How much weight will I lose?
The amount of weight you might lose varies based on several factors, but on average, clients of MWLCOA LLC often see a reduction of about 5% in their starting weight. Over a period of 12 weeks, this percentage can increase up to 10%. For someone who weighs 200 pounds, this translates to a loss of approximately 10-20 pounds.

Generally, a healthy rate of weight loss is considered to be in the range of 1-2 pounds per week. It’s important to note that excessively rapid weight loss is not advised from a medical standpoint.
