The stabilizing diet starts immediately after the completion of the slimming diet. The main purpose of the Stabilizing Diet is to stabilize your weight after the slimming diet.

During this period, your daily intake will slightly increase to approximately 800 and 1200 calories a day. Your personal Counsellor will adjust your daily diet and continue to monitor your progress in this period.

CALORIE ASSESSMENT

Calorie Assessment estimates the total calories your body burns in a day. This includes all the calories your body uses in 24 hours.

Once you figure out how many calories your body burns in a day, you should establish a daily calories target based on your goal.

Should you wish to maintain your weight, your target calories will be the total calories that your body burns in a day. If you wish to continue losing weight, your calories target should be less than what your body burns as following:-

To lose 500g/week:   Cut 500 calories/day
To lose 1kg/week:      Cut 1000 calories/day

HOW TO CALCULATE YOUR CALORIE GOAL

The calculation relies on a key value known as a MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task). Every activity has its own MET value. Input the MET value into your calories formula to get the calorie burn for a specific activity. As you lose weight, you may want to run the calorie target calculation again, as your calorie needs will have changed.

  • Step 1
    Calculate your weight in kilograms.
  • Step 2
    Look up the MET Value of the activity that you performed. For example, general jogging has a MET value of 7.0.
  • Step 3
    Multiply the MET value by weight in kilograms give you the calories burned for such activity in an hour. For example, if your weight 60 kilograms and perform an activity like general jogging with a MET value of 7.0, this would give you 420 calories burned for such activity in an hour.
  • Step 4
    Multiply the calories burned by the time your performed the activity in hours to get the number of calories you burned. For example, if you perform general jogging for 30 minutes then you would multiply 420 by 0.5 to get 210 calories.
  • Step 5
    Sum up the total calories needed in a day (24 hours) and plan your daily diet accordingly.
