Create a calorie deficit:
The key to fat loss is being in a calorie deficit! Use an online calorie calculator to find your personal calorie goal, and make sure to manually set it up in your preferred tracking app. This way, you’re working with more accurate numbers.

Prioritise protein:
Protein is your secret weapon for fat loss! Aim for 1g of protein per pound of your goal body weight. Here’s how to make sure you hit your protein goals:
- Start your day with at least 30g of protein if you’re a breakfast person.
- Double down on your current protein sources.
- Add egg whites to your omelet for an extra protein boost.
- Opt for leaner meats like chicken and turkey.
- Incorporate high-protein snacks like Greek yogurt parfait.
Get moving daily:
Whether it’s strength training, walking, or your favorite cardio, aim for at least 30 minutes of activity a day. Stay consistent, and those calories will burn.
Stay hydrated:
A good rule of thumb: drink half your body weight (lb) in ounces of water daily. My favorite way? Buy a cute big water bottle, fill it up first thing in the morning, and then your only job is to finish it by the end of the day. Also read | Want to lose over 30 kg in just 9 months?

Get enough sleep:
Sleep is just as important as diet and exercise when it comes to fat loss. Poor sleep can affect your hunger hormones, making it harder to lose fat. Aim for 7-8 hours every night.
