What’s a healthy weight loss per week to shoot for? That depends on your situation. In general, the more weight you have to lose, the more pounds per week you should look to drop.
10. This is the point where the
body will put up the most
resistance. It wants to
hold on to those few
remaining body fat stores
at all costs.
11. The good news is, you
can avoid this by cycling
a couple weeks of a very
small calorie deficit with
a couple weeks of
eating at maintenance
and inch your way there.
12. People with only a few
pounds to lose should
shoot for one to two
pounds of weight loss
per month.
Hey everyone. Thanks for checking out Fitness Analogies. In this video, I’ll address the question...The answer is that depends on your situation.
Don’t worry about your end goal. The more weight you have to lose, the easier the weight comes off in the beginning. Don’t try to force 10 or more pounds per week.
This is the most important thing. What good is losing 10 pounds if you’re just going to give up after a week and gain it all back?
You’ll actually see better results if you do it this way. Two to three pounds per week over the course of a few months is a significant change.
This is a healthy target for this range. Someone who is grossly overweight will respond better to a large calorie deficit because it’s natural for their body to want to lose a lot of weight quickly.
This will occur in the form of metabolic slowdown, hormonal shifts and lack of energy.
The best bet for someone in this range is to target a modest deficit that will result in about a pound per week.
So all those problems I mentioned earlier with the metabolism and hormonal shifts will be magnified even further.
