I didn't say I was losing weight through drugs or any other artificial means, I'm just taking it slow. Taking a step by step approach to weight loss is recommended over drastic loss in a month or so. The risk of putting the weight back on fast is very high, and the constant ups and downs in your body weight is unhealthy.
Basically, I will cut things out of my diet over time. Right now I have a lot of caffeine in my diet (in the form of sugary iced teas, sodas, etc). I need to cut that stuff down over time. If I do it too fast, there is a possibility of caffeine withdrawal. I have had it before. It gave me a pretty brutal headache and some other problems with my energy levels for a few days. Then it subsided. Asking a nutritionist I was recommended to take it slowly.
Basic things like that can make it a lot easier and a lot more healthy.
