I go to the gym atleast 3 times a week (not this week though because I was sick), been doing it for about 1.5 weeks and don't eat junk foods/have only 3 meals a day, not including snack time which is fruits.
A few questions!
When should I start noticing weight loss?
Is losing 10 lbs in 3 weeks healthy?
And lastly, how does someone lose 4-5 lbs a week in a healthy way since I read it in another question... is it based on how much you weigh to begin with?
Thanks!
