Weight Loss Diet Advice
No matter how much excess weight or fat you have, if you want to
lose weight permanently, your diet program should be directed
toward a slow, steady weight loss. According to official
government dietary guidelines, unless your doctor feels your
particular health condition would benefit from more rapid weight
loss, you should expect to lose no more than 2 pounds/ 1kg of
fat a week, although initial loss (mainly water) may be greater.
Losing more weight is no guarantee that weight loss is likely to
be permanent.
