Of all the weight wellness wisdom across the globe, and throughout time, one simple equation seems to emerge: weight loss = calories consumed < calories expended, or, if you’re not mathematically inclined, if you want to lose weight, eat less calories than you burn up on a daily basis. Simple? Yes. Easy? Perhaps not.
It seems like a harsh truth but really, isn’t it better for your mental wellbeing to know that all it actually boils down to is one simple equation, as opposed to a thousand fad diets and miracle pills that won’t work except to cost you time and money? Anyone can work out if you eat 3000 calories a day, but only burn off 2000; you’ve added 1000 calories to yourself today. It’s not easy, but at least it’s simple.
This is the one universal weight loss tip that applies to everyone. How you might go about dieting and exercise may be different to how other people do it, but the rule still applies and everyone can follow it. You also need to remember that everyone has different rates of metabolism, which is how fast your body can burn calories, and so in a certain time frame everyone will have different results. With time, however, everyone will get the results they want – you just need a little determination and patience. Simple.
