👉Most people fail to reach their weight loss goals because they expect quick results and when they don't get this, they quit.
⚠️To lose weight, you need to eat and drink fewer calories than you burn. That's called a calorie deficit.
📍If you take in more calories than you burn, then you don’t have a calorie deficit and you won’t lose weight.
🙌A good rule of thumb for healthy weight loss is a deficit of about 500 calories per day. One must consume at atleast 1200-1800 calories per day.
👉1,200 to 1,500 calories a day for women and 1,500 to 1,800 calories a day for men. It can be unhealthy to take in less than that.
💫FOR EXAMPLE: Let’s say that your maintenance calorie level is 2,500 calories. You decide to eat 2,200 calories, and you’re making great progress. But after 3 weeks of no progress at all, it becomes clear that your body has adapted to the 2,200 calories.
📌Your metabolism has slowed, and that is your new maintenance level at your new, lower body weight. When this happens, you drop your calories a bit more to put yourself back into a deficit. In this example, you’d drop your calories to 2,000-2,100 calories to begin to see results again.
⚠️This number is different for everybody, and there are not hard-set rules for when this point is. But if you were to drop your calories too low, that’s when you’ll begin feeling terrible.
💫SOLUTION? Talk to your dietician about the right figure of calories otherwise you will end up doing more harm than good.
