Important Disclaimer
While our weight loss calculator provides scientifically-based estimates, individual results may vary. Factors such as genetics, medical conditions, medications, and metabolic efficiency can affect your actual results. Always consult with healthcare professionals before starting any weight loss program, especially if you have underlying health conditions or are taking medications.
Remember that sustainable weight loss is a gradual process that requires patience, consistency, and lifestyle changes. Focus on building healthy habits rather than just reaching a number on the scale for long-term success.
