8-10lbs is a reasonable and safe amount of weight to lose in a month.
losing it too quickly might cause serious effects.
also you will gain it back as quickly as you lost it.
First of all, congratulations! The longer it takes to lose the weight, the longer it will take to put back on. A healthy thing to aim for is 1-2 pounds a week, anything more than that is unhealthy. But if you are happy with your diet right now STICK WITH IT! because it’s working perfectly!
your doing just fine, keep going and give it your all when you hit 3 months you’ll be loosing 7-10lbs.
5-8lbs is healthy hun. If you lost 1lbs a week you’d lose 8lbs. An average of 1-2lbs a week is a healthy way to lose.
If you were in Weight Watchers, you’d expect to lose a pound a week, at least, and up to two pounds would be a safe rate. Sounds like you need to do something to step up your weight loss — are you journaling everything you put in your mouth? Keeping track of EVERYTHING, every single little bite of whatever, ensures you aren’t eating a bunch of calories mindlessly that you aren’t including in your daily total.
Congratulations. Slow and steady is the way to go. You can evaluate your efforts every months an see where you need to cut back or add more time.
If your goal is to lose more weight and you seem to have reached a plateau then you need to exercise more to have your body burning up the fat.
1 kg aweek is very reasonable and not affect your health
The Best Way to Lose Weight
According to the British Nutrition Foundation “To lose weight, the energy intake from food must be less than the energy output”. This is why calorie counting is the most effective weight loss method. It goes straight to the heart of the problem – no fad diets, pills or special eating plans are necessary.
Losing weight through calorie counting is relatively easy. You won’t have to put normal life on hold while calorie counting. Added benefits are that calorie counting raises your awareness of what your body needs; educates you about what’s in what you eat, and helps you learn how to eat healthily for life.
Starting to Calorie Count
First you’ll need to work out how many calories you need each day to maintain your current weight, and how many to lose weight at a rate of 1-2lbs a week.
Next you need to keep track of how many calories are in the foods and drinks you consume each day, to make sure you have a negative calorie balance.
You can do this by keeping a food diary and checking the calorie content of what you eat.
The link below will help you count calories in food and drinks that are regularly eaten.
