Weight Loss
Q: Hi Weight loss ABC, my name is Darren and I desperately need to lose weight. Are there any step by step instructions or program on how to do it?
- Do I first need to lose fat and than gain lift weight?
- What should I eat? What type of food? Any suggestions?
- What type of training or exercise should I be doing? Cardio?
Thanks!
A: First, there is no secret on how to lose weight. The main thing you should always remember is this: eat less calories than you burn. That's the key to success of losing weight.
We reccomend you to use this simple formula: take your weight in pounds. Multiply that by 10. If you can eat that number of calories, you should lose weight!
Let's take an example: if you weigh 150 pounds, you need to eat 1500 calories per day.
As for healthy eating, you should attempt to eat a balanced diet. Below you can find a brilliant Food Pyramid provided and by recommended by the USDA (Dietary Guidelines for Americans).
For general health reasons do cardio exercises (pushups, chinups, lunges, squats, swimming), but your main and primary strategy should be to restrict your calories.
Here is a great ebook that we are highly recommending for you to have. Hope this helps.
Good Luck!
