Understanding Weight Loss Percentage

Weight loss percentage is a valuable metric that helps you track your progress independently of your starting weight. It provides a standardized way to measure weight loss progress and can be more meaningful than absolute weight loss numbers.

Why Track Weight Loss Percentage?

  • • Provides a relative measure of progress
  • • Helps set realistic goals
  • • Makes it easier to compare progress with others

Healthy Weight Loss Guidelines

A healthy weight loss rate is typically 1-2 pounds (0.45-0.9 kg) per week, or about 1% of your body weight per week. Rapid weight loss can be unsafe and often leads to regaining the weight.
