The good news? You don't have to be a chef or count every single calorie. You just need to make a few smart choices.
The Simple Math of Weight Loss
Think of your body like a car. Food is the fuel.
-
If you put in more fuel than you use, you will have extra fuel stored.
-
If you use more fuel than you put in, your car will use its stored fuel to keep going.
This is called a calorie deficit. A calorie is just a unit of energy. To lose weight, you simply need to eat fewer calories than your body burns each day. It’s that simple.
To lose around 5kg in one month, a good goal is to eat 500-750 fewer calories each day. You can do this by changing what you eat, moving more, or a mix of both.
5 Easy Food Tips to Start Losing Weight Today
Ready to start? Here are some simple, powerful tips to help you reach your goals without feeling hungry.
-
Eat More Protein. Protein keeps you feeling full for a long time. Foods like chicken, fish, eggs, and lentils are great. When you feel full, you won't want to snack on unhealthy foods.
-
Fill Up on Vegetables. Vegetables are your best friends. They are full of vitamins and fiber, and they have very few calories. Try to make half of your lunch and dinner plate a mix of colorful vegetables.
-
Drink Water, Not Sugar. Sugary drinks like soda and fruit juice are full of empty calories. Your body doesn't need them. The best drink for weight loss is water. It helps you feel full and keeps your body working right.
-
Say No to "White" Foods. Foods like white bread, white rice, and pasta have been processed and can make you feel hungry faster. Try to switch to whole-grain options like brown rice, whole-wheat bread, and oats.
-
Stop Late-Night Eating. When you eat late at night, your body doesn't have time to burn those calories. Try to stop eating a few hours before you go to sleep.
