According to experts, it is best to lose at most 1-2 lbs per month in order not to compromise a healthy body.
Why is my friend losing weight faster than me?
Our body reacts differently to the same set of ‘command’. Therefore, you should never make comparison with what your friend has achieved. The most common reason for different result is because of the variation in our metabolism rate. People with higher metabolism rate tend to lose weight faster. You should be contented at least if you lose weight.

Usually, it is not advisable to take in fried food during the process of losing weight. However, if you know that you have been working hard and you can start to see result, having a bit of fried food occasionally wouldn’t harm. Treat it as a form of reward for your hard work but remember to control and discipline yourself.
What type of exercises should I be focusing on?
Generally, a mixture of cardio exercises and weight training is the most optimized set of workout you should aim towards.
