If a person lost one pound a week I wonder if they would gain weight? I mean if the article is true,that losing lots of weight is fairly easy, and we all have seen many fat people do it(then go back up), then losing a pound a week should be a piece of cake. Why not just lose a pound or two a week for the rest of one’s life as a means of maintaining at a reasonably healthy weight? I think that’s what I habitually do ever since I reached 212 pounds 15 years ago. I never ever weigh anything but 212 or 213 pounds.
