    losing weight fast almost guarantees two things - first, that you'll gain it all back and second, you'll lose muscle mass. losing fast is a gateway to yo-yo dieting.

    Yes, make it pleasant, slow and delicious. Don't go fast.

    Fast is a steady trend of 1 lb a week.

    Anything faster = very likely not getting there at all.

    You can do that by reducing your TDEE by 500 calories a day. That’s A LOT of calories.

    I recommend half that so it feels easier and more enjoyable.

    The winner is getting there and feeling the best.

    Go slow. When I lost too quickly, my hair started falling out and I lost muscle tone despite using weight machines. Wasn't fatigued, but I did miss losing some of that hair!
