For those who prefer not to go to the gym, don't worry—walking is a fantastic alternative. It's free, accessible, and effective!

To lose 1-2 pounds a week through walking, like I mentioned above, you'll need to reduce your calorie intake, possibly significantly. You might burn 500 calories by walking and cut another 500 calories from your diet, but it will require a considerable amount of walking.

I recommend walking for 80 to 100 minutes daily. While this may seem daunting at first, you can gradually work your way up to it.

✨4-Week Diet Plan for Weight Loss✨

Introduction

To achieve a weight loss of 1-2 pounds per week, you need a calorie deficit of 500-1,000 calories per day.

This plan combines a balanced diet with regular exercise to help you create this deficit.

Use the following guidelines to calculate your macronutrient needs and daily caloric intake.

——————————————————————————————

✨Step 1: Calculate Your Daily Caloric Needs✨

There’s many ways to do this, slide 9 is the Harris-Benedict Equation.

Another way is using the Mifflin-St Jeor equation:

✅Determine your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR):

🌎Online resource: https://www.garnethealth.org/news/basal-metabolic-rate-calculator

🧠Or you can do it by hand:

Men: (10 × weight in kg) + (6.25 × height in cm) - (5 × age in years) + 5.

Women: (10 × weight in kg) + (6.25 × height in cm) - (5 × age in years) - 161

✅ Calculating TDEE using the formula TDEE = BMR x

Activity Factor involves two steps:

Step 1: Calculate your BMR using the following formula.

BMR = 10 x weight (kg) + 6.25 x height (cm) - 5 x age (years) + 5

For example, let's say you are a 30-year-old female who weighs 65 kg and is 165 cm tall. To calculate your BMR, you would plug in the numbers like this:

BMR = 10 x 65 + 6.25 x 165 - 5 x 30 + 5

BMR = 650 + 1031.25 - 150 + 5

BMR = 1536.25

So your BMR is 1536.25 calories per day.

Step 2: Multiply your BMR by your activity factor to calculate your TDEE.

Your activity factor depends on how active you are. Here are the different activity factors and their corresponding activity levels:

Sedentary: 1.2

Lightly active: 1.375

Moderately active: 1.55

Very active: 1.725

Super active: 1.9

Let's say you are lightly active, so your activity factor is 1.375. To calculate your TDEE, you would plug in your BMR and activity factor like this:

TDEE = BMR x Activity Factor

TDEE = 1536.25 x 1.375

TDEE = 2111.33

✅Create a Calorie Deficit:

🌎Online resource: https://www.nasm.org/resources/calorie-calculator

✅To lose 1 pound per week, subtract 500 calories/day.

✅To lose 2 pounds per week, subtract 1,000 calories/day.

(This will vary depending on current weight, fitness level, daily calories burned and how much calories you already eat)

——————————————————————————————

✨Step 2: Calculate Macronutrient Needs✨

🌎Online resource: https://macrosinc.net/macro-calculator-bm

✅Protein: Aim for 0.8-1.2 grams per kilogram of body weight.

✅Fats: Aim for 20-30% of your total daily calories.

✅Carbohydrates: The remaining calories should come from carbs.

✨Example✨

Mifflin-St Jeor Calculation for a Moderately Active 30-Year-Old Woman (70 kg, 165 cm)

✅BMR Calculation:

BMR=(10×70)+(6.25×165)−(5×30)−161

BMR=700+1031.25−150−161

BMR≈1,420.25

✅TDEE Calculation:

TDEE = 1,420.25×1.55

TDEE ≈ 2,201 calories/day

✅ Caloric Intake for Weight Loss:

To lose 1 pound/week: 2,201−500=1,701 calories/day

To lose 2 pounds/week: 2,201−1,000=1,201 calories/day

✅Macronutrient Breakdown (for 1,701 calories/day):

Protein: 1.4 grams/kg × 70 kg = 98 grams/day

(392 calories)

Fats: 25% of 1,701 = 425.25 calories (47 grams)

Carbs: Remaining calories = 1,701 - 392 - 425.25 = 883.75 calories (221 grams)

——————————————————————————————

✨ Meal Plan Example✨

✅Breakfast:

Greek yogurt with berries and a handful of nuts

Protein: 15g, Carbs: 20g, Fats: 10g, Calories: 220

✅Morning Snack:

Apple and a boiled egg

Protein: 6g, Carbs: 25g, Fats: 5g, Calories: 160

✅Lunch:

Grilled chicken salad with mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar

Protein: 30g, Carbs: 20g, Fats: 15g, Calories: 350

✅Afternoon Snack:

Hummus with carrot sticks

Protein: 4g, Carbs: 20g, Fats: 8g, Calories: 150

✅Dinner:

Baked salmon with quinoa and steamed broccoli

Protein: 35g, Carbs: 40g, Fats: 20g, Calories: 500

✅Evening Snack:

Cottage cheese with a few slices of pineapple

Protein: 15g, Carbs: 20g, Fats: 5g, Calories: 200

✨Daily Totals✨

✅Protein: 105g

✅Carbs: 145g

✅Fats: 63g

✅Calories: 1,580

——————————————————————————————

✨Adjusting the Plan✨

✅Increase portion sizes or add a small snack if you need more calories.

✅Adjust macronutrient sources to match personal preferences while staying within your targets.

✅Incorporate regular physical activity (e.g., walking, running, strength training) to increase calorie expenditure and maintain muscle mass.
