hi, I have been on a deficit of 1500 calories for the past 3 days, so far I have lost about 12 pounds, how long will it take for me to notice changes in my body? before anyone says this is a really big deficit, I am under guidance from my doctor...currently I weigh 216 lbs, 3 days ago I was 228

    I don't know that it's possible to lose 12 pounds of fat in 3 days. More likely you have either a faulty scale or you've lost a lot of water weight. I'd say it's going to be at least a couple of weeks before you start noticing yourself losing fat or feel smaller.

    Depends on your body but for me, I started to notice at 20 lbs.

    I agree, I think 20 lbs is about where you really start to notice changes. Try taking measurements as well, or as other people have mentioned, take a picture of yourself in a mirror every couple of weeks or even just once a month. You will definitely notice then.
