What is realistic for losing weight? That's a common question that really depends on the person. Realistic weight loss isn’t fast—it’s consistent.
A healthy pace is about 0.5–2 lbs. per week based on your overall starting weight. It will vary from week to week. What's important to remember is that you don’t need to be perfect to see results.
Focus on the essentials:
• Stay in an achievable calorie deficit
• Prioritize protein and whole foods
• Move your body regularly
• Sleep well
• Stay the course
Try not to rush and allow yourself to build habits you can actually stick to. Slow progress that lasts always beats fast results that don’t.
