Remember
1. Fundamentals! This book is based on proper nutrition fundamentals, explaining how
to can take control of your calorie intake to lose 5kg in 5weeks. These same principles
can be applied to say 1kg in a month, 20kg per year or any other goal you may have.
2. You must read this ebook in its entirety: I wrote this book to provide you with step
by step instructions that need to be read and fully understood. Take your time to read
through the steps and if you have any questions, you can always contact me on my
website
3. This book is not a one plan for all. If you follow the steps provided, everyone will have
developed a unique plan.
4. Results may vary. They always do. Some of you may lose 2, 3, 5 or 8kg over 5 weeks.
The outline of the book focuses on the theoretical steps one needs to take in order to
lose 5kgs in 5weeks but as it is impossible to follow it 100%. 5kg is the benchmark, you
can lose more if you understand the steps that I will explain.
5. Think long term. Now this is key. No matter how successful you were over this 5weeks,
you should have learned about how to control and create
a calorie deficit/balance that you should apply beyond the
5weeks. This way you dont only lose the weight but you
also keep it off ... for good!
6. Exercise, although is optional, is highly encouraged and will
be used throughout this ebook.
Who is it for?
For everyone really. Male. Female. Young and old but hey, if you
have a medical history have doubts, do consult your physicians before embarking on any kind of diet.
Is it difficult?
I would call it mildly spicy. Its not easy nor too difficult to lose 5kgs
in 5weeks.

Wanting to lose
and actually knowing how to are very
different things.
You MUST know the
how before you
can lose weight!
KevinZahri.com 2010
There is a big
difference between
how many you need
to sustain vs how
many you need to
lose weight ... but
we will address this
problem in chapter
2.
For your weight or nutrition, your Daily Calorie Requirement (DCR) will tell you
how much you can generally eat per day to sustain your current weight. Just
like your salary, its a baseline to plan your diet.
Spend more than you earn and youll be in debt. Eat more than you need and,
yes, you will gain weight. But if you dont know how much you actually can eat,
how are you supposed to budget your food?
For this, you must have your DCR in check.
How to calculate your DCR?
Your daily calorie requirement is dependent on 4 + 1 factors:
Age: The older you become, the fewer calories you need because the
natural metabolic rate slows down
Weight: The more you weigh, the more calories your body needs to
keep alive (just as a heavier car consumes more fuel); this is also why
people find it harder to lose weight after dropping a few pounds
Height: The taller your are the more effort it takes for your body to
nutrients, blood up and down.
Sex: Males generally require more energy compared to women, having
been intended by Nature to do the heavier work
Level of Activity: Keeping fit ensures that you have more calories (energy) going out; being active also plays a big role in lifting your overall
metabolic rate
KevinZahri.com 2010
A man typically
requires more calories per day than a
woman given that
everything else is
constant.
Age: 32 yrs
Based on this
calculation, Adam
would need 2,464
calories from food
to sustain his daily
activities.
Weight: 78kg
Sex: Male
Height: 175cm
Note:
You should calculate your own daily calorie requirement.
KevinZahri.com 2010
438 calories in 8 hr
650 calories in 8 hr
143 calories in 1 hr
154 calories in 1 hr
122 calories in 1 hr
82 calories in 30 min
102 calories in 30 min
94 calories in 30 min
72 calories in 30 min
278 calories in 30 min
82 calories in 30 min
113 calories in 2 hr
2,330 Calories in 24 hrs
Based in this sample, Adam burns about 2,330 calories per day. Now the next
part is interesting.
Test Your Knowledge
Assuming that Adam consume 2,464 calories per day and burns
2,330 calories, will he lose, maintain or gain weight?
He will gain weight. How much? Well he will gain 134 calories
(2,464 - 2,330). We also know that 7,700 calories is 1kg so 134
calories works out to be 17.4g.
So if his weight was 75kg, his weight tomorrow would be 75.017kg.
Sure its not much but over time, it adds up!
KevinZahri.com 2010

2. How many
calories are in
1kg?
3. How many
calories do you
need per day.
If you dont, please go back to chapter 1. Otherwise, We will look at how you
can lose 5kg in 5weeks in three steps:
If you wanted to
lose 5kg over a year,
youd only need a
calorie deficit of
105 compared to
our 1100 calories
over 5 weeks. Well
that is the sacrifice
of speedier weight
loss.
As you can see from table, weight loss gets easier when you break it down over
longer periods.
It is not easy.
Fact!
In order for you to lose 5kgs in 5 weeks, you need an average daily calorie
deficit of 1,100!
KevinZahri.com 2010
11
In order to lose
weight quickly and
safely, it needs to
be a combination of
exercise and nutrition!
Exercise
550 Calories
Total Deficit
1,100 Calories
KevinZahri.com 2010
To lose 5kg in 5
weeks, we are going
to adjust our diet
so that 2.5kg alone
come from changes
in your diet.

It is extremely
important to have
control over what
you are consuming.
Control is everything!
Firstly, lets take a look at what you are eating today. Simply list down everything. To continue with our case study, following is a sample table of what
Adam consumes in a day.

