How can I lose five kilos?

[Anonymous]

It is very easy for fat people to lose twenty kilos, but it is almost impossible for a normal weight person to lose five kilos. Why?

If you're a normal weight, then why do you want to lose 5kg?

And it's for a similar reason why as you get heavier, it becomes harder and harder to gain more weight. The calories required to sustain your mass increase so the amount you need to eat to reach a caloric surplus also grows. That's why when you watch shows like "Biggest Loser" those enormous land whales are losing 10-20lbs a week just by eating a normal diet and doing light calisthenics.

As you get lighter, the amount of food you need to eat grows smaller and smaller in order to continue losing mass at a similar rate.

If I lose five kilos, I will be the size I want.

What's your current height and weight?

Because the "maintenance level" of calories depends on the weight of the person... thus fat people have a larger maintenance level of calories than a lighter person

Meaning that the fat person's body needs more calories a day to "maintain" itself more than a lighter person

Maintenance level of calories is approximately equal to 15 times your body weight in pounds

Nonetheless, weight loss is all about calorie in vs calorie out... you WILL lose weight if your calorie out is more than calorie in

If your maintenance calories is 2500 calories and you eat only 1500 calories a day.. then you burn 1000 calories that day... maybe you'll burn more if you do any additional exercise

Now, one pound of fat is almost 3500 calories... meaning that if you continue this above 1000 calorie burn for a week then you can lose almost 1 kg in a week

And your losing 5 kg goal will be successful in around 5 weeks or more

how, by add exercise and avoid fatty snacks, cookies brownies fatty! chips and crackers fatty! corn chips potato chips fatty. even popcorn hi fat unless the gross air pop popcorn, then use low fat butter spray.

the only snack left is pretzels and keep track of sodium.

Can you just drop them in a dumpster some place?

The same way every other human loses weight
