What do you advise if i want to lose about 2.5-3 pounds a week but how?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Losing weight: Unless recommended by your doctor, consider lowering rate of loss to 1/2 pound up to 2 pounds per week. Recommend that calories burned exceed calories in. Drinking at least 8 8 ounce glasses per day is important for both hydration and weight control. Try to get in whole foods (fiber) as well as 5 servings of vegetables and 4 servings of fruit per day. Physical activity is essential. At least 8 >
