Ben: Did I?

Ben: That's true.

Ben: I'm not sure... What do you suggest?
Anna: I think if you cut down on fats, your weight decrease. Also, your health become much better if there is a reduction in fat intake.

To start a healthy lifestyle and lose weight, it is important to focus on reducing fat consumption. By doing so, Ben can achieve his goal of losing 10 kilos.

First, Ben should be aware of the types of fats he is consuming. Saturated and Trans fats are unhealthy and should be significantly reduced or avoided altogether. Ben should opt for healthier fats found in foods like avocados, nuts, and fish.

In addition to cutting down on fats, Ben should aim to eat a balanced diet consisting of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. This will provide him with the necessary nutrients for his body while keeping his calorie intake in check.

Regular exercise is also crucial for weight loss and overall health improvement. Ben should engage in physical activities such as brisk walking, jogging, or cycling. These activities will help burn calories and increase metabolism.

It's important for Ben to set realistic goals and track his progress along the way. He can keep a food journal to monitor his daily calorie intake and make necessary adjustments. Additionally, he can use a fitness tracker to keep track of his exercise routines and see how many calories he is burning.

As for the timeline, losing 1-2 pounds (0.5-1 kilo) per week is considered a healthy and sustainable rate of weight loss. By following these steps consistently, Ben will likely see a noticeable change in his weight and overall health by the end of the year.

Remember, it's crucial for Ben to stay motivated and committed to his healthy lifestyle. Having support from friends and family can also make the process easier.
