Diet: Without knowing what your diet is composed of - it would be hard to tell if it is healthy or not.

A member asked:

I'm losing 1-2 lbs. per day because I've restricted myself to a 500-calorie/day diet. Is it okay to lose up to 2 lbs per day as long as my diet is healthy and I'm doing cardio? I was told 1 lb. per week is safer. Why wouldn't 1-2 lbs. a day be good?
