Understanding Weight Loss Percentage

Weight loss percentage is a valuable metric that helps you track your progress more accurately than absolute weight loss. It takes into account your starting weight, making it easier to set realistic goals and compare progress between different individuals.

How It's Calculated

The formula used is:

Weight Loss % = ((Initial Weight - Current Weight) / Initial Weight) × 100

Healthy Weight Loss Guidelines

  • • Aim for 1-2 pounds (0.45-0.9 kg) per week
  • • A safe goal is 5-10% of initial body weight
  • • Consult healthcare providers for personalized advice
