The Bigget Loser Advice and Tips

In order to lose weight you must be in a Calorie Deficit, Every diet you will ever see bases itself on the individual being in some form of a calorie deficit.

On average males require  2500 calories per day and women need 2000 calories per day. However depending on your goal this average will change for example,  if you are on a weight loss journey you may only consume 2000 per day as a male. Keeping to a regular calorific deficit should see a consistent drop in weight.

You will also need to consider your expenditure i.e exercise, as this will affect weight loss. Combining regular exercise and and a balanced diet (mintaining a calorie deficit) will help you to achieve your weight loss goals. Being sedentary will lead to slower results, and also wont benefit your health.

Essentially, in order to count calories and get into a calorie deficit we would advise to reduce your daily calorie intake by  150 calories per day per week.
