    What she's suggesting is that cutting your food intake so aggressively as to actually succeed at reducing your weight by 7 kg in 6 weeks is very likely to be an ultimate fail as you will have learned no good lessons about maintaining a healthy weight.

    That's a yo-yo, isn't it? If it's your thing, go ahead.

    If you’ve done it before, maybe consider why you’re doing it again. Did you maintain your losses and are going for more, or did you gain it back?

    And the schedule. What if you only lose 10lbs in 6 weeks? That’s pretty good actually. Do you count it as failure and quit?

    Trying to lose weight before my son's wedding. Ive already lost 2 kg's . Once I lose the weight I want then I'll readjust my diet to be a healthy one.
