Can I lose 2 pounds a week with this routine? Diet and exercise?

Is it bad to lose 3 pounds a week if you're doing it through healthy diet/exercise?

  • I've done the math with the calories, and I could lose 3 pounds a week if I eat 1200 calories a day, and run 2 miles a day (which is what I usually do for track) and then doing pilates 5 times a week. Would this be bad? I'm not severly overweight, 135 pounds at 5'4. I plan on doing this for 5 weeks to lose a total of 15 pounds. Is this okay?

  • Answer:

    no, as long as its a result of eating what your body needs and exercising.. one week i actually shedded 9lbs.. it was a weird thing but 3lbs a week is not really outrageous as long is it isnt due to fasting or something unhealthy.

That might be bad. You should definitely eat more, but continue the exercise. I'm sure you will still lose weight.
