Weight loss How many steps do you need to climb to burn the right number of calories  |  Photo Credit: Getty Images

New Delhi: Weight loss is a process that requires not just discipline in terms of diet, but also perseverance. However, when you include physical activity in your daily routine by making small changes, you can not only aid weight loss, but also keep your body healthy in general.

One of the most effective ways to slip exercise into your daily routine is to walk whenever you can and take the stairs at home, in office, or at shopping complexes. Climbing up and down the stairs is a very effective workout, and can also help in burning calories.

The answer to the question is subjective. How many calories you need to burn depends on how many calories you consume, how much physical activity is included in your routine, and what your lifestyle is. For people who consume fewer calories, they may use them all up in their routine activities, and may not need to burn a lot of them. For others who consume more calories, and have a sedentary lifestyle, including cardio exercises in their routine may be even more important in order to lose weight. According to Healthline, an average woman needs to consume about 2,000 calories in a day to maintain her weight, and 1500 calories per day in order to lose one pound of weight in a week. For men, the average consumption of calories stands at 2500 calories to maintain, and 2000 calories to lose one pound of weight per week. 2000 calories for women, and 2500 calories for men is the recommended amount of calorie intake. Therefore, if you consume the recommended amount of calories for weight maintenance, in order to lose weight, you have to burn about 500 calories in a day.

According to reports, climbing up a stair burns about 0.75 calories, while climbing down burns 0.25 calories. If an average flight of stairs has about 20 steps, you burn 15 calories climbing up, and 5 calories climbing down. Therefore, in order to burn 500 calories in a day, you need to climb 33.33 flights of stairs or come down 100 flights.

However, climbing up or climbing down so many stairs is also not recommended, as it may not be healthy for your knees. A combination of various workouts like brisk walking, running, climbing stairs, jogging, etc can help in burning the right number of calories, and aid weight loss.

(ThyBlackMan.com) We are in the middle of winter on our way to spring. Soon we will be looking for ways to get our body prepared for the summer turn up. However, some are looking to lose weight to improve energy, overall health, and to increase confidence. There are various methods on the market to lose weight. However, you should, if possible, start with a doctor visit to ensure your body is functioning as best as possible. This is a step that is often overlooked, but if you are challenged with illness or any unforeseeable situation that can make weight loss difficult.

As women many of us can agree that losing, and maintaining, weight is one of the most difficult things to do. So many things can cause the journey to goal to be daunting. When many of us look around us we see the body we wish we had in the presentation we long for. As we stand together for a healthier more fulfilled life consider these three things when trying to lose weight.

1. Unless there is a medical diagnosis you didnt put on the weight overnight. Be graceful with yourself. If you were encouraging another sister youd want her to realize she is taking the first step in working on her weight. However, she didnt put on the weight overnight so dont expect to lose it in the blink of an eye. It is important to have patience with yourself. Give yourself the same pep talk youd give someone else because you deserve the kindness while on this journey.

2. Consistency is vital to seeing results. While giving yourself the grace you give others know that you will have to give the program a chance to work. A lot of the things you see out here will work, but you must commit yourself to the process regardless of how you are feeling. There will times you wont feel like working out, stretching, and you wont feel like cooking. It is important to push through those spaces to create the routine that best works for you as you. Dont let anyone stop you from sowing this wellness into your life.

3. Perspective is everything. Be happy. You are working towards the health and body you want. That is already more than some. Your emotional space will have something to do with weight loss. Find a wat to mediate, pray, uplift yourself every time you begin to feel down about your weight. There are women that can attest that in their stages of happiness it can be hard to lose weight even when you are doing whats needed. Allow the shedding of weight to mean body fat, negativity, doubt, fear, and anything else you need to lose.

As someone that use to be over 350lbs I can attest to the fact that losing weight is no walk in the park. It requires movement but gives us energy. It will require disciplining and consistency, but this will not only yield results, but it will build character. Remember that, like peace, happiness is a matter of choice, its a wonderful thing to know you can take hold of happiness regardless of whats happening around you. Lets get fit and get these bodies moving.

Three Things to Consider When Trying to Lose Weight. - ThyBlackMan

COLSON Smith turned heads at The Television and Radio Industries Club Awards this week - as he showcased his impressive weight loss.

The Coronation Street star, 21, looked remarkably trim as he sported a fitted suit and waistcoat for the star-studded bash.

And many fans, desperate to follow in his footsteps, were left asking exactly how Colson, who plays fan favourite Craig Tinker in the ITV soap, managed to trim down.

