What’s a healthy weight
loss per week to shoot for
when dieting?
In general, the more
weight you have to lose,
the more pounds per
week you should look to
drop.
If you have 50 or more
pounds to lose, try to
make consistent progress
of two to three pounds
per week.
You need to give yourself
time to adjust to a
lifestyle change.
Learn to enjoy the
process and don’t worry
too much about the end
result.
If you are 10 to 20 pounds
overweight,
shoot
for
about a pound of weight
loss per week.
Someone with an extra 10
pounds or so will face
some resistance from
their body when trying to
lose too much weight too
quickly.
Sure it might take them a
few months to get to their
goal, but it will be a
much more enjoyable
process.
People with only a few
pounds to lose must be
very patient.
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.
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.
People with only a few
pounds to lose should
shoot for one to two
pounds of weight loss
per month.

How to Set a Healthy Weight Loss Goal

  • 1. What’s a healthy weight loss per week to shoot for when dieting?
  • 2. In general, the more weight you have to lose, the more pounds per week you should look to drop.
  • 3. If you have 50 or more pounds to lose, try to make consistent progress of two to three pounds per week.
  • 4. You need to give yourself time to adjust to a lifestyle change.
  • 5. Learn to enjoy the process and don’t worry too much about the end result.
  • 6. If you are 10 to 20 pounds overweight, shoot for about a pound of weight loss per week.
  • 7. Someone with an extra 10 pounds or so will face some resistance from their body when trying to lose too much weight too quickly.
  • 8. Sure it might take them a few months to get to their goal, but it will be a much more enjoyable process.
  • 9. People with only a few pounds to lose must be very patient.
  • 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.

Editor's Notes

  1. Hey everyone. Thanks for checking out Fitness Analogies. In this video, I’ll address the question...The answer is that depends on your situation.
  2. 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.
  3. 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?
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. This will occur in the form of metabolic slowdown, hormonal shifts and lack of energy.
  7. The best bet for someone in this range is to target a modest deficit that will result in about a pound per week.
  8. So all those problems I mentioned earlier with the metabolism and hormonal shifts will be magnified even further.
  9. If you enjoyed this video, please write a comment and subscribe for more fitness analogies at fitnessanalogies.com. And if you’re curious about how healthy weight loss per week relates to shaving strokes off your golf game, click on the link below and read the analogy. Thanks for watching.
