Safe Weight Loss Guidelines
A safe rate of weight loss is 0.5 to 1 kg (1-2 lbs) per week. This requires a daily deficit of 500-1000 calories. Very low calorie diets (below 1200 for women or 1500 for men) should only be done under medical supervision. Losing weight too quickly can lead to muscle loss and nutritional deficiencies.
