How I lost weight??

Tweet

I am starting this discussion for all the people who want to know how to lose weight. Well, I am a weight loser as well, I have lost 10kgs in 6 months. Yea I know- too slow!! But you know what the good thing is, I haven't got it back on and it's been two months, am I happy ?? :P extremely. I still have to lose 20-35 kgs and i am working on it slowly:) So what did I do? First, I figured out how i wanna lose weight? 1. By Diet Control. 2. By Exercise. 3. By Diet + Exercise I tried first method, by diet control, so I lost a kg in 2 days. :O Impressive haan? Not so much, I got it back on the following week. Tried method 2, Didn't lose at all, only maintained. Tried 3rd method and boo-yah!! it worked :) Why first two methods did not work? 1: Because you can not live on boiled vegetables forever. 2: Because exercise makes you hungry, you don't diet, you gain weight by not noticing what you are eating. Okay What plans/goals I had when I started out third method?? First Step is to know your total daily caloric needs. You can find it on many websites by inputting your height,age,gender etc. Suppose your TDEE turns out to be 2300 Second Step is to cut 200-500 calories from that amount. If you wanna lose a pound per week then the deficit should be of 500 calories. How??? 1 pound = 3500 calories. 500 calorie deficit for seven days a week = 500*7 = 3500. Ta Da a pound lost. So How can you plan 500 calorie deficit ? Don't eat lays 53.1 gms pack daily? Cut-out soda from everyday to soda once a week? And other 300? Walk briskly,remember briskly, You are not out for sight seeing. What is brisk walk? A walk during which you can still talk but can not sing. What to eat and what not to eat? Try eating simple foods, the more raw food you eat the easier it is for your body to lose weight. The more you eat junk, processed food, the tougher it is to lose weight. Remember DO NOT STARVE. You will lose weight eventually but you will break you body's system. And m sure you do not want that.:) Good Luck
