Weight Loss Timeframe Estimator

Find out exactly how many weeks it will take to reach your goal weight based on your target loss rate.

Weight loss is rarely perfectly linear. This provides an average projection based on consistent caloric deficit.

How This is Calculated

Weeks required = weight to lose (kg) ÷ weekly loss rate (kg/week). A 500 kcal/day deficit ≈ 0.5 kg/week; 1,000 kcal/day deficit ≈ 1.0 kg/week. The CDC recommends a gradual weight loss of 0.5–1.0 kg/week as safe and sustainable. Actual loss is non-linear due to metabolic adaptation.
