To lose 50 pounds is never an easy thing to do but people have done it before you, so it's entirely within your power.
I say this only to be honest with you: you have to be committed to the plan, but you can succeed if you set your mind to it.
I can only suggest a way in which you can do it.
If you are otherwise healthy there is no reason why you should not try to lose weight quickly.
As a matter of fact, a recent study published in the International Journal of Behavioral Medicine suggests that, for obese patients in the initial stages of weight loss, shedding pounds quickly may actually be key to keeping them off.
This is the first thing you have to accept.
You don't have to lose "slow and steady" like the so-called experts keep tell you.
Actually, it is better to take advantage of the fast weight loss you will experience at the beginning of the diet.
The rate will slow down on its' own.
If you have a fast initial weight loss your motivation will be better and it will be easier to stick with the diet.
Personally, I lost 50 pounds in 3 months and I didn't have any adverse side effects and the sky didn't fall down on me.
To lose 50 pounds fast, you not only need a diet which will provide a fast and continuous weight loss, you will also need something that will deal with you hunger and cravings.
Fast because you want to get thin as soon as possible, continuous because it takes time to lose 50 pounds.
The fast part will be low calorie.
The lower the daily calories, the faster the weight loss.
The continuous becomes a problem because of hunger and cravings.
When you lower your daily calorie consumption significantly you will experience hunger and cravings and that will end your dieting attempts.
You have to find a product that will curb your hunger and cravings.
Especially find something that addresses cravings because cravings are worse than hunger.
I can eat an apple to satisfy my hunger but it doesn't even begin to satisfy my cravings.
You need a diet which will work in the long term and not just in the short term.
That's why you need to be extra careful when choosing a diet to follow, it has to be one you can follow more than a couple of weeks.
It doesn't have to be one you follow for the rest of your life, just one you can follow a few months.
Your maintenance diet can be something entirely different and there is plenty of time to plan for that after you lose your weight.
How much can you lose with this diet? It really depends on your starting weight and a lot of other factors like how strictly you stay true to the plan.
If you are very overweight and you stick to the plan, you could lose 50 pounds in as little as 4 months which is very impressive.
You may lose even more weight initially if you limit carbohydrates.
