Rate of loss
A rate of loss is the pace at which weight changes over weeks, usually stated in kilograms or pounds a week, and the pace public health services describe as sustainable is about half a kilogram to one kilogram a week. IZeat neither measures a rate of loss nor recommends one; it records the calories that drive it and shows, week by week, whether the target the customer chose was actually met.
The NHS and the CDC both publish a guide pace of roughly 0.5 to 1 kg a week, and a target set to reach it is the customer's to choose, with their assistant if they want the arithmetic. IZeat's contribution is the input side: the average per recorded day against the target, over the weeks the loss was supposed to happen, with the missing days counted.
People judge their pace on a bad week's scale reading and adjust the food in a panic; the record is what stops that. A four-week summary that shows the target met on twenty-four of twenty-eight days is a different conversation from one that shows fourteen. IZeat does not tell anyone to speed up or slow down; it gives them the facts the decision needs.
Put it into practice: Reading a period.
