A calorie deficit is the only scientifically proven method for fat loss. No magic pill. No crash diet. Just eating fewer calories than your body burns — consistently, over time.
Calories In < Calories Out = Fat Loss
Step 1 — Find Your Deficit Target
Mild Deficit
−250 kcal
Slow fat loss. Best for beginners.
Optimal Deficit
−500 kcal
~0.5 kg fat loss per week. Gold standard.
Aggressive Deficit
−750 kcal
Faster loss but risks muscle. Short periods only.

What to Avoid on a Calorie Deficit

- Sugary drinks — cold drinks, packaged juices, sweet chai
- White bread and maida — causes insulin spikes and hunger
- Late-night eating — disrupts sleep and metabolic rhythm
- Skipping meals — leads to overeating later
