Professional Health Tips
Aim for 1-2 pounds per week through combination of diet and exercise. Rapid weight loss can be harmful and unsustainable.
Focus on building lean muscle mass while losing fat. Muscle tissue burns 3x more calories than fat tissue at rest.
Strength training 2-3x per week can increase metabolic rate by 7-8%, burning an extra 100-150 calories daily.

Evidence-Based Weight Management
Caloric Deficit Strategy
Create a 500-750 calorie daily deficit through diet and exercise to lose 1-1.5 lbs per week safely. This equals 52-78 lbs per year.
Protein Requirements
Consume 0.8-1.2g protein per kg body weight daily. Higher protein (25-30% of calories) preserves muscle during weight loss.
Exercise Recommendations
Combine 150 min moderate cardio + 2 strength sessions weekly. This burns 300-500 extra calories daily and boosts metabolism.
Hydration Impact
Drink 16oz water before meals to increase satiety by 44% and boost metabolism by 24-30% for 1-1.5 hours.
