Weight loss happens when you are in a CALORIE DEFICIT—this means you eat fewer calories than your body burns.
When this happens, your body uses stored fat for energy, leading to weight loss.
👉 Eat more calories than you burn = weight gain
👉 Burn more calories than you eat (calorie deficit) = weight loss
👉 Eat and burn the same amount = weight stays the same
To lose about 0.5 kg (1 lb) per week, you need a calorie deficit of 500 calories per day. You can create a calorie deficit by:
✔ Eating a little less
✔ Being more active (walking, playing sports, exercising, etc.)
✔ Doing both for the best results!
