Question of Fitness #1: Body Fat Loss

Question:  How much body fat percentage points can people lose in a month if they are trying to lose fat?

Answer:  In most cases 2-3%/month can be lost if the person's initial body fat percent is in the normal levels (15-20% for men or 25-30% for women).  However, if a person has a higher starting percent (Over 20% for men or 30% for women) 4-5% can be lost in a month.  Finally there are cases where a person can lose 1-2%/week if they are on a specific training/nutrition/supplementation program and really dialed in.
