Losing about 0.5 to 1 kg per week is considered healthy. My grandmother always advised that slow change is lasting, and my doctor also confirmed this is safe for the body's metabolism.

Actually, losing around 2 to 4 kgs in a month is the sweet spot, yaar. Anything faster than that is usually just water weight or muscle loss, which is not sustainable in the long run.

I understand how stressful it is when you want to see quick results and feel anxious about your progress. Healthy weight loss is quite slow—just about half a kilo to one kilo a week. Please be gentle with yourself.

I totally get it, we all want to lose weight quickly for special occasions, but steady progress is best. Losing 1 kg a week maximum keeps your energy levels high and doesn't strain your body. You are doing great, just keep going.

Losing 2-3 kgs a month through normal home-cooked meals is highly practical and cost-effective. You don't need expensive exotic diet foods or costly gym supplements to achieve a healthy weight loss rate.
