Thanks for your blog. I am a bit overweight but not quit obese. My BMI is definitely showing 20% higher than I should be. I will follow your advice and walk an hour each day. What do you think is a healthy rate of weight loss? Which teas do you recommend for weight loss?
Hi Dave
A rate of 4 to 8 pounds per months is healthy.But I do not advise strict dieting.
The best way is regular walking or practicing of yoga.
Thanks
It is amazing that I used to be always slim and wore everything size small, yet now I am reading these articles about weight loss and the causes. I don’t eat a lot, don’t like endurance training. In the last 2 years, though, I have managed to get down 2 sizes. I enjoy my yoga workouts, walk regularly and choose carefully what I eat and how I eat. I am still battling with hydration. I need motivation to drink more water. Any suggestions?
