Safe weight loss
By Dr. Kanthimathi
Normal recommendation for safe weight loss is to loose weight gradually and steadily 1-2 pounds per week.
Fast or sudden weight loss may cause loss of muscle, bone or water instead of fat.

0. High intensity interval training
0. Running for 30 minutes ( with at least an 8 mph space )
