What is a safe amount of weight to lose in 1 week?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on weight: If a person weighs 400 pounds. Ten pounds is only 2.5 percent of his/her body weight. A person who weight 100 pounds, ten pounds would be ten percent of his /her weight. Ideally, one should not lose more than about 5 percent of one's body weight in a week.
