Why is the weight loss goal 10%? What if I want to lose more weight?
Our Metabolic Reset is based on clinical research showing that 10% is the amount of weight you can lose and keep off with the combination of an FDA-approved metabolic medication and accountability coaching. 10% is the goal because it leads to clinically-significant improvements across all metabolic and inflammatory markers.
However, Calibrate members lose on average 15% of their body weight, as evidenced by our clinically-reviewed Results Report.
10% body weight loss has been shown to lower several risk factors for cardiovascular disease including high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes. A body weight loss of 10% has also been proven to reduce symptoms of depression, arthritis, and sleep apnea, while improving overall quality of life. Further, studies have found that losing 10% of your body weight is generally a realistic and attainable goal for most people given biological, genetic, and environmental factors.
