How much weight can I lose in a month It is perfectly possible to lose up to 10 KG (about 1.5 stone) in a month. However, this may not be the best approach because there is a high chance you will put the weight back on quickly – crash diets are not very sustainable and people often return to their normal habits afterwards.

better to set a lower but more achievable target each month. Perhaps aim for
losing 2kg each month for the next six months. That said, if you want to know how to lose a stone in a month (or a similar amount
of weight), some of the tips below may help.

However, while this gives you a rough idea of your weight, it can fluctuate a lot throughout the day. A more accurate measure is the BMI – there are many body mass indicator calculators available online. Alternatively, you could use a measuring tape and note how much you lose over time from your hips or belly.

Next, you need to set a goal. As noted above, although we
all want to lose weight fast, aiming for a big goal like a stone in one month
is not always sustainable.

Remember that ‘slow but steady wins the race’. All
the same, if that is your target, remember to think about what you will do the
following months to keep to your new size – losing weight sustainably is about
long term thinking and lifestyle changes.

Calorie deficit A calorie deficit is one of the best ways to reduce your
weight. To maintain their usual weight, most people need to eat around 2000
calories per day. So, if you consume less than that you will naturally start to
shed the pounds.

Of course, the exact amount varies from person to person, so it is useful to download an app which can calculate your personal plan. Calorie counting apps can be really helpful as they help you calculate the number of calories in the food you eat. Although there will be some variation between what you eat and the numbers recorded, it is convenient and easy to record how much you have eaten each day and stick to your target.

can be really difficult. Fortunately, you don’t have to join an expensive gym
or run hundreds of miles to start to see a difference.
