Weight Management Support
The weight loss prediction on this website is based on the Body Weight Planner developed by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The tool considers individual characteristics and estimates potential weight changes under a calorie-deficit diet combined with increased physical activity.
Please note: this prediction is an informational estimate only. It is not a guarantee of actual results and should not replace professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. By using this tool, you acknowledge that weight loss outcomes vary and should be discussed with a qualified healthcare provider.
