**Weight Loss Basics**  
**Calorie deficit:** Eat 300–700 fewer calories than you burn daily.  
**Safe weight loss:** Around **0.25–1 kg (0.5–2 lb) per week**.  
**Protein:** 1.2–1.8 g per kg of body weight daily to preserve muscle.  
**Water:** 2–3 liters daily (more if exercising heavily).  
**Sleep:** 7–9 hours every night.  
**Consistency:** Follow the plan at least 80–90% of the time rather than aiming for perfection.
