Frequently asked questions
What is a weight loss program?
A weight loss program is a structured plan designed to help individuals lose weight. It typically includes a combination of dietary changes, physical activity, and behavioral strategies to promote sustainable weight loss.
How long does a programme last?
A programme can typically last 3 months or 12 weeks to allow you to establish the right habits to achieve lasting results
How important is sleep in a weight loss program?
Sleep is crucial for weight loss because it affects hormones that control hunger and satiety. Poor sleep can increase appetite, especially for high-calorie foods, and can slow down metabolism, making weight loss harder.
Is it necessary to drink a lot of water to lose weight?
Drinking water helps keep you hydrated, supports metabolism, and may help control hunger by filling you up. While it’s not a magic solution for weight loss, staying hydrated is important for overall health and can complement weight loss efforts.
Can I lose weight without counting calories?
Yes, you can lose weight without counting calories by focusing on portion control, eating more whole foods, reducing processed food intake, and paying attention to hunger cues. However, tracking calories can be helpful for some people to maintain awareness of their intake.
Should I try intermittent fasting for weight loss?
Intermittent fasting (IF) can help some people lose weight by limiting eating windows, leading to fewer calories consumed. However, it may not be suitable for everyone, especially those with certain health conditions. It's important to choose a method that fits your lifestyle.
How long will it take to lose weight?
Weight loss varies for each person, but a safe and sustainable rate of weight loss is about 1-2 pounds per week
Can I lose weight without exercise?
While exercise accelerates weight loss, weight loss is primarily influenced by a calorie deficit, which can be achieved through diet alone. However, exercise improves overall health, muscle tone, and metabolism.
