It depends...: Please review any diet/exercise plan with your doctor first. However, the answer will depend on how active you are and what your basal metabolic rate is (calculators on the web for you). In general, 1 pound of fat is approximately 3500 calories. To reach a goal of 50 pound weight loss in three months, you would need to shave roughly 1, 960 calories a day through diet and or exercise. Best of luck.
