Losing weight is actually an exact science. Follow the steps below and see how it works.
1. Evaluate your Basal Calorific Requirements. This are the calories you need just to maintain you heart beat, liver etc. Using the formula
Men: BCR = 66 + (13.7 X wt in kg) + (5 X ht in cm) - (6.8 X age in years)
Women: BCR = 655 + (9.6 X wt in kg) + (1.8 X ht in cm) - (4.7 X age in years)
Using the above I note i personally need 2400 calories per day.
2. To lose say 3kg a month, I need to have a calorie deficit of 3*7,700 = 23,100 Calories in that month. PS 1 Kg = 7,700 calories.
3. Rework calorie deficit per day needed.
Total Calories for the month = 2,400 x 30 = 72,000
Deficit Needed = 23,100
So calories for the month = 72,000 - 23,100 = 48,900 (or 1,630 calories per day)
4. Deficit per day = 2400 - 1630 = 770 Calories per day.
5. Decide if you'll diet or exercise the 770calories.
Note that
40 min of strenuous exercise (aerobics) = 300 calories
1 slice of bread = 100 calories
1 teaspoon of sugar = 16 calories etc.
Your calorific deficit = your weight loss.

@Theu, the building is Kiambu-Mwitumberia--The shop has no name cause it keeps shifting along the said Ngara Road-Belongs to a cartel of extreme auctioneers and other no so getle men of repute. But their stuff is waaaaaay too cheap. U buy and run! Pana tanga tanga hapo. "For i am the master and the captain of my fate"

There is this weight loss program Lilian Kanene is fronting in the citizen TV,I believe it will be productive though the issue of weight loss is all in the mind.

@ BS hii ni gani ya Kanene cos she looks like she needs to eat something - atleast when i saw her just before she left KTN. [/quote] Its a programme she is working on and will start airing this week where she will be bringing some women weighing 90+ even 104 kg and monitor them over a period through exercise and diet till they shed some kilos. I think it will be important for us to watch considering that weight issues affects all of us !! "You're not supposed to be so blind with patriotism that you can't face reality.
