Quick weight loss: Any quick weight loss tends to be followed by weight gain. The best solution for weight loss is a long term change in diet. Raw food diet or a cleanse may help you loose quickly.

I'm 5'1.5 and 122 pounds. I'm very very petite I wear a size 0. Is that a normal weight for my height and frame? My doctor said I weigh too much for my height though I can't see how that's true since I'm so small.
