Tips to Help Shed Your Last Few Kilos
-  It is important to reduce your calorie levels as you reduce your weight. Remember, 3500 calories equals 2.2 kilos of body weight. If you reduce your diet by 500 calories per day and increase your exercise daily, you can lose a healthy one kilo per month.
- Avoid cutting too many calories because then your body goes into starvation mode, it will start to store fat and use protein instead, which will reduce your muscle mass and slow your
metabolic rate. - Remember to drink lots of water and avoid fizzy drinks.
- Do not weigh yourself every day and avoid becoming obsessive over your weight loss.
