When you start losing weight, it can be very frustrating when you get going with high hopes only to fail to reach your short-term goals. We will often tell ourselves that we want to lose 1 to 2 pounds each week. That said, the reality of those results can be very different.
Dieters may find that they don’t start losing weight at the speed they expected. They could discover that they tend to plateau for a while then see pounds dropping all at once before plateauing again. They may also find that their strategy doesn’t work at all.
