How much weight can you lose in a month?

Advertisements of weight loss products and plans that promise quick weight loss bombard your social media feeds. It can be easy to believe those claims, especially when a wedding or a first date is looming at a distance. But think for yourself — can weight loss be that easy and quick? How much can you lose in just 30 days?

According to well-known dietitian and nutritionist Neha Chandna, you can lose up to 3 kg in a month when on a strict diet and exercise regime. Losing half kg of body fat is equivalent to losing 3,500 calories. To lose 1 kg in 10 days, you must burn at least 1000 calories in a day. You need to cut down on the number of calories you consume daily and also burn the calories during your workout.

Losing 1000 calories in a day might seem like a daunting number but if you cut down on the pieces of bread, cookies and sauces you consume daily you can easily achieve that number. These diet tips will help you lose weight in a month.

To burn 1000 calories daily, you must aim to workout five to six times in a week. However, the number of calories you expend depends on your weight, sex and intensity of your exercise.
For example, if you weigh around 70 kg, here is how much you can burn doing the following activities:

• 20 minutes of jogging can help you burn up to 105 calories
• With 30 minutes of swimming, you can burn up to 250 calories
• Zumba for 30 minutes will help you burn up to 400 calories.
• Household chores such as sweeping, cleaning and dusting can help you burn up to 200 calories in an hour. Try HIIT to burn more calories.
