What Is Healthy Weight Loss?
With all the adverts about losing 30 pounds of weight in a matter of weeks, is it really healthy weight loss if it's this quick?
Healthy weight loss means it should be coming from as much fat loss as possible. Now it is highly unlikely that anyone can lose 30 pounds of pure, stored body fat within a few weeks. So we want to focus on a more realistic target. It will depend on how much you need to lose but generally you'll want to set a goal for a percentage of weight loss.
Some experts believe that a healthy weight loss would be around 10 percent of your body weight over a six month period. So if you weigh 200 pounds, you should be looking at losing 20 pounds. Or breaking it down means 3-4 pounds each month!
This way there's more chance the majority of the loss will be from fat storage and less from water. It will also mean that the loss will be more sustainable and last longer term.
