These eating plans claim you\u2019ll radically shed excess pounds, detox your body, cleanse your skin - in short, achieve truly magical results in next to no time. But is this possible and are such diets actually so beneficial for your health? Can you lose, say, 80 pounds in just two months and keep this weight off for good? Read below to understand all the potential pitfalls of rapid weight loss programs and learn how to make your weight loss plan sustainable and healthy.<\/span>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">How To Lose 80 Pounds In 2 Months<\/h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Briefly, there\u2019s no way of safely doing this unless you\u2019re very overweight and your doctor has recommended you this pace. \u00abVery\u00bb in this particular case means a BMI in the obese range (30 or higher). Sometimes, in this situation, physicians will recommend a rapid pace of weight loss because the health risks associated with obesity for the individual person are more concerning than the risks associated with rapid weight loss. This rapid weight loss requires severe calorie restriction (to 1200 calories per day or even fewer) which needs to be supervised by a physician because it can be dangerous.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<strong>If you struggle to even flirt with the idea of giving up your favorite foods or working out till your legs give way \u2013 BetterMe app is here to breathe a fresh perspective into the way you view the weight loss process!
