Get the help of a doctor to set goals

No job can be accomplished in one go. Any work approached step by step will become easy, be it weight loss or weight gain. It is imperative to set goals while working on weight reduction. The goals set must be sensible and achievable. Setting a goal to reduce 3-5 kg per month may be possible and becomes a sensible goal. Trying to lose 20 kg per month is unrealistic.

It is always better to get the help of the health professionals to set and achieve goals. Regardless of sex, if you are active you will need just about 2500 calories per day in energy. Inactive men and women will need about 2000 calories. If you eat 200 to 300 calories less every day, losing 1 pound per week is possible.
