A member asked:
Are there any tips for extreme weight loss in a short amount of time, like 24 pounds in a month or two?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fast weight loss: weight loss of 1-2 lbs/week is the typical advice. Although it may seem like slow for weight loss it's more likely to help you maintain your weight loss for the long term. if you lose a lot of weight very quickly you may not lose as much fat as you would with a modest rate of weight loss, Instead you might lose water weight or even lean tissue since it's hard to burn that many fat that fast
