Depending on how over weight you are, if your obese it might be OK but if not I don't think its possible lol, my best diet tip is make small changes and don't push yourself to hard or itll backfire. I went from 115 to 108 in about 2 months,just from cutting out certain foods and drinks that are high in calories and most the time no excersize.

Good luck tho dieting sucks

Most likely not. It's more healthy to lose 1 or 2 pounds a week. That means, 8 pounds a month should be the maximum. If you lose weight too quickly, you'll lose muscle weight, not fat weight. And it's the muscles that will help you lose more weight in the long run.

No

Try to lose 1-2 pounds a week, any more than that is deemed medically unhealthy

It also will help you look better, because you won't have excess skin.

Losing weight quickly can causd fertility issues, as well as skin&hair issues.

take it slow, and good luck. :)

I lost 16lbs in a month, but girls and guys lose at different rates. 2lbs a week is optimal they say.
