To lose weight, you need to make calories burned more than calories you are taking in. You need to figure out how many calories you burn during your typical exercise routine, and then start counting calories and measuring portion sizes to get food caloric count. You can also utilize one of the many calorie calculators available online.
Weight loss is a matter of simple math: the calories burned must exceed the calories taken in. A meal plan for weight loss should include the proper amount of food from the five basic food groups with selections being made based on the value of the food in terms of nutrients, fiber, good carbs, protein, etc. It takes a lot of information, planning and organization to create a weight loss that results in sustained weight loss.

There is no "weight loss formula" that guarantees magical weight loss. Weight loss is about expending more calories than you take in. You do not have to exercise to burn calories; your body burns calories while you sleep, sit, watch TV, etc. Calculate your caloric needs based on your current weight. Then, decrease that caloric intake. For every 3500 calories you short yourself each week, you will lose one pound. Depending on your current weight, you could lose up to 2 pounds a week; more than that is not safe and will ultimately slow the weight loss process. This site tells you how to calculate your caloric needs: www.healthyweightforum.org/eng/calculators/calories-required/ The federal government has a number of free sites to help educate and inform the public on diet, balanced nutrition and weight loss. All are comprehensive, easy to navigate and well worth the time: www.nutrition.gov (see "Weight Management" on the left-side menu) AND www.mypyramid.gov AND win.niddk.nih.gov/publications/myths.htm AND
