Why does losing more than 5% of your body weight have key health benefits? The reason is that to improve metabolic disease, for example, type 2 diabetes or blood pressure, only need to lose a small amount of your body weight. So for example, a 5% weight loss in your body weight will really help your sugar management if you're a diabetic or your blood pressure if you suffer from high blood pressure. Other conditions, for example, if you have knee pain from arthritis, require greater amounts of weight loss. But for metabolic conditions, small amounts of weight loss will lead to big improvements in the disease.
