Losing excess weight and burning of fat is a simple mathematics sort of thing and what you need to do to lose weight is that you need to burn more calories than you eat. Weight reduction experts and dietitians generally agree that by creating a deficit of about 500 calories each day through any means like combination of eating less or few calories and increase the level of physical activity or by excess exercise alone or by diet alone. So with this after 1 week you will find out that you are 1-2 pounds lighter than you were and your fat has melted away. The combination of diet and weight at the same time is the most effective and most healthy method of losing weight and burning of excess fats.
