The plan is designed to help you lose weight at a safe rate of 0.5kg to 1kg (1lb to 2lb) each week by sticking to a daily calorie allowance. For most men, this means sticking to a calorie limit of no more than 1,900kcal a day, and 1,400kcal for most women. The weight loss plan is broken down into 12 weeks. It is full of healthy eating, diet and physical activity advice, including weekly challenges. Each week contains a food and activity chart to help you record your calories, exercise and weight loss so you can see how well you're doing at a glance. If you're using the downloadable PDFs, print the chart out at the start of your week. Stick it somewhere you can see it, such as the fridge or a kitchen cupboard, and update it at the end of each day.
