Hello Abhijeet,

To begin, you have to have a good basis for understanding of how diet and exercise affect your weight, as well, as some basis for understanding how genetics also play into the situation.

On average, a person's body burns about 2000 in daily activity. If a person consumes more than is needed to fuel that daily activity, the remainder is often stored as fat. This is because of our episodes of severe famine that have occurred during human evolution. In essence, the body attempts to store energy from times when food is plentiful for use when food is scarce.

The only weight that one should choose to lose is excess fat, that body fat that exceeds 10% of total body weight. You can gauge the weight of your body fat by weighing yourself immersed at least to your neck in water and comparing that weight with your dry land weight. As the fat is buoyant in water, it will not figure into you immersed weight, so by subtracting that weight from your dry land weight, you should be able to sufficiently determine the weight of your body fat.

To reduce the amount of body fat, you need to do two things: reduce you daily caloric intake to an amount that is less than is necessary to sustain your daily level of activity, and you need to increase the amount of exercise you do in a daily basis.

I usually recommend that you begin by cutting all sugar out of your diet. Secondly, reduce the amount of the portions you eat of your normal dietary nutrients by one-quarter to one-third. Eat what you normally eat, but eat less of it. Then exercise more, eschew elevators, take the stairs, park far from entrances and walk as much as possible.

The weight loss will be a slow process, but the plan is effective and additionally works to modify your behavior so that by the time you have succeeded in bringing your total body weight to that 10% area, you are programmed to feel full eating the lesser amounts and your activity level has risen to a point where you should have no difficulty maintaining your weight.

One thing that a lot of people do not seem to understand, however, is that we are also programmed to have certain physical attributes, such as size, metabolism, and such by the genes we were given by our parents. It is very difficult for anyone to become something other than what they were designed by genetic structure to become.

I do hope this is of assistance in answering your question. Good luck,
