When you think of joining a weight loss program, you might be attracted to the advertisement stating losing weight in a fast way.  This sounds wonderful, doesn’t it? You can lose your weight without dieting, without exercising, and just as simple as one two three.  In fact, losing 10 lbs in 10 days is possible to achieve if you really understand the weight loss concept and you don’t mind to exchange it with your health.

We know that 3,500 calories equals to 1 lb (or 7,700 calories for 1 kg).  And you and I also know that it takes time to gain weight.  If you expect to lose excessive weight in any weight loss program in just few days or few weeks time, then let me tell you what you should do to get that results.

Just take the marathon runners as example.  An average-size marathon runner burns about 3,500 calories during marathon, which equals to 1 lb.  If you want to lose 10 lbs, that means you were to run a marathon, 42.2km (or 26.2 miles) for consecutive 10 days, then you might lose 10 lbs in this case without other effort made on your weight loss program.  Of course, you need to take huge risk that your feet, lower back, knees and most everything will be injured before you could finish the running.