In particular, Colson has been hitting the gym regularly to make sure he's fit for his storyline on Corrie.

His police officer character has taken up running after finding that he was out of breath while chasing shop lifters.

Craig told his Weatherfield pals that he was going to make an effort to get healthier after being bullied at work.

Despite overhauling his fitness, Colson also admits that food poisoning caused him to lose one and a half stone in December.

He ignored advice not to eat some seafood while holidaying in Thailand.

Speaking on his podcast Sofa Cinema Club - which he hosts with Jack P Shepherd, 31, and Ben Price, 47 - the star explained: "I was in Ko Lanta. I was sat on the beach and the waiter came over and was like, 'What would you like?' And I said, 'I'll have the prawns to start please.'

"I had avoided seafood but I was sat on the beach and I was like, 'How can you not have seafood on the beach?'

"I had avoided seafood [on Ben's advice] but I was sat on the beach and I was like, 'How can you not have seafood on the beach?'

"Well, anyway. I'm not doing that again. I've lost about a stone and a half."

Colson was only able to eat a banana and three slices of toast for a whole week before recovering.

The drop in Colson's natural daily calorie intake put his body in a calorie deficit state - a state which has been proven to help slimmers stimulate rapid weight loss.

Of course the way Colson lost weight was not a healthy way to shed pounds but to lose weight in a similar manner, a slimmer needs to also reduce their daily calorie intake.

Harry Thomas, owner of No1 Fitness and nutrition expert said: "So the first thing is to reduce calories and get yourself into a deficit, this means burning more than you are consuming.

"The best way is too create awareness on what you are currently consuming, including all food and liquids.

"This is a great way to learn about how much we are consuming."

Another simple way you can lose weight is by simply doing more exercise.

Harry added: "The best way is to move more - this will all help to burn more calories."Make it simple and pay attention to your step count.

"I recommend a minimum or 10000 per day, but if you are way short of that, aim to beat your average score. The more you move the better."

Colson Smith weight loss how the Coronation Street star shed over a stone - The Irish Sun

PETALING JAYA: It seemed an uphill task, but overweight musician Muhammad Helmi Shahuddin kept at overhauling his lifestyle and following a strict diet plan.

The result of his perseverance losing over 50kg and bidding adieu to diabetes and high blood pressure.

Having struggled with his weight for most of his life, the 33-year-old revealed that it was not until two years ago that he decided to turn his life around and reduce his over 120kg frame.

He adopted the keto diet and the one meal a day (OMAD) plan, a form of intermittent fasting stretching 22 hours daily with just a small window to eat.

Also known as the ketogenic diet, it involves a low-carb, high fat eating plan that drives the body into a state of ketosis, whereby the body uses fat as a primary fuel source instead of carbohydrates.

It started when I met a friend who lost a lot of weight and I asked what was his secret.

He told me about a weight loss expert called Dr Eric Berg who has these Youtube videos, which I started to look up, said Helmi.

After watching the videos, the guitarist was inspired to embark on his weight loss transformation.

I started to diet during Ramadan in 2018. I would only drink plain water for sahur (pre-dawn meal) then break fast by eating two pieces of beef patties, three eggs and some salad.

Ever since then, Ive been following the keto diet by eating high fats but no sugar and no carbs, said Helmi, who lives in Subang Jaya with his wife Yazrin Azrina Yunus, 33.

Following this, Helmi dropped to a much healthier weight, recording 71kg at his lowest.

When Helmi went to see his doctor, Dr Ng Siew Nee six months after his weight loss, she was impressed.

Last month, I was cleared of diabetes, high blood pressure and dirty urine, said Helmi, who now weighs 77kg, with muscles to show.

I go to the gym about three times a week and have started to take some carbs to build up muscles.

These days, Helmis menu includes five eggs daily plus beef or chicken breast and some vegetables. He also regularly fasts for 22 hours a day.

When I was trying to lose weight, I would fast for 16 to 17 hours only. But now Im used to a 22-hour fast.

I eat only once a day at 2pm. My body is used to it, he said.

Since losing weight, Helmi said he was now more confident and energetic when performing onstage.

Ive always been heavy. When I was 15, I weighed about 80kg.

People would make fun of me. People treat me differently now, said Helmi, who mostly performs in concerts and TV programmes.

He just finished a gig as a guitarist for Ramli Sarip and Ella at Istana Budaya and played in the house band for TV show Gegar Vaganza and Mentor Milenia.

