The maximum weight loss per day is 1 pound. However, this requires a significant increase in physical activity and a drastic reduction in food intake. This is not a sustainable or healthy approach to weight loss.
For a safe and sustainable weight loss journey, aiming for 1 to 2 pounds per week is generally recommended. This translates to roughly 0.5–1 pound per day.
Remember: Losing weight too quickly can lead to several health risks, including muscle loss, nutrient deficiencies, and a higher risk of rebound weight gain.
Important Note: While you might see a larger weight loss on the scale due to water loss and other factors, this is not true fat loss. Focus on consistent and gradual weight loss for optimal health and long-term success.
