Would it be a problem to lose three pounds a week through diet and exercise?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
That is a bit much: A more realistc goal is 1-1.5 pounds per week. Track calories & exercise. Decrease total calories you consume and increase exercise to lose weight. Good app for tracking diet and exercise is "my fitness pal".
