About

Hi, I’m Dirk — a journalist, researcher, and the creator of Weightloss-Calc.com. For more than two decades, I’ve written about science, technology, and health. Facts and evidence have always been my tools. But when it came to my own weight, I learned that numbers alone don’t tell the whole story.

A few years ago, I decided to test what really works. Over the course of twelve months, I lost about 35 kilograms — not with one “miracle” method, but through relentless trial, error, and curiosity. I’ve tried nearly every approach you’ve ever heard of (and some you probably haven’t): Keto, Low Carb, Gluten-free, Dairy-free, Intermittent Fasting, and even a four-day water fast that took five kilograms off me… only for them to come back just as quickly.

That experience taught me what most diets don’t: sustainable weight loss is less about labels and more about understanding how your body actually works. That’s why I built Weightloss-Calc.com — a simple, evidence-based tool designed to help you calculate your needs and make sense of your numbers.

Here, you won’t find promises. You’ll find facts, data, and a bit of hard-earned wisdom from someone who’s been through the ups and downs — literally.

If you want to understand your metabolism, stay curious, and make progress that lasts, you’re in the right place.
