Dr. Leon Katz answered

Specializes in Bariatrics

Go slow: Make sure that you eat normally and don't reduce your caloric intake too drastically. Make sure that you exercise and use some weight exercises. Certainly doing aerobic exercise like running, elliptical or bike will greatly speed your fat loss.
