Pace picks the plan
Half a kilogram weekly needs a ~550 kcal daily deficit; doubling the pace doubles the deficit and the difficulty. Slower paces preserve muscle and sanity — research on maintenance favors the tortoise, especially for the final few kilograms.
Expect a bent curve
The first weeks flatter (water and glycogen), plateaus punctuate the middle, and maintenance calories shrink as you do. The timeline here is a straight-line planning tool — hitting it within a few weeks either side is success.
