You really don’t want a quick weight loss diet. Why is that? The reason is simple a diet is a temporary drastic change in what you eat. Also “quick” is a very relative term when it comes to weight loss. Doctors and nutritionist say that the safe and healthy amount of weight loss is 2 to 3 pounds a week. This is considered quick and healthy. What you really want is to change the way you eat on a permanent basis. Eat 5 or 6 half size meals instead of 3 big ones is one of the best permanent changes you can make.
