\nCan I Lose Holiday Fat Fast?<\/o><\/strong>
\n <\/o>
\nQ:<\/em><\/strong>  I had a fun holiday season but — uh oh — I gained 10 pounds. Ugh! Now I’m disgusted with myself and want to get rid of it quickly. How can I lose this excess weight in the next couple of weeks? — Chris G.<\/o>

\nCoach Fred Matheny Replies:<\/em><\/strong>  As wisecracking nutritionists say, the only way to lose 10 pounds quickly is to give birth. (Ed note<\/em>: Or you could have a pulmonary embolism, good for 18 pounds in 9 days!)<\/o>

\nWeight can go on rapidly when you eat too much and don’t exercise. But it’s counterproductive and even dangerous to try to get rid of it just as fast.<\/o>
\n <\/o>
\nThe general rule for good health and long-lasting weight reduction is to lose no more than two pounds per week. So, it’ll take you upwards of a month to eliminate the results of all that fruitcake and eggnog. <\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
