I thought this was interesting read in an article sponsered by Prevention
Make Like a Hare
Slow and steady doesn’t always win the race for weight loss. New research shows that women who lost at least 1 1/2 pounds a week were more successful at achieving long-term significant weight loss than those who lost 1/2 pound or less a week. The fast-weight losers were 5 times more likely to have lost at least 10% of their body weight at 18 months than those who took off the pounds more gradually.
