Counting calories leads to counting pounds.
Losing 30 to 40 pounds in a span of three weeks can be a difficult task to complete. Health professionals advise that losing weight in short intervals can be dangerous to your liver, kidneys and heart. However, there are ways to accomplish it that incorporate dieting, exercise and sleep. When beginning any type of regiment or schedule, be sure to consult a physician. This is especially important if losing 30 to 40 pounds is more than 10 percent of your current body weight.
