Why aim for 10% body weight loss?

Clinically Significant:
Reduces risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, type 2 diabetes, arthritis, sleep apnea, and depression.
Targets visceral fat (fat around organs), which is most harmful and typically lost first.
Losing 10% body weight often results in ~30% reduction of abdominal fat—a major health milestone.
Realistic & Achievable:
Supported by studies as an attainable goal for most people, especially when combining GLP-1 medications with lifestyle changes.
Avoids "false hope syndrome" associated with unrealistic goals.
Calibrate’s program targets at least 10% weight loss in the first 6 months.
Sustainable:
Achievable through enjoyable, non-restrictive lifestyle adjustments.
Changes biology in a way that supports long-term weight maintenance.
