Losing weight quickly can be especially appealing. However, at Nairobi Fitness Consulting, we emphasize safe, sustainable weight loss to protect your health. On average, you can safely lose 2 to 4 kilos per month, depending on your body type, activity level, and metabolism.

But weight loss isn’t just about numbers on the scale. At our Obesity Treatment Centre and Human Performance Institute, we focus on body fat percentage rather than relying on the flawed BMI. While BMI simply calculates weight in relation to height, it fails to capture important distinctions like muscle mass and fat distribution. A person can have a “normal” BMI but still carry excess visceral fat, which leads to serious conditions like metabolic syndrome and even cancers. This underscores why assessing body fat percentage and body composition is more effective than focusing on weight alone.
Understanding Obesity and Metabolic Health
Obesity is not just about excess weight—it’s a chronic disease that leads to a cascade of metabolic dysfunctions:
- Insulin Resistance: Excess fat, particularly visceral fat, interferes with insulin’s ability to regulate blood sugar. Over time, this can lead to type 2 diabetes.
- Leptin Resistance: Leptin, a hormone that controls hunger and energy balance, becomes less effective as body fat increases. This leads to overeating and further weight gain.
- Adipose Tissue Dysfunction: When fat cells (adipocytes) become overloaded, they release harmful substances that cause inflammation, setting the stage for heart disease, cancer, and chronic illnesses.
At Nairobi Fitness Consulting, we specialize in addressing these underlying issues with a focus on body recomposition, targeting fat loss while preserving lean muscle mass.
Actionable Steps to Start Today
If you’re looking to jumpstart your weight loss, here are a few science-backed steps to begin today:
- Track Your Calories: Use apps or tools to track your calorie intake, making sure to create a moderate calorie deficit (500–1,000 calories daily) for safe weight loss.
- Strength Training and Cardio: Combine resistance training with cardiovascular exercises to boost metabolism, reduce fat, and improve muscle tone. You can work with us through our Exercise Therapy program for personalized guidance.
- Prioritize Protein: Eating a diet high in protein helps maintain muscle mass and reduces hunger. We offer Precision Nutrition to help you balance macronutrients and meet your health goals.
- Reduce Processed Carbs and Sugars: Cutting down on refined sugars and processed carbs stabilizes blood sugar levels and accelerates fat loss.
- Get Quality Sleep: Poor sleep leads to hormonal imbalances that promote weight gain. Aim for at least 7 hours of quality sleep each night.
For years, BMI has been used as the standard measurement for assessing whether a person is overweight or obese. However, BMI has several limitations. It doesn’t account for muscle mass, bone density, or fat distribution. A person with a high BMI could be muscular and healthy, while someone with a “normal” BMI might have high levels of visceral fat, placing them at greater risk for chronic diseases.
At Nairobi Fitness Consulting, we offer advanced body composition analysis to measure body fat percentage and muscle mass. This allows us to develop tailored programs that focus on body recomposition, helping you lose fat and gain muscle without fixating solely on the number on the scale.
