Lose Weight Correctly and keep it
off Permanently
Ensure that your meals are nutritionally well balanced and that
you eat adequately each day.
Food provides you with energy (expressed as kilocalories or what
we commonly refer to as 'calories') which fuels your daily
activities and here's how much you need.
Every adult requires to consume approximately 2000 calories
(kilocalories) daily. When you wish to lose weight, you need to
reduce the intake by 500 calories each day which means you should
follow a 1500-calorie diet.
Following a low calorie diet doesn't mean eliminating certain foods
or cutting out meals. Instead, a diet should be a part of your
lifestyle, a way of living, eating the correct way and cultivating
habits that will stay with you for a lifetime.
A well-balanced diet gives you optimal energy and nutrition for
maintenance of your body cells, tissues and organs and supports
normal growth and development.
