You are in Self-Care .
Many people try to lose weight through crash diets or programs that promise quick weight loss.
Losing weight rapidly through crash diets usually leads to a return of body fat within six months. For many people, weight loss and gain becomes a repeating cycle. To keep weight off permanently, experts recommend that you lose no more than two pounds per week. In most cases, successful weight management comes from making small changes in your everyday eating and activity patterns. Approaching weight loss as a gradual process instead of a crash program is safer and more effective.
