what’s a realistic weight goal?
Obesity experts in the United States agree and widely available research demonstrates that moderate weight loss is beneficial. It is important to emphasize the health benefits of a 5% to 10% weight loss and to change the perception of Americans who reject this as an insignificant amount. Achievable, realistic weight-loss goals of 5% to 10% can result in significant improvements in overall health, including decreased risk for heart disease. Slow, steady weight loss is the healthy way to reduce body fat mass. The alli program encourages the lifestyle changes that can help achieve realistic goals of improved health and weight-loss maintenance.
