Weight loss warnings * Be sure to consult with your physician regarding your weight loss program; your physician is there to help and may have additional suggestions for you. * Fast and extreme weight loss is unhealthy and will ultimately result in weight gain. (This is also called "yo-yo dieting".) * Do not skip a meal just because you think that it will reduce weight. In fact, your body will go into "starvation mode," storing fat rather than burning fat.
