The Correct Calorie Deficit


Don't be in a hurry! If you don't wanna lose your health you should slim down at a slow rate.  All experts recommend to adjust your energy balance, this way you'll reach the correct calorie deficit, and thus it will be much easier to lose 1-2 pounds a week.


You need to reach 500 calorie deficit per day to lose one pound a week and 1000 calorie deficit per day to lose two pounds a week. It may sound complicated but actually, it's not. There are many ways how to get rid of these extra calories.


Move on and be Creative


For most people, it is a real struggle to keep a diet. You must eat less and move more, it means you must change your habit. Each day you must try different calorie losing combinations to reach your goal. Choose a healthy strategy and let's stroll together along the dreamshore.


Morning Juice


Change your usual 250 calorie(or more) breakfast and mid-morning snack on lemon juice. Thus you'll get 200 calorie deficit till noon. Be active all the time, remember your goal. To burn excess calories, do some exercises while watching TV, in one hour you can burn up to 250 calories. To reach a 1000 calories deficit per day, skip chips and baked potatoes, it contains a great amount of starch, which provides a giant amount of calories.


Best Friend: Workout


Go to the gym immediately, if you want to lose one pound a week. Don't dare find any excuse. Pick up the playlist of your favorite music and run or walk on the treadmill. Skip the bread on your sandwich at lunctime, instead, eat lettuce and increase the speed on the treadmill to lose two pound per week.


Burn Calories with Friends


Gathering with friends and going to the restaurant, don't forget about high calorie sauces and dressings. And bread of course. Skipping them will save you 500 calories. You may also save calories by skipping drinks. Each drink contains a huge ammount of calorie. Give up drinking and lose weight.


Water


Drink water instead of all those beverages, which in most cases contain sugar and hundreds of calories. In fact, it is very useful for your body to drink water, not only in case of weight lossing.  Drink water at work instead of coffee and soda, you'll see the result.


Burn Calories Together with Kids


Do you have kids? Take them to the park and play some game. Kids love to run, so you can easily burn 400 calories in one hour. Do the same things, which your kids do, run together, play together, this is the right step towards your goal. Having a picnic, try to make it healthy, cut your portion in half and save another 400-500 calories.


Snack


And the last thing will concern your snack. It contains (in most cases) more calories than you'll get during mealtime. So replace your snack with some vegetables dishes, which would be more usful for your body and weight lossing.
