Losing Weight = Simple Math

Losing weight is very simple.

Calorie in - Calorie Out = Deficit = Weight Loss.

This time I took my time tracking all the food in and also calculating my TDEE ( Total Daily Energy Expenditure ).

I set my goal to lose 1 pound a week. So I need to reduce my calorie intake (-500) daily to lose FAT.

Yes. FAT.


When you want to lose weight, you will want to lose the fat. Not water, not muscle, JUST PURE FAT.


The only way to lose fat is to create a calorie deficit. Nothing else.

Sure you can eat all the healthy food but it still has to be within your calorie limit.

I can eat junk food if I want, and if I am still within my calorie limit, I will still be losing weight.

"Google Twinkie Diet"

But the problem with junk food is, it doesn't satisfy me. I will be craving for me.

So I choose to eat complex carb (whole wheat bread)  instead of simple carb (white bread).

I still eat ice cream and chocolate but with moderation.

So after one month, I am able to lose 4-5lbs . It is pretty damn accurate.

There is just no magic in weight lost. Sure you can take supplement to make you feel satisfy.

You can drink protein shakes, or whatever slimming shakes if you want, if that is really what you want to do.

As long as you are eating a deficit, you will be able to lose weight.

So yes. Whatever you do, it is always about food intake.


My stat will be something like this. (average)

TDEE : 1800kcal
Calorie in : 1300kcal
Total Daily loss : 500kcal

Weekly loss: 3500kcal : 1 lbs of fat.



I do eat between 1100kcal to 1300kcal with the exception of weekend  I tend to eat between 1800 to 2000kcal.

I am all happy. My food wasn't so bad either. But I do take a lot more protein during the day because it is more fulfilling.
