It depends, if you have alot of weight to lose, you do tend to lose faster in the beginning. It does taper off though.

Answer 2

6 kilos in 2 weeks is nice, I misplaced sixteen pounds in three weeks doing this: keep on with a weight-reduction plan between 1200 - 1500 calories, then do whatever you might be cozy doing. Some type of undertaking you revel in, come on there has to be anything. I determined to try this: 30 pushups x 3 sets 50 situps x 2 sets shadow boxing x 15 minutes - half-hour warranty you you'll be able to drop a few pounds; be certain you do not starve your self, devour what you need just restrict the quantity of calories and i suggest consuming much less carbs ( bread, and so forth ) Hope this helps!

Answer 3

6 pounds in 2 weeks is great, I lost sixteen pounds in 3 weeks doing this: stick to a nutrition plan between 1200 - 1500 energy, then do something you're delicate doing. some form of workout you savour, come on there must be something. i desperate to do this: 30 pushups x 3 instruments 50 situps x 2 instruments shadow boxing x quarter-hour - half-hour assure you you will drop some weight; ensure you do no longer starve your self, consume what you like only shrink the quantity of energy and that i propose ingesting much less carbs ( bread, and so on ) wish this permits!

Answer 4

If you are losing more than a pound every other day or about 3 a week you are really pushing it and can get into problems of losing muscle not fat. Don't go by what you see on TV as a guide to real life,

Answer 5

You should try not to loose more than 1to 2 kgs a week. Loosing more than 1-2 kgs a week could affect your health adversely and you will find that you have regained the lost weight after you stop your weight loss program.I found this information at http://tinyurl.com/jax5h

Answer 6

It's very unsafe because to lose 6 pounds a week beats a lot out of your heart. Your heart muscle will weaken because of the sudden loss of weight which not only includes fat but muscles too. It will be much easier to suffer from a heart attack.

Answer 8

I don't think that it is a problem but what most are saying is that when you lose that much you may put it back on because you may return to your old way of eating because you have not learned to eat healthy while losing the weight fast. I have lost great numbers of weight in one week and did not put it back on until I would start my "emotional eating" which then the weight would come back on quick. Keep in mind the following:


Diets can work but because we know so little about ourselves and our relationship with food, it makes it difficult to win the battle. A lot of us have problems with dieting because we have a problem called "emotional eating" we eat to comfort ourselves during difficult, stressful, sad, etc times in our lives.

You may experience all those emotions during dieting as we continuously get on the scale hoping to see a big difference in numbers after dieting only for a day or two. Also what is stressful when dieting is that we try to lose a large number of weight in such a short period of time which in most cases is unreasonable.

This all brings about stress, discomfort and sadness. When we feel this way, we turn to our best friend for help and support which for many of us is food. The diet is now broken and we feel that we can't stick to diets. We then try fad diet after fad diet hoping to lose the original 20 pounds and now we may have as much as 30 pounds to lose because we continue to put on weight as we continue to break these fad diets by binging before starting our next diet.

Please learn about your relationship with food before your next diet so that you may achieve your goals. To help a little, keep in mind the following:

You already know how to lose weight. You know that if you eat less and exercise more eventually you’ll see the pounds come off. What’s getting in your way? Why do you usually regain the weight you lost? The answer to all these questions is the same “Emotional Eating.” Simply defined, emotional eating means you eat to satisfy emotional hunger; it means you use food for comfort or as a way to cope with life; and it means you eat for reasons other than what your body needs. Whenever you reach for a boredom-breaking snack despite your commitment, or whenever you eat to quell anxiety, that’s emotional eating. Whenever you binge after a fight, or double up on portions because your day turned sour, that’s emotional eating. Whenever you feel that sharp craving for your favorite food, that’s emotional eating. When we eat during these times while on a diet, we believe the diet doesn’t work or that we lack self control and then look for the quickest way to lose weight (fasting/diet pills, ect) after eating all we can since we already messed the diet day up. Read the information below but remember that emotional eating plays a big part in why we don’t continue dieting and why we regain lost weight and why we binge today and start a new diet tomorrow. Best of Luck.

P.S. After learning about my relationship with food, I was able to drop my weight from 263 pounds down to 151 pounds which is a 112 pound weight lost.

Answer 9

its safe bcause they CAN loose that much weight to begin with. if you are not that overweight, its not safe, and your body may go through starvation mode

Answer 10

that is unhealthy, plus if someone is losing that much weight a week, its probably almost all water weight anyway, not fat.
