I'm a short, large framed girl, meaning that when I put on weight it isn't just in the stomach, but all over. Unfortunately, since everything was growing proportionately, I didn't notice until I'd managed to get 30 pounds overweight.

I checked a BMI calculator before asking this question.

The only safe way is 2 lbs a week or less, so 15 weeks = 3 months and 3 weeks to safely lose 30 lbs. Any faster than that and you're losing muscle, water, or colonic waste. It actually might help you to try colonic irrigation and a detox diet. Learn to eat healthy and have fun with it. Focus on fresh raw fruits and vegetables.

I found the book to be very informative and easy to read.
I've lost 17 pounds in 12 days, I'm just concerned that I'm losing too much weight, too quickly. I will admit I haven't followed the guide exactly. I'm not sticking perfectly to the listed foods and meal plans (but mostly) and doing very little exercise, but the weight keeps flying off.
It clearly works and if I'd followed it exactly I think it would scare the living daylights out of me because of the amount that I'd lose. So thanks again for the information. I've never purchased anything like this before because they are usually full of trash, but 3WD has been a pleasant surprise.

There is no fast solution. If you burn 3,500 more calories than you take in you will lose one pound. Start reading labels. Walking for an hour burns about 200 calories. Half an hour on an elliptical trainer burns about 250 calorie. Do the math. One South Beach protein snack bar is 140 calories. You can see that it takes tine to gain weight and time to lose. If you cut back too drastically on calories, your metabolism will slow down and burn calories more slowly. It a complex equation.

According to my doctor a safe and healthy weight loss should be about 2 pounds a week. That way your body does not go into shock and it helps keep the weight off.
