If you eat 500kcal less from the daily calories intake, it is summed up to 3,500kcal in a week, and converted to 0.5kg. Lessening your daily calories by 500kcal everyday can help you lose 0.5kg within a week and up to 2kg in a month without any exercise. 2kg of weight reduction may sound not enough, but 2~3kg of weight loss per month is recommended for health reasons.
You should check up on your daily exercise and life habits, too. It is good to consider how frequent you’ve used the elevator, how long you’ve been riding the car or how long you’ve been sitting down, and double check if you’ve visited the gym last week. Try to improve everyday habits by using public transportation instead of private car, walking near distances or using the stairs instead of escalators. Also it is best if you can carry out both aerobic and anaerobic exercises too.
Despite your consistent dietary improvement and exercises, and you fail to lose weight for over 3 months, you may consider getting the help of medicinal therapy which helps to control appetite and holds back fat accumulation. Proper diets, exercise, and life habits are very important for lifetime healthcare.
