2. Understanding Weight Loss
Weight loss occurs when you burn more calories than you consume. This is called a calorie deficit. Several factors influence this process, including:
Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)
Physical activity
Diet composition
Sleep and stress levels
A healthy and realistic goal is to lose 0.5 to 1 kg (1 to 2 lbs) per week.
3. The Role of Diet and Nutrition
Your diet is a critical component of weight loss. Here are the key principles:
Eat more whole foods: fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, whole grains
Reduce processed foods: sugary snacks, fried items, fast food
Control portions: use smaller plates, avoid second servings
Stay hydrated: drink 2–3 liters of water daily
Limit sugar and refined carbs
Tips:
Track your meals using a food diary or app
Prepare meals at home to control ingredients
4. Exercise and Fitness Plans
Exercise helps burn calories, builds muscle, and boosts metabolism.
Types of Exercise:
Cardio: walking, running, cycling, swimming (30–60 min, 3–5 times/week)
Strength training: weight lifting, resistance bands (2–3 times/week)
Flexibility and balance: yoga, stretching
Start slow and gradually increase intensity.
