Specializes in Emergency Medicine

Nothing fast: You cannot lose weight fast by fasting and inactivity, plus you will tend to lose the wrong weight--being muscle mass. There should be some activity you can do to burn calories while making a conscious effort to eat less calories. The calories expended > ingested rule still applies.
