so ive been reading up on diets and the different types of meal plans ( i had no idea there were so many ) and this website has a planner that asks you questions about your weight , lifestyles and goals. i entered everything and it suggested i do the " low-carb express" meal plan . it says its designed to " fast track your weight loss" what exactly does that mean ? i think im thinking to hard about many things and on top of that im new to the diets so i dont know what most stuff means.

what im getting from it is its designed to help you shed the fat and pounds at a faster rate ? i know that if you have alot of weight to lose its typically faster then it slows down as your body has less and less fat . since i have alot to lose do you think this meal plan along with exercise would help me shed those first couple pounds at a fast rate? not super fast but like would i be able to see even the slightest different in 2 weeks?


here is the link

    Keep it simple. There's no need to follow any schmancy, restrictive plan, nor to "jump start" your weight loss.

    Use the mfp settings to generate a daily caloric intake goal. You don't say how much you plan to lose but here's a good rule of thumb in terms of setting your weekly lb loss goal:

    More than 75 lbs: 2 lbs/week
    40-75 lbs: 1.5 lbs/week
    10-40 lbs: 1 lb/week
    Less than 10 lbs: 0.5 lb/week

    Eat foods that you like, that fit in your caloric goal, and help you hit reasonable amounts of protein and fat. Aim to get around 80-90% "whole" foods, and enjoy treats or whatever you like for the rest. Don't be fooled into thinking you need to cut out entire food groups to lose weight. Track your intake carefully, by weighing and measuring your food. Get some exercise in, preferably involving some resistance training.
