  • Cutting more than 1/2 - 1lb a week I think it's mostly not advised ( my opinion and research ) because: 1) you don't allow yourself time to adjust to new eating habits, so when you're "done" and go back to old eating habits you "mysteriously" put the weight back on.

  • At your weight, you can safely lose a lot more weight faster than the typically advertised 1lb/week. HOWEVER, the biggest thing to focus on is your diet. We are creatures of habit, and your eating habits are what got you in this place to begin with. You have to kiss your old eating habits goodbye, permanently, if you want…
