You should not attempt to lose weight by fasting and exercising. It can lead to severe illness. You should only attempt to lose weight by following a healthy diet and exercising.

To safely lose weight, you need to figure out the daily number of calories you need to maintain your weight. You can find a handy calculator on the MayoClinic website.

One pound of fat is equivalent to 3,500 calories.

In order to lose one pound of fat in a week, you will need to create a deficit of 500 calories each day by eating healthy and exercising.

In order to lose more than one pound a week, you need to increase the deficit. However, it only is safe to lose one to two pounds a week.
