Fast weight loss is unhealthy because it can slow your metabolism and it will make you start burning muscle (from what I understand so far).
So my question is, Can fast weight loss be healthy if while cutting your calories you still separate to 5-6 meals a day to keep your metabolism up; While also going to the gym everyday working different muscle groups every other day, while still doing a strong aerobic workout every day?

I stuck relegiously to it for 3 months and lose 7 pound. I have quite a lot to lose so i thought i would lose more.The main problem was i ended up with too much uric acid in the blood and now my joints are painful but im going to try fast tract hypnosis. Keeping my fingers crossed.My friend also tried it and only lost 3 pound in a month.
edit this is something i read
I should know. I’m an idiot.
I bought the Fat Loss 4 Idiots program a few years ago (Actually, I think it was called "Weight Loss 4 Idiots" then). I was tempted by their claim that I could "lose 9 pounds in 11 days" by "eating foods that I choose". I was excited to fork over my money and begin my journey to weight loss success.
What happened? Well, when I tried to select my foods, I was presented with a list of food choices, many of which I didn’t like. Despite what they’ll tell you in the advertisements, this is a high protein low carb diet. And I’m a vegetarian. There were many "fake meat" products to choose from, but I don’t like those either.
Still, I thought that I might be able to substitute foods that I did like and somehow apply the principle of the diet. I didn’t like what I saw. Other review sites will tell you that you get to eat "4 square meals a day" on the Fat Loss 4 Idiots program. But this isn’t entirely true. You do get to eat four meals a day. However, the "meals" consist of one food only. How much of any one food can a person eat? Not much.
What about all the additional information that comes with the program? There was not a single piece of information on that site which I hadn’t already heard from a free source.
Fat Loss 4 Idiots only works because it is a very low calorie, low carb diet. However, it’s just that. A diet. It doesn’t teach you how to properly eat so that you don’t gain weight when you go off the diet. It’s likely that this is just a temporary solution.
The weight will come back.
The reality is that losing weight permanently isn’t easy and it doesn’t happen overnight. I know that’s not a popular sentiment, but it’s the truth. You are much better off making healthy changes over time that become a permanent part of your life.
Shannon Tani is a former fattie, who weighed over 220lbs. She has currently lost over 70lbs. One day she realized that people would rather hear dieting advice from someone who’s "been there, done that" than a boring old doctor who’s never been fat a day in his life. So she started the website Better Off Fat to share her experiences and ideas.

Just cut your normal food intake in 1/2. You’ll lose weight and keep it off.

Maybe I’m misreading this, but if your eating, your not fasting, and if your doing it to reduce weight, then it’s called dieting. It’s not as complicated as people want to make it. Make working out a habit first, you do that by keeping it simple and enjoyable, get past this part, and you half way home! Cardio is good to get your body geared up for bodybuilding, which is THE greatest! You burn calories while your doing the exercise just like you would with cardio, but then you continue to burn calories, repairing and adding muscle, and muscle burns 24/7 just to keep alive. It gives you everything, on top of the sleep and digestive benefits of exercising, your energy and strength, will be great assests in life, no matter what your goals are, it’s the way to go, and don’t go getting crazy with the diet, stay sensible, same reason as before, if you make it too hard, you’ll want to quit, and the body is a little more complicated then a simple math equation, so just eat decent, it’s pretty effective on it’s own, if just given half the chance ( look at all the junk people eat, that they aren’t dropping dead like flies, shows the body makes the best of things, it’s not as picky as many diets paint it out to be),it will go with the flow, again given half the chance.