So based on this, we now know that our case study - Adam, consume some
2,845 calories per day. That is more than his current DCR, so obviously based
on this, he will gain weight.
Lets look at the most important step ...
KevinZahri.com 2010
15
Making changes
to your diet is not as
difficult as people
think! It is all about
know how.
I will show you
where and how to
eliminate calories
that will help you
lose weight and still
be able to enjoy
your foods!
Great. We now have Adams typical food intake - 2,845 calories. From chapter
2, we also know that his DCR is 2,464 calories. We now can make the following
conclusions.
1. Adam is gaining weight! At a rate of (2,845 - 2,464) 381 calories per
day.
2. In order for Adam to create a calorie deficit of 550 and lose 50% of 5kg
in 5 weeks, he can only consume (2,464 - 550) or 1,914 calorie.
Adam Diet Changes 931 Calorie
To keep Adams calorie output/input in line with our 5kg in 5weeks goal, we
need to help him reduce 931 calories (550 + 381) from his current intake.
10 Quick tips to Save Calories:
Following are some tips to help Adam and yourself get rid of calories so that
you can create that deficit but still enjoy your food.
1. Get rid of calories from drinks: this alone can save up 200-300 calories
per day if not more.
2. Stick to white rice. Forget about fried rice, nasi lemak etc for now.
3. Increase your protein intake. Proteins are a lot more filling than carbs.
4. Go easy on fruits. They contain calories too.
5. Avoid fried, breaded or foods with high fat content. 1g of fat is 9 calories! More than double that off protein and carbohydrates.
6. No treats for now. Try to forget about desserts and junk food during
this 5 weeks period. Keep focused on your goal!
7. Know your calories. Do your research and eliminate foods/drinks that
you dont need.
8. Go with half servings! Instead of drinking 1 glass of teh tarik, why not
opt for just half a glass, that alone can save you plenty of calories.
9. Work in healthy snacks. This is especially useful when you are working.
Make sure you have healthy snacks available.
10. Learn to adapt. Change can be hard but make sure you allow your
body (taste buds) to get used to the changes.

The Result?
Well, Adams new meal plan still allows him
to eat and hey, he can still enjoy his teh tarik
after all. You too should analyze your food
intake, breakdown the calories and make
changes that suit you so that your daily calorie deficit is at least 550 calories.
1,655
Heathy Choices
For Adam his deficit actually is
(2,464 - 1,655) or 809 calories. This will only help him
lose more weight in 5weeks!
Pretty cool huh.
KevinZahri.com 2010
17
Exercise can
help you lose weight
faster without strict
dieting.
From step 3, we choose to break the calorie deficit for diet and exercise evenly.
Hence we need to find ways to increase our calorie output by at least 550 calories per day.
To accomplish this we need to address the following questions:
How much exercise is 550 calories?
What exercises to do?
How long to do them?
How often to exercise?
What if you dont want to exercise?
KevinZahri.com 2010
18
Bottom line is it doesnt matter what exercise you choose as long as you do
it long enough to burn 550 calories.
How often?
5-6 Times Per
Week
In order to burn an
additional 550 calories
per day from exercise,
I would recommend
5-6 exercise 40 minute
sessions per week.
KevinZahri.com 2010
19
No, you dont have to. If you decide not to include exercise in your weight loss
program, you need to make sure that your 1,100 calories deficit comes from
dieting alone.
Sure its harder but well, it is what it is.
10 Ways to Increase Your Calorie Output Without Exercise
For those who decide not to exercise or those looking to find ways to burn
more calories, following are some easy ways to increase your calorie output.
1. Take the stairs: every flight of stairs burns some 5 calories. Hey, 5
calories is better than nothing.
2. Park further away, forcing you to walk more. Basically, walk whenever and wherever you can.
3. Eat more frequently. By eating more frequently, as you should in
the first place, your body is always processing food which translates
to being more active.
4. Eat spicy food. This Heats up the body, making it burn more calories.
5. Sex up your life. Sex is a great exercise which burns plenty of calories.
6. Laugh. It helps to de stress and burns calories as well.
7. Coffee and other metabolic supplements help to increase your
calorie output. (More about this in the following chapter)
8. Play with your kids, especially if you are a parent. Not only helps
you bond with your child but is actually a great exercise as well
9. Window shopping aint all that bad. The more you walk, the more
calories you burn.
10. Housekeeping. Cleaning your house, laundry etc all can be a form
of exercise.
KevinZahri.com 2010
20
Worst case scenario: Nothing changes. You lose 5kgs through nutrition
and/or exercise along and wasted RM200 for nothing.
Bottom Line: Whatever the outcome, you dont want your life/weight
to depend on supplements. Long term, you need to be able to manage
your weight (loss) through proper nutrition and exercise.
Before and After Pictures
They sure look great and are a big reason most are tricked into making a
purchase. Dont get tricked by the misleading before & after pictures. These
pictures dont lie but dont tell you the whole story.
What they tell you ...these test subjects use the fat burner.
What they dont tell you ...these subject were put under extreme diet programs, intensive exercise plans and lastly the supplements.
KevinZahri.com 2010
21
For weight loss, there are plenty of choices around but all of these fall into on
of two categories:
Fat Burners
Protein Supplements (Meal Replacements)
Fat Burner
There are various types of fat burners but most are thermo based.
How Thermo based Fat Burners Work
They use caffeine (guarana) and other stimulants to naturally elevate your
metabolism. So say,
DCR w/out Fat burner: 2300 calories
DCR w fat burner: 2400 calories
So in theory, the fat burner can help you burn an additional 100 calories per
day. Thats 3,100 per month or 0.4kg. Results obviously vary depending on
how your body reacts to the stimulants.
Again, worst case scenario, your DCR with or without the fat burner remains
unchanged.
Weight Loss & Fat Burner Supplement Types
Following is a list of fat burners and how they work.
Fat Burner Type
Thermogenic
Fat Blocker
Carb Blocker
Fat Creams
Appetite Suppressant
Others
KevinZahri.com 2010
22
Meal Replacements
Meal replacements packets (MRP) are similar to protein supplements but
instead of just protein, MRPs include carbohydrates and fats to make up a
balanced meal - hence the work meal replacement.
How they help you lose weight? Well not directly like say fat burners but:
MRPs take the guessing work out of the equation.
You dont have to worry about cooking or preparing a healthy meal.
They generally low calorie meals.
Often contain complex carbohydrates and fibers that keep you full.
