The percent of weight loss is 5 to 10 percent. It is enough body weight to reduce health risks and increase life expectances in obese individuals. The good news is that no matter what your weight loss goal is, even a modest weight loss, such as 5 to 10 percent of your total body weight, is likely to produce health benefits, such as improvements in blood pressure, blood cholesterol, and blood sugars.
