So what should I do to start Losing weight?

To start losing weight you have 3 options:

  1. Start eating less

  2. Start exercising more
  3. Or do both(Best Option)

And to maximize your weight loss you need to: Exercise smarter & Change Your Eating Habits.

Achieving maximum weigh loss is a slow and steady process where you should expect to lose 1-2lbs of mostly body fat a week. Losing more than 3lbs a week only means you’ll be losing a higher amount of muscle and water weight.

 To make sure that you’re losing mostly body fat, try to cut no more than 750 calories a day from the amount of calories you need to maintain your weight and exercising to burn up to 500 calories a day

The best way to start losing weight is to eat less and exercise more at the same time. The reason why it’s best to combine both methods is that you do not have to cut that many calories and you do not have to exercise that much to lose weight.

For example to lose a pound of fat week you have to find a way to burn 500 extra calories a day.

(7days x 500 calories burned per day =
3500 calories burned or a 1lb of fat lost each week!).

If you decide to eat less to lose a pound of fat week you have to cut 500 calories each day. If you decide to exercise lose a pound of fat week you have to exercise for 45-60 minutes at a moderate-high intensity to burn 500 calories.

The reason why it’s better to combine both eating less and exercise is that you don’t have to cut many calories (only 250 calories) and you don’t have to exercise that long, only 30minutes to burn 250 calories for a total of 500 calories

Now you may not be able to exercise because of a physical condition or you’re just plain lazy. In this case the best you can hope for is to cut 750 calories a day to lose 1˝ lb. of body fat a week. On the other hand you may love to eat, and to start losing weight you decide to eat as much as you can without gaining weight and exercising to lose weight.
