00:00Hey everyone, welcome back to OnStarter.
00:02Today, we're diving into a question that many of you have been asking, how long does
00:06it take to lose 5 kgs of fat?
00:09Whether you're aiming for a weight loss goal or just curious about the process, we're
00:13going to break it down for you, so, let's get into it.
00:17First things first, it's important to understand that losing fat is not the same as losing
00:22weight.
00:23Weight loss can come from losing fat, muscle, or water.
00:26For this video, we're specifically talking about fat loss.
00:30The general rule of thumb is that a safe and sustainable rate of fat loss is about 0.5
00:35to 1 kg per week.
00:37This means that to lose 5 kgs of fat, it could take anywhere from 5 to 10 weeks, but remember,
00:43this is just a rough estimate.
00:45Several factors can influence how quickly you lose fat.
00:48Let's go over them.
00:501.
00:51Caloric deficit To lose fat, you need to consume fewer calories
00:54than you burn.
00:55This is called a caloric deficit.
00:57Generally, creating a deficit of 500 to 1,000 calories per day can lead to a loss of about
01:030.5 to 1 kg per week.

01:07Exercise Incorporating both cardio and strength training
01:09into your routine can help accelerate fat loss.
01:13Cardio burns calories, while strength training builds muscle, which can boost your metabolism.

01:19Diet quality The quality of your diet matters.
01:22Focus on nutrient-dense foods like vegetables, fruits, lean proteins, and whole grains, avoid
01:28excessive processed foods and sugary drinks.
01:304.
01:31Metabolism Everyone's metabolism is different.
01:34Factors like age, genetics, and muscle mass can affect how quickly you burn fat.

01:40Consistency and patience Sustainable fat loss takes time.
01:44Consistency in your diet and exercise routine is key, don't be discouraged by minor fluctuations
01:49or slow progress.
01:51So, in summary, losing 5 kgs of fat can typically take between 5 to 10 weeks, depending on your
01:57individual circumstances.
01:59It's important to approach fat loss in a healthy and sustainable way.
02:03Here are a few tips to help you along the way.
02:06Track your progress with measurements and photos, not just the scale.
