30lbs in 90 days

[CherryLimeade]

Is it healthy to lose 30 lbs in 90 days?

[Barb135]

Safe weight loss is considered to be 1-2 pounds/week, which would come out to 4-8 pounds/month.  10 pounds in 3 months, might be a bit much, but if you watch portion sizes and get plenty of exercise, you could do it.  Anything drastic, such as diet pills, skipping meals, over exercising, etc, would be unsafe.

Be sure to adopt lifestyle changes, otherwise, weight will most likely be regained quickly.

It depends on your body type, height, weight etc... Most doctors would say it is unhealthy (I'm not a doctor...) so be careful with drastic measures. Can it be done? Yes. Is it risky? Yes. Listen to your body, it will tell you whether it's doing OK or not. And make sure to get plenty of nutrients in your diet! :-)
