Safe Weight Loss: How Much Can You Lose Per Week?

On average, a person can safely lose 1-2 pounds (0.5-1 kilogram) per week through a combination of diet and exercise. However, individual weight loss may vary and can be influenced by several factors such as starting weight, genetics, metabolism, diet adherence, and physical activity level. It's important to focus on gradual and sustainable weight loss rather than rapid weight loss, which can be unhealthy and difficult to maintain. Always consult with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian before starting any weight loss program.
