Please stay in touch: w/your doc. That's a low amount of calories. Some folks find a ketogenic diet helpful. It's fat burning but ask your doc first. Peace and good health. Good fat is good for us. Beware of low fat misinformation. Green tea and EGCG capsules from green tea can boost metabolism but lifestyle, exercise, is also important.

No need for speed: Weight loss is a challenging process but a rewarding and important one when you are overweight.
Speed rarely wins this race. A slow more deliberate process leads to longer sustained weight loss.
It starts with mentally getting past this necessity for speed. Otherwise, you will be doomed to fail.
Set yourself up for success not failure!
good luck!

Does detoxing help loose weight?

Dr. Robert Kwokanswered

No: A person can eat healthy foods in proper amounts (less food than before), exercise several times a week, avoid sugar and simple starches, avoid drinks containing sugar, and thus lose weight (plus keep it off) without any "detox". The "detox" teas and products are sold to earn money for the merchants and manufacturers. Humans bodies are "self-cleaning", so don't need to spend money on "detox".
