Know your calorie intake

Knowing how many calories you need to eat per day to burn fat is important when trying to lose weight fast.  Because, if you don’t know how much you have to eat, You will probably end up eating more or gaining weight, instead of losing it.

Create a Calorie Deficit

A calorie deficit is eating fewer calories than your maintenance calories need, in order to lose weight. Remember not to create a huge calorie deficit, for example, 1500 calories less than maintenance. Reducing so many calories at once makes it harder to lose fat as you continue dieting.
