I think it depends on how much weight one is over by?
The reasonable standard is no more than 2% total weight loss per month.
Translated for me at 127lbs (yes, I really do average that), 30lbs loss
in 6 weeks would indicate extreme medical issues. So if i wanted to
trim down in a healthy manner, it's 2lbs a month max here. It's only
that I am 5ft1 that makes me a bit 'pluffy' and not hugely pluffy even
then. Reality, 1lb a month for a short time is smarter here and that's
because I'm not particularily overweight.
