Research shows that exercise alone cannot guarantee weight lose. You have to make sure that you control your calorie intake for every meal.  With the combination of both to ensure you maintain your body weight.

The principle of healthy weight lose

There are two ways of medical weight lose.

1. Improved your body basic metabolism
2. Control your daily calorie intake, that’s mean eat only 60%-70% full.
3. Personalize your diet plan with the help of calorie diet’s expert.

How many calories do I need?

For example:

A 33 year old normal office lady at 160cm height, 53 kgs needs 1443 calories per day. If she needs to lose weight moderately, she has to reduce the amount of calories intake to 1200 per day. For extreme fat loss, she needs 950 calories intake per day.

Ways to calculate how much calories you need a day.

Male: [66 + 1.38 x Weight (kg) + 5 x Height (cm) – 6.8 x Age] x activities

Female: [655 + 9.6 x Weight (kg) + 1.9 x Height (cm) – 4.7 x Age] x activities

Activities are different for different people. Normally it will range from 1.1 – 1.3. The greater the activities, the higher the figure. 1.1 is for a normal office working lady, and 1.3 is for higher activities people.
