Where:
Explanation: This linear projection assumes consistent weekly weight loss, though actual results may vary.
Details: The NHS recommends gradual weight loss of 0.5kg to 1kg (1lb to 2lb) per week for sustainable results. Rapid weight loss can be unhealthy and difficult to maintain.
Tips: Enter the number of weeks for your weight loss plan and your expected weekly weight loss in kg. Both values must be positive numbers.
Q1: What's a realistic weekly weight loss goal?
A: 0.5-1kg per week is considered safe and sustainable by health professionals.
Q2: Why does weight loss slow down over time?
A: As you lose weight, your body requires fewer calories, creating a smaller deficit unless you adjust diet/exercise.
Q3: Is it safe to lose weight faster than 1kg per week?
A: Rapid weight loss (>1kg/week) may lead to muscle loss, nutritional deficiencies, and gallstones. Consult a doctor first.
Q4: How accurate is this calculator?
A: It provides a linear projection. Actual results depend on consistency, metabolism, and other individual factors.
Q5: What's the best way to track weight loss?
A: Weigh yourself at the same time each week, under similar conditions, and look at trends rather than daily fluctuations.