Helmi, who has a music degree from UiTM Shah Alam, credited Dr Ng for motivating him to lose weight, saying: She is a one-in-a million doctor who is an excellent motivator.

My wife is also very proud of me that I managed to lose weight and become a healthier person.

Dr Ng said after seeing Helmis successful weight loss, she too began fasting and taking on a low-carb diet and shared it with her patients.

As its not yet very popular among mainstream medicine practitioners, Im trying my best to share it. Hopefully, more people will benefit, she said.

Global Weight Loss Protein Market Projections, Future Opportunities Recorded For The Period Until 2027 - News Times

Welcome to You Got This, news.com.aus weekly slice of fitness inspiration featuring tips and advice from real women whove experienced it all.

At 110kg, Sophie Roberts never thought she was capable of leading a healthy lifestyle until she stuck by three steps that would ultimately change her life.

The Sydney mum was overweight most of her life and after the birth of her first child in 2016, her motivation and confidence would plummet, with her weight also hitting an all-time high.

I was embarrassed of how I looked that I hated clothes shopping. I was afraid to go into shops that only stocked regular sized clothes, Ms Roberts told news.com.au.

I would never willingly be in a full length photo, and was a pro at taking high-angle selfies to try to disguise how big I really was.

In fact, the new mum had even refused to take photos of herself with her newborn baby at the time.

I spent so much money on take away food and avoided outdoor activities or anything active, she said.

Her diet consisted of oversized portions of curry, rice or spaghetti, unforgiving amounts of vegemite, ham and cheese toasties and also leftover dinner meals.

Serving sizes were my biggest downfall, she added.

Ms Roberts, previously a registered nurse, explained that she missed out on so much due to her unhealthy lifestyle and it wasnt until she refused to be sitting on the sidelines when everything changed.

I avoided going out clubbing with my friends when I was younger because I was worried that I wouldnt be let into the club because of my size, she said.

I also avoided people from my past because I didnt want them to see how big Id gotten.

The 31-year-old had also avoided swimming and going to the beach or places that involved more than 100m of walking because Id get puffed and sweaty.

I missed out on so much, Ms Roberts said.

TURNING POINT 3 STEPS TO MUMS 45KG WEIGHT LOSS

The moment Ms Roberts decided to turn her life around was when she wanted to lose weight and be fit, more than she wanted to continue her unhealthy lifestyle.

Its a lot easier than I ever thought, Ms Roberts said.

The mother-of-two went on to lose 45kg over three years and has since maintained her healthy lifestyle.

When she began her transformation with The Healthy Mummy she was consuming 2100 calories before dropping down to 1600 after achieving her desired weight of 62kg.

She said it comes down to three main steps calorie counting, consistency and planning.

The number one thing I found was counting calories and not restricting yourself to 1200 calories a day as it isnt sustainable, but having enough to fuel your body and having the nutrients to function.

She combined that with walking, light at-home exercises through the programs app and also training sessions at her local Fernwood gym.

Ms Roberts said consistency and planning ahead, which she does every Sunday, is also key to her success.

Its about making health and fitness a part of your lifestyle you cant be motivated every single day, but if you have those habits, they will carry you through until that motivation comes back.

You will find her sparing about 20 minutes at the end of each week to meal plan, budget and customise her groceries to accommodate to both her and her familys needs.

Just start. Make small changes, like just replace one meal a day with a healthier option and slowly build on those changes, Ms Roberts advised.

HOW SOPHIES 45KG TRANSFORMATION CHANGED HER LIFE

Ms Roberts said her whole perspective on life has changed.

I know how to make healthy choices most days and how to enjoy occasional treats and meals without feeling guilty, she said.

I feel so much more confident in myself. The clothes that I choose to wear, the places I go, even the way I interact with others.

But it wasnt an easy mental journey, Ms Roberts admitted.

Changing my mindset from feeling like I was missing out on the lifestyle that I had previously which was so damaging, and learning to appreciate all the things I am gaining from living a healthy life, she said about challenges during her transformation.

Ms Roberts continues to stick to her daily calorie allowance, which she says gives her body plenty of energy while maintaining a calorie deficit.

RELATED: Brisbane mum loses 55kg after being overweight most of her life

Thats the key to weight loss. Its science. I use the Healthy Mummy App to

track all my food, she said.

I exercise two to three times a week with a mix of cardio and weights. I love walking and interval running, and also HIIT to keep things interesting.

