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.
