A member asked:

Is it safe to lose weight by just cutting down on eating?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Diet, exercise: You may initially lose weight by decreasing your food intake, but to continue to lose and maintain a healthy weight you need exercise, too. Walking 30 minutes daily is a great way to start. Also, make sure the calories you do consume come from healthy foods
