Frequently Asked Questions

What is a healthy BMI target for Indians?

For Indians and Asians, a BMI between 18.5 and 22.9 is considered healthy. We use 22 as the default target, which is in the middle of the healthy range and provides a good balance between health and sustainability.

How are the timelines calculated?

Timelines are based on safe weight loss rates: Aggressive (1 kg/week), Moderate (0.5 kg/week), and Safe (0.25 kg/week). Each rate requires a different daily calorie deficit: 1100, 550, and 275 calories respectively.

Which timeline should I choose?

For most people, the moderate timeline (0.5 kg/week) is sustainable and minimizes muscle loss. Aggressive timelines may lead to more muscle loss and are harder to maintain. Safe timelines are best for those with less weight to lose or who prefer gradual changes.

Can I adjust the target BMI?

Yes! You can adjust the target BMI based on your personal goals. Some people aim for the lower end of healthy (BMI 20) while others prefer the upper end (BMI 22.9). The calculator will update your goal weight and timelines accordingly.
