On Weight Loss Program


As a personal trainer, I do not recommend that you should go on a weight-loss program or follow a fad diet. I always tell my clients that they should develop healthy eating habits instead. The problem with these diet programs, people feel they can go off at any time. If you decided to change your lifestyle and how you approach food, then you are looking at a long-term plan for health.


Let me remind you again that it all comes down to calories. If you eat 100 more food calories than you burn each day, you'll gain about a pound a month. If you eat fewer calories than you burn, you slowly but surely will lose weight.


Jot down how many calories you should be taking in to maintain your current weight. The number can range from 1,600 calories a day for a sedentary older woman to 3,000 calories a day for an active young man.


Also, please do not neglect any physical activity to match or outburn the calories you take in every day. Join my bootcamp activities and you will realise how important to have an active lifestyle for long term health benefits.
