If you have more fancy devices for,
guesstimating body fat percent like the InBody or Dexa, Bod Pod, any number of these devices, then that gives you a little bigger picture than what the scale is saying.
But let's imagine that somebody just, you know, they don't want to wrap tape around themselves and they don't have necessarily access or they don't want to go over to get their body comp done at some facility.
Well, then you would want to limit your weekly weight loss to I'd say a maximum of 1% of your total body weight per week at max.
So if you lose more than that, then there's this tendency that you're sacrificing too much lean mass while you're losing fat mass.
And so that would be the other sort of simple thing.
We got the sleep, we got the rate of weight loss.
You want to limit it to half a percent
to a full percent.
And really the one pound per week benchmark is fair.
It's fair and it's realistic.
Now with that said, I don't think people should be discouraged if they're losing even half of that.
So if you're losing half a pound a week,
two pounds a month, heck that's still 24 or 25 pounds in a year.
And most people have spent the last 10, 20 years putting on that 25 pounds.
And so people have to have these realistic expectations of weight loss.
So I would say half a pound to a pound a week is a good rate of expectation.
If you lose more than that, then that's a bonus.
And then finally, from just a sort of a programming standpoint, okay, we got the sleep, we got the rate of weight loss, and we've got protein.
Most of the focus that my colleagues and I have been on research-wise has been on protein.
