Weight Loss Questions

What is a healthy rate of weight loss?

Around 0.25–0.5 kg per week for most people. Faster rates often cost muscle and rebound — slow loss is what stays off.

Do I need to count calories to lose weight?

Not necessarily. Regular protein-rich meals, daily walking, sensible portions and weekly weigh-ins work for many people without tracking.

How important is exercise for weight loss?

Food drives most of the deficit, but strength training preserves muscle and daily movement protects maintenance. Both beat either alone.

Why am I not losing weight?

Common causes: portions creeping up, less daily movement than estimated, poor sleep raising hunger, or simply too short a timeline — assess 3–4 week trends.

Does sleep affect weight loss?

Yes. Short sleep raises hunger hormones and cravings the next day, making any eating plan harder to follow.
