Calories are relative meaning some calories are good ones, and some are not. Good calories come from lean meats, vegetables and other healthy natural foods. Useless calories come from baked goods, pastas, processed foods and fast foods. An average sized man, let's say 5'11" in height, that's 40 pounds overweight should begin by cutting his caloric intake to a minimum of 1800 calories per day. This person is certainly consuming at least 3000 calories or more per day to be overweight by 40 lbs. After 30 days the body metabolizes so the calories can now be reduced to 1600 per day. In 30 more days the calories can be reduced to about 1550 calories where they should remain for optimal weight loss.

In 30 more days the calories can be reduced to about 1400 calories where they should remain for optimal weight loss. Additionally, this person should walk for 30 minutes per day, everyday, this ends up being about a mile and a half. Walking can be boring so try getting a dog. If you want to lose weight you'll have to cut the calories and walk.
