Question

What does "dropping 5% of your total pounds" mean? Is it losing 50 pounds?

Answer 1

5% equates to 1/20th of your total body weight. Multiply your total body weight by 20 to arrive at the weight you must lose.

Answer 2

5% would be multiplying your total weight by .05

So say you're 150 pounds...

Lose 7.5 pounds.

(5% of 100 is 5)
