I am 31 weigh 180 if i stop eating meat and starch for four months will it help me to loose weight i'm only want to loose 45 pounds?

Not practical: Several facts about weight loss: Trying to loose more than 1-2 pounds a week is not advised and is generally unhealthy. Studies suggest that the most important thing is to limit the amount of calories on a daily basis. Cutting out meat per se won't accelerate weight loss. A low-carb diet is not significantly more effective than a normal diet. Go to http://bit.ly/1ybbG2S
