A few reasons why it could be bad - First off, Stacker 2 can be bad news for you and your heart. No amount of weight loss is worth damaging your cardiac muscle.
Another thing is instead of eating 3 meals of differing sizes, try 6 meals a day of the same size. so say you're looking to do 1800 calories a day to lose weight. 1800/6=300 calories a meal. It sounds tough, but you get used to it.
Losing weight too quickly, a 6 pounds a week is that, can and will cause the body to "rebound" so to speak for this reason: you're simply not meant to lose that quickly. your body will think something is wrong and work to put the weight back.
I know it's boring, but the only tried and true way to lose is weight and proper, controlled diet. :grin:
