How It Works

The math behind your milestones.

1

Analyze TDEE

We calculate your Total Daily Energy Expenditure based on your physical stats and activity.

2

Apply Deficit

Based on your chosen intensity, we subtract the calories needed to burn fat (approx. 7700 kcal per kg).

3

Project Date

We forecast how many weeks it will take to reach your target weight safely.

Weight Loss Journey

The Realistic Path

Weight loss isn't always linear. While this calculator provides a mathematical projection, real life involves fluctuations, water retention, and muscle gain.

  • Consistency is Key

    Hitting your calorie target 80% of the time is better than 100% perfection followed by quitting.

  • Adjust as You Go

    As you lose weight, your BMR decreases. Recalculate your timeline every 5 kg lost.

Your Personalized Weight Loss Pillars

Nutrition First

Prioritize protein at every meal (20-30g) to protect muscle mass while in a calorie deficit. Fill half your plate with fibrous veggies.

Hydration Protocol

Aim for 3-4 liters of water daily. Often, hunger signals are just dehydration in disguise. Drink a glass before every meal.

Sleep Hygiene

Poor sleep spikes hunger hormones (ghrelin). Target 7-9 hours of quality sleep to optimize fat-burning hormones.

Cardio Recommendations

  • 01
    Zone 2 Training

    30-45 mins of low intensity cardio (brisk walk) keeps you in the fat-burning zone without spiking cortisol.

  • 02
    NEAT Activity

    Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis matters most. Aim for 8k-10k steps daily outside of scheduled workouts.

Strength Training

  • 01
    Compound Movements

    Focus on squats, deadlifts, and pushups. These recruit more muscle fibers and burn more calories post-workout.

  • 02
    Frequency

    2-3 full body sessions per week is enough to maintain muscle while you lose fat.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is losing 1 kg a week safe?
Yes, for many people 0.5kg to 1kg per week is considered safe and sustainable. Faster loss often involves muscle loss.
Why did my weight go up?
Daily fluctuations are normal due to water retention, salt intake, or digestion. Look at the weekly trend, not daily numbers.
Can I lose weight faster?
You can, but it's often not recommended. Severe restriction usually leads to binging and regaining the weight.
Do I need to exercise?
Weight loss is primarily diet, but exercise helps retain muscle and improves metabolic health, making maintenance easier.
What is the "Starvation Mode"?
It's a metabolic adaptation where your body burns fewer calories to survive. It happens during severe, prolonged restriction.
How accurate is this date?
It's a mathematical projection. Human bodies are complex. Treat this date as a motivating guideline, not a strict deadline.
What if I hit a plateau?
Plateaus happen. Try a "diet break" (eating at maintenance) for a week or increasing your daily step count.
Does sleep affect weight loss?
Yes! Poor sleep increases hunger hormones (ghrelin) and decreases satiety hormones (leptin), making it harder to stick to your plan.
