How quickly is too fast for weight loss?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No such thing: We have been told by many in the weight loss "industry" that 2-3 pounds a week is safe. But through gastric bypass we now know 1-3 pounds daily is perfectly safe as well and can lead to amazing improvements. I get my patients to lose 1-2 pounds a day without the surgery by putting them on a similar diet as the gastric bypass. They've all done fine and lost weight "safely.".
