NOTE

Expect Gradual Progress in Weight Loss

Weight loss expectations vary significantly based on individual body composition. Obese individuals often experience higher initial weight loss rates, while individuals of normal weight may lose around one pound weekly, and lean individuals might only see a loss of 0.25 to 0.5 pounds weekly. Many people fail to recognize effective progress because their expectations are shaped by unrealistic media portrayals. Understanding that weight loss slows as one becomes leaner is crucial; it's a natural process of diminishing returns. Acknowledging this gradual progress is essential for maintaining motivation and recognizing successful body transformation.
