Jakarta, CNN Indonesia —
Go down body weight it is very important for those who are diet. But how much weight is normal per month to lose, especially while on a diet?
Losing weight sustainably requires motivation, patience and time which is not easy. That’s why, quite a few people end up giving up because they feel like the scales haven’t changed.
Even so, according to the Times of India, losing weight quickly is also not a good thing. Moreover, when you lose weight quickly, for example 10 kilograms in one month, you may not be able to maintain it.
Remember, when you diet and lose weight quickly it could be that your diet is unhealthy and unbalanced. So, how much weight is normal per month?
According to Eatingwell, losing weight also depends on each individual. Usually people with larger bodies can lose more at the start, because they have more weight.
Founder of Sarah Gold Nutrition, Sarah Gold Anzlovar said that in general one to two pounds or half to one kilogram per week is a normal amount. That means 3.6 kilograms per month is still very safe in terms of weight loss.
“Some people may lose more than that in the beginning. But often all that happens is a lot of water and not actual fat loss,” he says.
Body weight fluctuations are more complex than calories in and calories out. Consider that 2 glasses of water weigh about 1 pound, and most people lose weight just by going to the bathroom.
Muscle, fat, bone, water, tissue, organs, and whatever else is in the digestive tract make up your total weight. The number on the scale can’t tell you whether the weight you’re losing is water, muscle, or fat.
Crash diets can help you lose weight quickly, but you may lose muscle mass and fluids, which is not ideal and can ultimately harm your metabolism.
Therefore, it is very important to pay attention to how much weight it is normal to lose per month. Don’t overdo it because it’s not healthy for your body.
