To lose weight quickly and in a healthy way, it is important that the person has healthy habits, which should include the practice of physical activity on a regular basis and that increase the metabolism and foods that also favor the functioning of the metabolism.
However, it is important to know that the "speed" of weight loss can vary according to the amount of weight you have to lose. Normally, the greater the weight you have to lose, the more you lose in less time, since the body is subjected to a different stimulus than you are used to, which is why most of the time in the first weeks of the diet the weight loss is greater .
