2-4 weeks: The simple equation for weight loss, if she's healthy. Less calories taken in (food) and more calories going out (daily activity). Note: most people take in close to 3500 calories per day, but only may need 2000. The excess calories equals added weight. Important to eat small meals every 3 hours to keep blood sugar level and avoid cravings. It can be easy -- look into take shape for life, .
