You may be at risk of breaking down muscle mass and therefore slowing your metabolism.  If weight loss is too rapid, your body thinks there is a famine and slows down your metabolism, which could halt weight loss.  Eating Free recommends a weight loss of 1 to 2 pounds per week and in certain circumstances 3 pounds per week.  Please contact a Eating Free coach to reassess your calorie prescription.
