Suggest Methods To Reduce Weight
Hello,
Im 16, and weigh 310 lbs. I want to lose weight for college this Fall. I was watching the MTV series "I Used to Be Fat" and realized that the teens were losing at least .5 to 1 lb per day. I was wondering if losing 1 pound per day for the next 6 months will harm me? I dont believe that one can only lose 1-2 pounds per week. What about the people who also shed pounds on the Biggest Loser? I believe its just the amount of effort you put in...so do you think its possible for me to lose 1 lb per day?

hai,
Reducing weight drastically as you mentioned is not advisable.
you should go reducing weight 1pound per week is medically possible.
1pound per week will lead to some problem.'
losing 1lbs per day should be under a physician and dietician care.
as your BMI indicates you are obese. sudden change in your diet plan will harm you.
you need a physician advise before you plan for weight loss program.
