What can be done to reduce body mass index (bmi) as fast as possible?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Caution: Exercise and a permanent change to a balanced diet are the safest and most assured way to lose weight and keep it off. Short term changes only lead to temporary weight loss. A firm committment to permanent lifestyle change is always best. Consider working with a personal trainer and/or dietician to help you. Good luck.
