Well here’s a question I just had to answering straight away:

Question: I know that losing a rapid amount of weight in a short time is very very unhealthy but I have an event coming up in approx 7 days and I’ve heard of this diet. I just want to lose 3 or 4 kg but Now say if I do this diet for the sake of the event and then really really properly diet for about 1 month or so, will I maintain the lost weight permenantly or for long term? Because I need to lose about 4 kg minimum for the event. I need as much as help as possible. Thank You.
Answer: crash diets are a terrible idea! no one should ever consume less than 1500 calories a day. it’s just dangerous. I know two people with eating disorders and crash diets are just the beginning to a life long struggle with an eating disorder.

On another note, I’m currently trying to loose 25 pounds and I’m one week in! I lost 5 pounds by eating 1500 calories a day and excercising for about an hour a day. I cut out red meat, snack on fruit during the day, and count the amount of carbs and fat I consume. you can’t go wrong :) you’ll feel good too!
