Specializes in Psychiatry

Slowwww Downnnnn: 3 to 4 kg weight loss in a week is way too fast for most people. If you are really overweight - up to 0.9 kg per week is probably the fastest that would be recommended as an average. (There are some cases of morbid obesity in which a physician would recommend faster loss).
