Achieving Dream Weight - the process

When will I achieve my dream weight? 

A question I hear every single day and my answer is simple - It depends on how long it took you to gain that weight.

Let’s say you're 40 today. It took you 20 years of adult life to gain 50 to 70 kgs. It will take at least 2 years to lose it the right way.

- Not with crash diets.
- Not with 30-day detoxes.

But with science-backed, body-respecting methods. Here’s how weight loss actually works:

Year 1: Clean eating + some intermittent fasting + moderate exercise
 Results? First 15–20 kgs lost.

Year 2+: This is where it gets real. Your body fights back. Non-linear progress. Plateaus.

 Why? A 150 kg body has more muscle mass than a 100 kg body. And the body isn’t ready to lose that muscle easily.

That’s when you need to go deeper
 → More structured fasting
 → Higher protein intake (often via protein shakes)
 → Targeted supplementation
 → And patience

Because this phase isn’t linear. It takes commitment, consistency and the right guidance.

Goal is to help your body feel safe enough to change through medical guidance and respect for your physiology. Because sustainable weight loss doesn’t happen at the gym. It happens when your body feels safe to change.

P.S. Do you believe weight loss should be body-first or goal-first?
