Lizzie asks…
What is average weight loss for one week?
I was wondering if anyone knew what an average weight loss per week is. I started eating healthy last week at around 1200 calories *because I wasn’t yet working out* and lost 4 pounds. Now, I’ve started eating around 1600 calories because I’m alternating with aerobics and pilates and I have already lost 2 more pounds. I want the weight that I lose to stay off *just had a baby and had a few extra pounds after getting married!* What do doctors recommend losing, and if I’m losing too much, should I add more calories or willthe weight loss taper off after a few weeks?

Healthy weight loss is around 2 pounds a week but that can be done at a way higher rate depending on the diet

What is the best way to burn fat after a rapid weight loss?
I was recently taken off of a steroid medication (prednisone) and thus, lost a significant amount of weight quite rapidly as the medication was reduced. In total, I lost about 50 pounds within the span of a few months.
Unfortunately, due to the sheer speed of the weight loss, this has left me with some awkward fat around my chest and stomach. I’m quite slim now (6’1″ and 145 lbs) but in need of some toning and trimming.
Which types of exercises are most efficient in eliminating/reducing residual fat? I’m hesitant to jump straight to muscle toning because I have read from a few sources that muscle in fact builds behind fat – not reducing it, but instead pushing it out further.
Any techniques/styles/routines etc. that aim to burn fat are most appreciated.
Thank you!

Eat Fat burn Foods like
Almonds and other nuts (with skins intact) – Build muscle, reduce cravings
Dairy products (fat-free or low-fat milk, yogurt, cheese) – Build strong bones, fire up weight loss

Turkey and other lean meats – Build muscle, strengthen immune system
Berries – Improve satiety, prevent cravings
Enova oil (soy and canola oil) – Promotes fullness, not easily stored as fat
Peanut butter – Boosts testosterone (a good thing even in women), builds muscle, burns fat

Charles asks…
What type of supplements should I be taking for weight loss?
Just not sure what I should be taking for weight loss. Some people say whey during the day and casein at night, would this work for weight loss? I work out everyday, just not sure what will assist in the goal of thin and beautiful. Currently at 160, aiming for 145 by July. Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks!
