A member asked:
I'm just trying to lose weight, if i cut down on calories and exercise for a while will i lose weight?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: It takes 3,500 calories to lose a pound (not talking about water weight) So the rate of loss will depend on how many calories you ultimately consume and burn.
