How Long Does It Take to Lose 50 Pounds?

Losing 50 pounds (23 kg) takes approximately 46–23 weeks depending on your rate of loss. At the safe rate of 1–2 lbs per week (0.5–1 kg/week), plan for 11–5 months. Each pound of fat contains roughly 3,500 calories, so a daily deficit of 500 kcal burns about 1 lb per week; 1,000 kcal/day burns about 2 lbs per week. Sustainable weight loss combines moderate calorie reduction with regular exercise.
