Weight loss planning
How Fast Can You Lose Weight
Weight loss speed depends on calorie deficit, starting weight, metabolism, and consistency. Faster is not always better if it reduces adherence.
Typical speed ranges
- Slow: 0.25 kg/week
- Moderate: 0.5 kg/week
- Aggressive: 0.75–1 kg/week
Tip
Consistency matters more than precision. A smaller, sustainable calorie deficit often produces better long-term results than aggressive dieting.
The speed vs sustainability tradeoff
The faster the plan, the harder it is to maintain. Slower approaches often produce better long-term results.
