A member asked:

Is the 13 day metabolism diet advisable if you want to lose weight?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Lose weight: Weight should be decreased slowly - perhaps 2 pounds a month. That's 2 4 pounds a year - plenty of time for new clothing. Online there are many articles related to diet. My favorite is "NuVal". Don't forget to exercise.
