What is the ideal weight loss for a month?

  • If you want to lose weight, you would probably love to do it as quickly as possible.
  • Doctors say the safe weight loss pace is around 0.25-0.5 kg (0.55-1.1 lb) per week.
  • That means ideally, you should lose no more than 1-2 kg (2.2-4.4 lb) per month.
  • But a slow, steady weight loss pace is the best way to lose weight without stress - and lose it permanently. Because you wouldn’t like the pound to get back to you
