There
are only a few principles to follow to lose weight. Adhere to these and you will
lose weight at a sensible level of 1-2 pounds per week and, most importantly,
stay healthy.

If
you want to count calories, stick to no more than 1,500 for a woman and
2,000 for a man. Never eat less than 1,000 calories per day.
|
|
If
you want to count fat, stick to no more than 40 grams per day for a woman,
50 for a man. If you are losing weight too slowly, cut back on the fat,
but never go below 15 grams a day. You could also try cutting back on the
level of carbohydrate you are eating.
|
|
Try
to stick to a ratio of 40% carbohydrates, 30% protein and 30% fat for your
food intake.
|
|
Exercise
aerobically at least 3 times a week, for no less than 20 minutes.
|
|
Eat
at least 2 portions of fruit and 3 portions of vegetables per day.
|
|
Drink
6-8 glasses of water per day.
|
It's
as simple as that. There are no magic formulas or miracles. If you expend more
energy than you eat, you will lose weight.
