Almost every other person today is concerned about weight management. Given the fast-paced lives that all of us are leading, there is little time left for us to take care of our health and dietary requirements. You would know how unhealthy diet along with a sedentary lifestyle has complicated your weight management goals.

What are the challenges affecting weight loss efforts?

Lack of time, unhealthy diet and inactive lifestyle are some of the factors that complicate your efforts to manage weight. Interestingly, all these factors are also interconnected. Given the hectic lifestyle we live, we don’t find time to exercise and cook balanced meals. Also, due to lack of healthy home-cooked food, many of us often turn to unhealthy foods that adversely affect our health and weight.

What should you do to lose weight?

If you are struggling to find time for work out, one of the ways in which you can lose weight is by following a calorie deficit diet. It a known fact that portion control or conscious calorie intake is an integral part of any weight control program. The National Institute of Health (NIH) recommends a deficit of 500 to 1,000 kcal/day to achieve weight loss of 1 to 2 pounds (approx 0.5-1 kg) per week*. This means that reducing calorie consumption by 500 kcal daily can help you lose 1 pound (approx 0.5 kg) of body fat in a week. This amounts to losing approximately 4 kg body fat in 2 months.

So, how can you get on a calorie deficit diet?

Consumption of low calorie foods is the key to a calorie deficit diet. However, you must follow a diet that not only helps you achieve calorie deficit but is also high in nutrients.
