  2. Your maximum calorie intake should not exceed your current weight in kgs.x24
  3. If you are to lose weight, do an hour’s walking daily and reduce your calorie intake to between 1000-1500 calories a day.
  4. Do not reduce your calorie intake by more than 500 calories a day from your maximum intake, e.g.: Weight: 80 kg, Maximum Calorie Intake: 80 X 24 = 1920, Prescribed Reduction = 1920-500 = 1420 calories.
  5. Daily intake should never go below 1000 calories
