A member asked:
Can you tell me how to lose 3-5 pounds each week?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
For most people that: would be steep for an average rate of loss. Consider 2 or less pounds per week. Eat healthfully & be physically active. Aim for 7.5 to 8 hrs of sleep / night. Hydrate w at least 64 oz of water / day. Calories burned must > calories consumed. Do both cardio & weight training. You can mix & match different kinds of exercise.
