Generally, stronger muscles are able to propel a body to greater speeds. Muscles produce force, and as that force overcomes the mass of the body, it will gain velocity, which is often measured as speed. There is little direct correlation between speed and the mass (size) of the muscles; smaller bodies tend to move faster (twitch muscles), which larger, heavier bodies do not.

What should be a diet plan for a person who want to lose his weight?
There are many ways to go about tackling weight loss. One great way is to cut back on how much you eat. Junk foods, and fast foods contain lots of fat and grease. They are not inherently bad though. People tend to eat too much of these foods which leads to weight gain. If you moderate, or even eliminate these types of foods in your diet plan you will be significantly increasing your chances of loosing weight. It is not just junk foods, and fast foods that can cause you to gain weight. Foods typically have values on the back of their packaging which will allow you to see the number value of how many calories, fats, sodium, etc. By noting the amount of values in each of the servings you can moderate your intake daily and count what you have eaten.
All this being said, one of the easiest ways to start tackling weight loss begins with what you eat. If you stick to a moderated diet, and consume healthier portions of food, and/or stick to certain food groups, I.E: Vegetarian, Vegan, omnivorous. You should experience less of a craving for food because you limit your intake of food matter to your bodies ability to use this food as nutrients over time.
Next is the topic of exercise. It does not sound very pleasant, but realize that a sedentary life style as comfortable as it may seem even if you have a perfect diet is debilitating to the human body. Muscles need to work to grow, and help burn fat. Even a simple routine of walking around the block one or twice is enough to build up energy, and muscle mass as well as start burning fat.
Fat is a survival mechanism in which the human body stores energy in fat. When we work out or do something for a prolonged period of time such as running, or swimming, our body starts to burn fat to give us more energy to complete a task. Fat is also not inherently bad. Fat can cause problems when it causes obesity in people and from obesity causes many problems for the heart, liver, and other organs of the body as fat builds up around those organs.
So with a simple change in diet, and a simple change in exercise you will eventually begin to loose weight slowly. You can work lesser or harder on both, but both are the basic catalyst to losing weight. If you don't follow those two basic rules of weight loss, then it may not even be worth trying.
There are of course alternative medical avenues you can turn to such as weight loss surgeries. Most of these are considered cosmetic though, and won't be covered by insurance. You would most likely have to pay out of your own pocket.
Stay away from sugar. You need it, but not too much. Eat some a day without overdoing it. Too much sugar turns into cholesterol that clogs major arteries!
