Most people know that in order to lose weight you have to eat less calories than your body expends in a day. We all need to eat proper foods and enough food to keep you healthy. The key is to eat food with less calories but high nutritional value.
1) You need to eat a lot of fruits and vegetables. The key is to get at least least five portions a day. Fruits and vegetables provide vitamins, minerals and fiber. Starchy foods like bread, potatoes, rice and pasta, especially whole grain products with a high content on satiating fiber.
2) Eat less animal products and when you must eat meat choose leaner cuts of meat and fish and lower fat versions of dairy products like milk and cheese.
3) Watch your fat intake. when using oil go for olive oil rather than vegetable oil. If you cut out all sweets it might be difficult to stick to a diet. So don’t cut out all sweets just watch what you eat.
4) Drink a lot of water. You should drink at least two liters a day. One way to curb your appetite is to stay hydrated.

It takes -3500 calories to loose a pound, which means you need to both burn calories by working out & take less calories in by eating in order to loose weight.
Eat fruits & veggies of course. It’s typical to eat a small breakfast and a big dinner, but my health teacher said you actually want to do the opposite. And never skip breakfast, it helps you loose weight. I stopped drinking pop and lost 50 pounds in 1 year!! Don’t drink juice. You’d think fruit juice is good for you, but its not. It has alot of sugar and extra calories. People say dont eat carbs’ not true, 60% of your diet is supposed to be from some type of carbs… just make sure you eat whole grain or whole wheat bread. And drink only skim milk, all others aren’t so great for you. Just watch what you eat and pay attention to nutrition labels!
Make sure you do some weight bearing activities along with cardio, it’ll help build muscle and burn fat! If you cant buy a gym membership try going for a walk or run outside, doing jumping jacks, jump rope, running up & down your stairs, lifting weights, doings situps & pushups.. those are just some ideas that’ll help!
