How can i lose 3-5 pounds in a week?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually a goal of 2: or less pound loss for weak is healthier than rapid loss. To lose weight insure that calories burned > calories consumed. Drink at least 8 - 8 oz glasses of water per day. Try for 8 hours of sleep/night. Aim for at least 5 servings of vegetables & 4 servings of fruit per day. Use whole grain when possible. Avoid sodas, alcohol & junk carbohydrates. Get in a good mix of aerobics & weight lifting.
