depends your age, gender, and level of physical exertion.
A man needs 2500 calories per day (all depends on level of exercise though) and a woman needs 2000. Just eat less than these values and you will begin to lose weight. Bear in mind there are 3500 calories in a pound, so if a woman ate 1500 calories worth of food per day, in a week she would lose 1 pound. Couple with exercise to lose even more weight, and drink 2 Litres of water per day, it will help you keep fuller for longer.
