How much weight can you lose in just 1hour?

Answer 1

Well, you can lose several pounds of water through sweating. Doesn't really mean a thing, unless you're an athlete trying to pass inspection into a certain weight class. Apart from lighter, you'll ALSO be real thirsty, and as soon as you start drinking, you'll put the weight lost through sweating right back on. It's really not possible to lose any important amount of fat weight in one hour. At most, you can burn maybe 1000 calories in one hour - and that's a fit, strong person working flat out continuously. In theory, that'd be about 1/3 of a pound of fat, but our bodies don't work like that. Fat is difficult and slow to turn into energy the body can use, so our bodies much prefer to use easier sources first. So at best, you're looking at half your spent energy coming from fat. Also, since fat is slower to turn into energy, you won't be able to maintain a 1000 cal/hour burn from fat. So you're looking at maybe one ounce fat for each hour of intense workout. Any real attempt at weight loss has to start with controlling your intake, as you just can't work out hard and long enough to lose weight through exercise alone.