Today, when she looks in the mirror, she sees a strong woman who has worked hard to achieve her dreams, a woman who loves herself enough to make herself a priority.

Creating healthy habits are what will get you to your goal and beyond, Ms Roberts said. Youre not going to feel motivated every day, but if you have those habits in place, you can keep going through the motions and getting closer to your goals.

Be your own motivation. You can achieve whatever you want to.

Mum weighing 110kg reveals 3 steps that led to 45kg weight loss | Photo - NEWS.com.au

CORONATION Street's Colson Smith wowed fans with his weight loss as he dressed to impress at a swanky awards ceremony.

The 21-year-old soap star looked noticeably slimmer in a slick three-piece suit and trainers at the TRIC Awards in London.

His on-screen character Craig Tinker is dropping pounds after being bullied by his fellow police officers for poor fitness.

The actor's fans were full of praise for his new look, with one commenting on an Instagram post from the bash: "You look ace.!!"

Another wrote: "Well done, you look great xxx."

A third shared: "Amazing achievement .You look amazing Well done you xxxx."

In December Colson lost a stone a half after getting food poisoning on holiday in Thailand.

He ignored the advice of his soap friends Jack P Shepherd (David Platt) and Ben Price (Nick Tisley), who warned him not to eat some seafood.

But being on the beach, he decided to tuck in anyway - to dire consequences, as he was only able to eat one banana and three slices of toast for a whole week.

Speaking on his podcast Sofa Cinema Club - which he hosts with Jack, 31, and Ben, 47 - the star said: "I was in Ko Lanta. I was sat on the beach and the waiter came over and was like, 'What would you like?' And I said, 'I'll have the prawns to start please.'

"I had avoided seafood [on Ben's advice] but I was sat on the beach and I was like, 'How can you not have seafood on the beach?'

7

"Well, anyway. I'm not doing that again. I've lost about a stone and a half. In seven days I've had one banana and three slices of toast. I'm on the mend now."

This wasn't without warning, as his older castmates tried to warn him of the dangers before he visited.

Colson said: "Ben told me off because I only booked my flight three days before I went and then Ben said, 'Have you had the jabs?' And I was like, 'What jabs?' "

Ben added: "[Colson said], 'What jabs? I've taken some paracetamol, I'll be fine.'

"The second thing I mentioned was, 'Don't eat the seafood.' Because you've got to be a bit careful."

7

The three Corrie actors are firm friends outside of their life on the ITV soap.

Colson lived with Jack for a year in Manchester until January, where Jack moved in with his girlfriend.

So Colson swapped him for his on-screen half-brother and moved in with Ben instead.

Jack previously mentioned how much he helps Colson around the house, saying: "I live with Colson - and that's a challenge.

"I have to teach him about life and things, and I do his washing."

X Factor star Lucy Spraggan has hit back at trolls as she showcased her incredible weight loss transformation.

The singer, who shot to fame back in 2012 on the singing competition, hit back after receiving negative comments about her taste in clothing as she revealed her dramatic weight loss.

Taking to Twitter, Lucy, 28, shared a photo of herself showing off how big her trousers are as she stretched them out while sporting a crisp white shirt.

But one fan, who Lucy replied to, hit out: You dress like a 50yrs old lawyer whos due in court youre only young but your dress sense is terrible, youve done so well in getting yourself healthy but why change what you wear, youve changed to much of yourself. Surely your old taste in clothing was more real?!

Lucy then hit back at the remarks, writing: You think I wear bespoke suits every day? Even if I did, why the f**k would it have anything to do with you?

Ive been working with King and Allen since I was a porker, love. I have no idea why losing weight has encouraged people to make open comments about me. Stop it.

Lucy appeared on Lorraine last year where she discussed her weight loss as revealed exactly how she shed the weight.

While showing off before and after photos of herself, Lucy revealed how she had slimed down by cutting out the three Bs in her diet - beer, biscuits and bread.

Lucy said: The three B's I had to knock them on the head. I had been in a bad place for a long time, I've been very open about that... I looked at pictures before and physically I was in a bad place."

The singer then joked that she was surprised that no one had told her that she looked awful.

Earlier this year the musician revealed she had lost a whopping two stone, telling Guilty Pleasures: I have lost over 2st in weight by cutting the three Bs Beer, bread and biscuits.

Ive got a personal trainer, dyed my hair, straightened my teeth and my confidence has soared.

Ive turned a corner in my life and I dont really give a f**k anymore, and that comes across in how I look."
