    Is it a Miley Cyrus song? (I'm behind on pop culture).

    Iv lost 8lbs in a week and half ? People are going to say this isn't healthy but I feel so much better for it! My motivation because I can see the numbers dropping on the scales has increased and my determination is sky high!!! I'm eating less than 1,500 calories a day but feel full and fuelled. Also on a 28 day detox which is doing wonders! Can anyone recommend a exercise for burning stomach fat a bit quicker! Thanks

    8 lbs in the first week = maybe 6 lbs water weight, 2 lbs weight loss. The faster you lose (esp if you only have a little to lose) the more muscle you'd be losing than fat. You're setting yourself up to keep your stomach fat and lose your ab muscles (hyperbole).

    1,500 calories- do you use a food scale? You're probably (hopefully) actually eating more than that. I'm a woman and I'm eating 1,600 calories and losing.

    28 day detox = you have been swindled of your money AND credibility.

    Seriously, though- the slower you lose, the more lean mass you retain and the more fat you lose. That's why people who lose very quickly complain of being "skinny fat." You also have more loose skin =(

    I wonder how much LBM you lost OP? I wonder if your Body fat% has increased during this quick weight loss of yours?

    OP didn't say he was using tea, he just said 28 day detox. That could be just eating healthier for 21 days and even if he has added tea to his diet it doesn't mean it's a bad thing. There are plenty of teas that help the way your body functions. Even dr's. are becoming more aware of this. There is a lot of stuff you can take to support better detox of your body. Just because it can do it on it's own doesn't mean that helping it do the job better is a bad thing. What is wrong with helping your body preform better and increasing how well your organs perform? By the way, I lost more the first couple of weeks too and it hasn't come back yet.

    Omg thank you so much , finally someone that can be nice and not act like a know it all because they are older hahaha ! Thank you
