What is safe weight loss rate?
I'm planning to start a weight loss journey, and I want to do it in a healthy and sustainable way. I've heard that losing weight too fast can be bad. What is considered a safe weight loss rate per week or month?

With my PCOS, losing even half a kilo a week feels like a massive victory. Honestly, the standard safe rate is around 0.5 to 1 kg per week. Don't rush it because fast weight loss can mess up your hormones even more.

Aiming for 2 to 3 kgs a month is highly realistic and sustainable if you have a busy office routine. Crash dieting will only crash your energy levels during meetings. Just focus on a consistent calorie deficit and daily walking.

At my age, I have realized that slow and steady is the only way that actually stays. If you lose weight too quickly, it all comes back the moment you stop dieting. Focus on eating clean home-cooked food and let your body adapt slowly.

When my doctor told me to reduce weight for my high blood pressure, he strictly warned against rapid weight loss. He said losing about half a kg a week through simple diet changes and regular walking is safest for the heart. Get your BP and thyroid checked before starting any heavy routine.
