5 pounds a month is indeed a healthy rate. Losing weight at 5 pounds a month is not contradictory at all to living a healthy lifestyle.
That implies 60 pounds a year.
Your math is better than mine in the op! lol
If people are taking a decade to lose weight
which I never said
, that implies they were like 700+ pounds. I've read of such cases, but they certainly aren't common. So either you don't think losing 5 pounds a month is healthy, and that people only should be losing 5 pounds a year or something, or people do in fact lose faster than they gain, except for the exceptional cases gaining say 150+ in 3-5 years.
I think you're arguing now just for the sake of arguing. Have a great day!
