Is it possible to lose 5-10 pounds in 2-3 weeks by working out and eating right?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible but not -: -advisable. That's about a pound a day or a crash diet. Instead aim for a pound in 10-14 days. Your goal is unhealthy,

A member asked:
Ive been working out (boxing and Pilates), as well as walking for 3 weeks. Ive always had a very poor metabolism (or at least difficulty losing weight), but I havent lost even one pound. I am fine with slow progress, but not zero progress. My concern is that I might not be taking in enough calories for my size. Im 56 and 291 pounds. Ive been eating between 950-1100 calories a day. Thanks for your help. Nutrition concern?
