Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

There is no magic formula to lose weight.

  1. Eat 1500 to 2000 calories a day.
  2. Exercise for 45 minutes to an hour every day for five days a week.
  3. Include aerobics and weight training.
  4. Sleep for seven to eight hours a day.
  5. Strictly no junk food.
  6. Drink plenty of water, at least 3 liters a day.
  7. Take a handful of nuts at snack time.
  8. Include 70 grams of protein a day.
  9. Eat less in each meal and make into five portions the same food that you eat in three.
  10. No snacking at odd times.
  11. The breakfast should be the heaviest meal of the day, but not too heavy.
  12. After four months, you will start to see a difference.
  13. It will take a minimum of six months to lose the desired weight.

So, be patient and steady.
