Brief Answer:
slow and steady wins the race

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking

I read your question and I understand your concern. Losing weight may be a challenge some times. Walking a mile alone is not enough. It needs a lot of diet and lifestyle modifications. Exercise and diet restriction are some of the options. Reducing and cutting calories are advised. Plenty of fluids, low carbohydrates and more proteins In diet .

Drinking cold water before the meal 2 glasses at least both adds to some ALP loss as well as reduce satiety. Apart from it add high fibers in diet.

Stay away from these cheap publicity stunts and any medication. Just stay natural. Don't lose weight at a faster pace. 2 pounds a week is enough.

The best course of action here is signing to a weight loss program duly approved by FDA for minimum 12 weeks.

I hope it helps. Consult your doctor as our advice is just for education purposes only. Take good care of yourself and don't forget to close the discussion please.
