- Calculate your BMI and find out how much weight you need to reduce.
- Allot a few months to lose that weight by setting short term and realistic goals. You can lose an average of 2-3 kilos a month.
- Make slow and steady changes in your dietary habits. Do not reduce your calorie intake drastically. Replace high calorie and fattening foods with healthy and low-cal alternatives.
- Prepare yourself mentally that losing weight is a slow and steady process that would require a lot of patience from your side.
- Burning away the amount of calories you consume helps in weight loss. Change your lifestyle from sedentary to active.
- Count your calories. A moderately active person would need an average of 33 calories per kg of his/her body weight. Manage your calories accordingly.
- Start off with a diet with the calorific value of 33 calories multiplied by your body weight in kilograms.
- Slowly reduce the calorie intake by 300 and increase the exercise that can burn up to 200 calories per day. This will result in the loss of 400gms of weight in one week. That is about 1.5-2 kilograms per month.
- Keep reducing your calorie intake and increase your exercise to lose more weight.
- Plan your diet well. Include foods from all five food groups: milk, meat, fruit, vegetable and cereals.
- Cut down drastically on fried foods and sugary foods.
- Allow yourself a treat occasionally. Do not overeat in the process.
- Never skip your meals. Eat 3-6 smaller meals in a day to avoid getting hungry.
- Drink 2-3 liters of water every day.
- Exercise daily. Invest in a good personal trainer. If you cant then start walking, jogging or swimming. Remember exercise is the key factor in achieving weight loss.
