Hereâs what you can realistically expect to lose if youâre just starting a weight loss plan: The more weight you have to lose, the more you will initially lose. If you are 100 pounds overweight, youâll probably lose up to 20 pounds in your first month. This is simply because you have more bodyweight to lose. That and youâre going to lose a lot of water weight. But if you are already pretty lean and have 10 pounds to lose, you might only lose 1-2 pounds in a month. Most people will lose 1-2 pounds per week. Note how I said just said âpounds.â. This isnât pure body fat. The first week you will more lose more water, then it tapers off to 1-2 pounds per week.
To lose 15 pounds of fat in two months, you must have a caloric differential of 7,000 calories per week. If we assume that half the calories can be lost through increased exercise, 3,500 calories must be lost through eating less. This means a reduction of 500 calories per day.
