What is a calorie deficit?
A calorie deficit occurs when you consume fewer calories than your body burns. This forces your body to use stored fat for energy, leading to weight loss.
How much calorie deficit is safe?
A safe calorie deficit is typically 500-750 calories per day, which results in about 0.5-1 kg (1-2 lbs) of weight loss per week.
Can I lose weight without a calorie deficit?
No, weight loss fundamentally requires a calorie deficit. However, the quality of calories and exercise also matter for overall health.
