Losing Weight – Basics and Tips

Losing weight means intentionally reducing your body weight – usually through a combination of healthy eating and regular physical activity. It's important to lose weight slowly and sustainably to avoid the yo-yo effect.

Key Aspects of Losing Weight:

1. Healthy Nutrition

   • Eat balanced meals with plenty of vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and lean proteins.

   • Avoid sugary and highly processed foods.

   • Watch your calorie intake – you should burn more calories than you consume.

2. Exercise

   • Regular exercise helps burn fat and strengthens your muscles.

   • Endurance sports like jogging, swimming, or cycling are recommended, as well as strength training.

3. Hydration

   • Drink plenty of water – at least 1.5 to 2 liters per day.

   • Avoid sugary drinks and alcohol.

4. Sleep and Stress

   • Getting enough sleep and reducing stress are also important, as they affect hormones and metabolism.

5. Setting Goals

   • Set realistic goals. A weight loss of 0.5–1 kg (1–2 lbs) per week is considered healthy.
