How Much Weight Can Be Lost Each Week?

1% Percent Weight Loss Program

1-percent weight loss with a set of scalesPeople often ask, ‘How much weight can I expect to lose each week?’ I reckon 1% of your body weight sounds about right.

I’ve seen people on the Biggest Looser lose huge amounts of weight in the initial weeks, so I guess the heavier you are (say 140Kg) , even though you need to lose a bit more weight each week than someone who weighs, say 70Kg, it’s an achievable target.

You know how to do it.

For starters, exercise more. Do something before each meal. Say to yourself, ‘Don’t exercise, don’t eat.’ It could be something with real vigor or something as useful as a 20 minute walk.

At the same time start eating from the top of the Hourglass. If you eat protein (meat, fish, chicken) with vegetables for every meal, and every day have several glasses of vegetables and fruit that you juiced yourself, after a couple of weeks you’ll have retrained yourself how to eat wisely and given your weight loss program a real kick-start.

Sure it will take a bit of discipline but I know you’ve got the discipline to lose 1% of your weight each week for 12 weeks. It gets easier with every week.

The things to lay off are flour and sugar, the garbohydrates – bread, pasta, cake, biscuits, chocolate, ice cream … You won’t die by eliminating these foods from your diet. What will happen is you’ll lose weight, you’ll have less headaches, your blood pressure may come down, you’ll have more energy and it won’t feel like your trousers are ring-barking you.

As they say, ‘Nothing tastes as good a thing feels.’

Below is a set of 1% weight loss targets. The sample program goes for 12 weeks or to whenever you reach your target weight.
