Lose a pound a day? That's easy. I once cut 8 pounds in a day to make a weight class.  I have wrestler friends who have cut more than that.  Based on my experience alone, I have no doubt you can lose 7 pounds in 7 days or 10 pounds in 10 days like all those crazy ads claim. It doesn't even have to take that long. BUT... Weight loss and fat loss are not the same thing. Can you really lose a pound of FAT per day? 

5 days of perfect nutrition and training during the week can get wiped out by 2 days of indulgence on the weekend. In fact, it’s possible that even 1 day of weekend excess can set you back far enough that your net weekly results are a wash. Trainers get frustrated when the work they do with their clients all week long in the gym gets erased between Friday night and Monday Morning. As they say, “You can’t out-train a bad diet.” Today, however, it’s not just trainers who believe that 5 minus 2 equals 0. Scientists have also confirmed it.

If you’re still wondering whether keto is magic, risky, or just misunderstood… this will set the record straight
