How to LOSE weight?

First, determine from the information below, what your weight should be. Then set yourself goals of a week, 2 weeks, a month, 3 months, 6 months and a year. As you see yourself meeting your goals it becomes easier. Remember, you didn’t gain your weight overnight so don’t expect to lose if overnight. Plus, weight lost slowly is more likely to stay off than weight lost in a hurry.

BMI (Body Mass Index) is a measurement of body fat based on height and weight that applies to both men and women between the ages of 18 and 65 years.

30 to 34.99 Obesity (Class 1)
35 to 39.99 Obesity (Class 2)

“How can I Lose 1 pound of body weight per week?”

One pound of body fat is equal to about 3500 calories. So to lose 1 pound of weight per week, you need to eat 500 calories/day LESS than you burn.

But it’s not a good idea to lose weight simply by cutting calories. As well as decreasing calories you should increase your daily physical exercise. This helps to burn calories and build more lean tissue which in turn burns more calories.

“What should a minimum calorie intake be?”

As a guide to minimum calorie intake, the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) recommends that calorie levels never drop below 1200 calories per day for women or 1800 calories per day for men. Even these calorie levels are quite low.

Another thing that helps to lose weight is to always eat a good breakfast. That helps to jump start your metabolism which helps start burning calories. Also, try to drink 8 eight ounce glasses of water every day. One before every meal (except breakfast) and before all snacks. That helps curb your appetite which helps reduce caloric intake.

I can’t tell you what to eat but I can tell you what’s best for you. I am also a vegetarian so I had to learn what I could and could not eat whenever I decided to go on a diet. Get veggy burgers they have very little greasy hardly any actually and it gives with like 12-15 grams of protein very healthy, instead of like pudding or some other unhealthy stuff for dessert do what I do cut up some bananas and strawberries put them in a cup or a bowl and for alittle sweet flavoring add whiped cream not to much though, Eat 3 meals and 3 small snacks of like fruit of a peanut butter and jelly sandwhich or something. Basically eat anything that ou want just check like the protein and carbs and fat and stuff and you’ll be fine and don’t eat so much it will help trust me. You will loose weight and have more energy

It’s not all about eating you have to excersice also. { did I spell that right}
