What is the quickest weight loss people have experienced?
Hey Sue!
Yes there are many things that affect a persons ability to lose weight sustainably. Some people are not yet ready for that kind of weight loss. As a person continually develops into a habitually healthy individual they become more capable of rapid and sustainable weight loss.
As for qualifications I am a nutritionist and health coach. I am certified by the Institute for Integrative Nutrition and I am currently in the Institute for Functional Medicine’s Functional Medicine Practitioner Certification Program. Not that it’s relevant to nutrition but I also have double majors from CU Boulder in Psychology and Economics so I understand human behavior pretty well and from 2 unique perspectives, Psychology and Economics.
I’ve been working with clients as their nutritionist and health coach since early 2013. I work with people to get healthy and if losing a pound a day is what the person wants to do then I help them do it, and I have more than once.
And, additionally, I admit I don’t have much formal education but I’ve had lifelong exposure to food and nutrition concepts and a half dozen years of research.
You can see my website zaklyon.com for some client testimonials.
Hey Nancy!
I’ve worked with people to lose up to 15lbs in 2 weeks and many, not all, have kept it off.
Permanent weight loss is highly correlated to actual lifestyle changes so it has a lot to do with the commitment of the individual!
Not everybody is capable of rapid weight loss in their current situation but as that person improves their life and health, even if gradually, they become more likely to be able to lose a pound a day for 2 week and keep it off!
Hey Ariadne!

The long term development of a healthy lifestyle is something that takes some time and as people maintain the habit of heath their ability to lose weight quickly and permanently increases.
A pound a day of weight loss may not be possible by everyone in their current state but as a person progresses they become the kind of person who can lose weight that quickly and keep it off.
Hey Christine! Just curious I guess. I tend to think that as long as people have transitioned into a healthy lifestyle up to a pound a day of weight loss can be expected and is completely healthy when done properly, of course. I’ve lost 8lbs in 10 or 11 days using ketogenic intermittent fasting and bulletproof coffee.
