Everyone loses fat from different parts of their bodies at different rates.
It is important to know that targeted fat loss (often referred to as spot reduction) is not possible and everyone loses fat from different parts of their bodies at different rates.
If you are curious about how long it might take to lose an inch and subsequently reduce one (1) dress or pant size, here are some guidelines:
- It is estimated that you’ll reduce 1 dress/pant size for every 10-15 pounds of weight loss.
- At a healthy weight loss of 1-2 lbs per week, this would mean you should expect to lose that amount of weight in 5-10 weeks.
Waist circumference is one of the most important measurements for your health.
This is because fat accumulation around your midsection is tied to chronic disease, and by losing inches around your waist, you can reduce your risk of diseases like type 2 diabetes and heart disease.
According to science, waist circumference measurements should ideally be less than 102 cm (40 inches) for men and less than 88 cm (35 inches) for women.
