How Many Pounds Can I Realistically Lose In A Week On A Regular Diet?
I’m on a regular diet of just eating much healthier and exercising at least 2 or 3 times a week. How many pounds do you think realistically I can lose in a week.

The most you can lose naturally, without damaging your body is 2 lbs a week. If you try more than that, or less than 1500 calories a day, your body will go into a ’starvation mode’ where it thinks its starving, and actually retain more calories from you food, making you gain weight!
goodluck on your diet!

Well, if you lose more than 3 pounds a week, it’s unhealthy. Besides, the more gradually you burn the weight off, the more likely it is to stay off. You should aim for a loss of about 2 pounds a week at most.
A pound is 3500 calories. That’s a hell of a lot of exercise right? But the everyday activities work towards it.
PS: Don’t try diet pills. They actually can give you heart problems.

You need more info about how hard you are exercising,
The healthiest weight loss is gradual which should be 1 pound a week
I exercise almost everyday and thats what im losing,
So ill just guess maybe half a pound a week for you.
