How much weight can (and should) you lose per week?

What’s a “safe” number for someone to lose weight?

Is it 1 pound per week?… 5 pounds per week?… or maybe 10?

Well, while it’s hard to give an answer that’s not cookie-cutter, I can tell you this.

You can set up the rate at how much weight you can lose per week.

How aggressive you do it and how much you will lose will be based on your situation, but…

you could make sure that most of that weight is from fat (rather than muscle or only water).

Let me give you an example.

The last time I tried to lose weight, I lost 30 pounds in total.

But in order to lose those 30 pounds, I did not do it in 12 weeks or even 16.

I decided to lose 10 pounds in 12 weeks.

This means that I was losing about 1 pound per week.

Now, I started that process with 181 pounds, which was about a rate of 0.6% of my total weight to how much weight I planned to lose.

The end result?

After 12 weeks, I ended up going from 181 pounds to 167 pounds — that’s 14 pounds.

So of course, that was a little bit more than 1 pound per week…

but that doesn’t matter.

Here’s what really matters:

1. The weight I lost I haven’t gained it back (and won’t gain it back) — in fact, right now I’m at 153 pounds.
2. I made sure that by losing ~1 pound per week that the weight I lost was mostly fat, not muscle.

But what if you have more weight to lose?

Well, you could lose up to 1% of your total weight per week.

That’s a “safe” number to know that you will be losing some weight and see some significant changes while still not going crazy and sacrificing muscle in the process.

This means that if someone is weighing about 180 pounds (just like I did when I started) and wants to go as aggressive as it’s recommended, you’d be losing about 1.8 pounds per week.

So of course, you could be losing about 10 pounds in an entire month with this.

Just make sure that you have the building block of all diets in place when doing this, as otherwise it can also lead you to either not lose the weight you’re expecting or lose a lot of tissue that you want to keep.

This process is fairly straightforward, but it requires some guidance.

That’s why in my ebook “Fat Loss On Demand” I give all the process you need to do this along with a Cheatsheet (part of the 3 Bonuses I give) to make sure you have everything from the start.

If you want to stop going diet after diet and make your next diet the last one you’ll need, then you’re gonna want to get my ebook below:
