Q: What is a realistic time frame to lose two inches off my waist if I were to follow your program?

A: If you're overweight, I would say one inch per month is a good target. My approach is not about losing weight quickly, it's about LOSING FAT FOR GOOD. By slowly losing fat and fat only, you ensure that your metabolism stays high, that the weight/fat loss can continue for a very long time, and that the fat will never come back. Contrast that with the many gimmicky diets that lose you 20 pounds in one month most of which won't even be fat (it'll be muscle and water), which will completely destroy your metabolism, and which almost guarantee that all that weight and more will come back in a matter of months.

So please don't be put off by the seemingly slow pace -- you may only lose one inch per month, but you'll be able to continue for 6 months or 1 year or even longer and completely transform yourself for the better with time. That's something that's not possible for the vast majority of dieters today who lose a bunch of weight quickly only to see it creep back and become worse off than when they started.
