Safe amount of weight to lose?!
Question:
Safe amount of weight to lose?
i currently weigh 229 pounds, and want to lose 36 pounds in 8 weeks to bring me down to 195 -- a real healthy weight for me (i'm 6'2"). that makes 4.5 pounds a week. it's harder than it sounds, but i got down to 205 last year and then stopped working out. is 4.5 pounds a week a safe amount to lose??
Answers:
Generally doctors and nutritionist will tell you that it is most safe to lose 1 to 2 pounds a week.
