What’s the difference between goal weight vs. best weight?

A goal weight is a target number that a person aims to reach. On the other hand, best weight is the weight that a person can achieve and maintain while living their healthiest life. Weight management is complex because of the many factors, including biological and lifestyle factors, that influence our body size and energy needs. This is why attaining a goal weight can frequently be unrealistic. Often, our body naturally determines the weight it is healthiest at based on these factors, i.e. genetics, hormones, metabolism, sleep, health conditions, lifestyle and more. Focusing on reaching your best weight shifts the emphasis toward building sustainable habits that prioritize long-term health and overall wellbeing.
