Calorie Deficit
It’s a known fact that eating less than what your body burns, will always help you shed some pounds. First, check out your BMR or your maintenance calories. Then, eat 500 calories less than what you need and this will definitely drop your weight by one kg per week.
Patience
The other thing that should be followed is being patient. You won’t get a lean body in just a month or two. You need to have a little bit of patience. It takes at least three to four months to actually get the results so, keep in mind, Patience is key!
Consistency and Hard Work
We won’t have to tell you about hard work, right? People tend to lose hope after a month or two of working out, so they work out inconsistently, they won’t take note of their calorie intake regularly. So, do remember to regularly burn the candle at both ends.
