Weight loss is a complex process influenced by many biological and lifestyle factors. Experts emphasize that the healthiest and most sustainable pace is gradual, not rapid.
The main factors influencing weight loss
Age. As you age, your body loses muscle mass and gains fat, lowering your basal metabolic rate—the calories you burn at rest. In people over 70, this metabolism can be up to 25% lower than in younger people.
Genetics. Some genes affect feelings of hunger, satiety, and the way the body uses energy, making it easier or more difficult to gain or lose weight.
Sex Women typically have a higher percentage of body fat and less muscle than men, which reduces the calories they burn at rest by up to 10% less for the same body height.
Starting weight. People with more weight to lose often lose weight faster at first because they create a larger calorie deficit. However, the pace slows down as they get closer to their goal weight.
Food quality. Diets based on whole foods—fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, and lean proteins—help more than processed foods.
Other factors. Poor sleep, stress, hormones, and the gut microbiome affect both appetite and how the body burns or stores calories.
What is the best diet?
There is no one-size-fits-all diet. The most effective method is one that creates long-term healthy habits without drastic measures. Fad diets are often not sustainable and can be detrimental to health.
Also, body weight does not decrease linearly. It can vary from day to day due to water, muscle mass, or other factors.
Safe weight loss pace
Experts recommend losing about 0.5–1 kilogram per week. This rate increases the likelihood that the pounds lost will be mostly fat and that the weight will not come back.
Even a modest loss of 5–10% of body weight can significantly improve health, by lowering blood pressure, cholesterol, and sugar levels.
The dangers of very strict diets
Very low-calorie diets (600–700 calories per day) are used only under medical supervision and for short periods. They can cause:
fatigue
constipation or diarrhea mixed
nutritional deficiencies gallstones risk of eating disorders
When the body receives too little energy, it can slow down its metabolism and "store" calories, making weight loss even more difficult.
