Just a question I have never seen addressed.
I don't think that there is anything "known" about the science of dieting that experts will not have opposing views about. However, I have heard it said that to actually lose weight, e.g., not just shedding water or putting it right back on, that you should not lose weight any faster than you put it on. Certainly sounds reasonable.
