Hey i hope this helps...The only real way to lose weight safely it to eat healthier and exercise. It may seem like this is said so many times but it is true. Rapid weight loss might give you immediate results, but your harming your body. Your metabolism usually slows down if you cut down your calorie intake below 1200 calories. And since you are depriving yourself of foods you want (and need), your bound to binge on them later. When you lose a lot of weight in a short period of time, once you start eating normally again, you gain the weight back + more because your metabolism is so slow...
