Losing 4 kilos in 30 days is achievable with a combination of diet, exercise, and lifestyle changes. Here’s a structured approach:
1. Nutrition Plan (80% of weight loss)
✅ Caloric Deficit: Aim for a 500-600 calorie deficit per day to lose around 0.5-1 kg per week.
How to calculate your daily calories:
Step 1: Calculate your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)
Use the Harris-Benedict formula:
Women: BMR = 655 + (9.6 × weight in kg) + (1.8 × height in cm) – (4.7 × age in years)
Men: BMR = 66 + (13.7 × weight in kg) + (5 × height in cm) – (6.8 × age in years)
Example:
Gender: Female
Age: 62 years
Weight: 67 kg
Height: 170 cm
Your calculation:
BMR=655+(9.6×67)+(1.8×170)−(4.7×62) =1312.8 calories/day
Step 2: Calculate your Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE)
Multiply your BMR by your activity level:
Activity Level | Multiplier |
Sedentary (little/no exercise) | 1.2 |
Lightly active (1–3 days exercise/week) | 1.375 |
Moderately active (3–5 days/week) | 1.55 |
Very active (6–7 days/week) | 1.725 |
Extra active (intense exercise daily) | 1.9 |
Choose your multiplier based on your activity. For example, if you're lightly active:
TDEE=BMR×1.375
Using your BMR:
TDEE=1312.8×1.375=1805 calories/day (approx.)
Adjust for Weight Goals:
To maintain your current weight: Eat at your TDEE (~1805 calories/day)
To lose weight: subtract around 300-500 calories/day (around 1300–1500 calories/day)
To gain weight: add 300-500 calories/day (around 2100–2300 calories/day)
Given your goal is to lose 4 kg in 30 days, aiming around 1300–1500 calories per day is reasonable, balanced, and sustainable.
✅ High-Protein Diet: Protein keeps you full and preserves muscle. Include lean meats, fish, eggs, tofu, and legumes.
✅ Healthy Fats & Fiber: Avocados, nuts, olive oil, and seeds help with satiety. Fiber-rich foods like veggies, fruits, and whole grains improve digestion.
✅ Cut Processed Foods & Sugars: Avoid sugary drinks, refined carbs, and processed snacks.
✅ Portion Control: Use a smaller plate and be mindful of portion sizes.
