Calculate your calories

It is not as easy as it looks losing weight. We need to make efforts even for losing single pound. One pound of fat contains around 3500 calories. So in order to lose one pound in a week time, you need to cut down your daily calorie intake by 500 per day. So if you have to lose 2 pounds in a week, you need to reduce your calorie intake by 1000 per day.


To get this reduced calorie diet, your physical activity can help a lot. So reduction of 500 to 1000 calories can be obtained with the help of reduced intake and physical activities. The lowest intake per day recommended for females is 1,200 calories, and for males is 1,500 calories per day.
