The approach you should be taking is from a scientific standpoint, don’t worry anyone can do this and you certainly don’t have to be a doctor to understand it.

ALTHOUGH YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE A DOCTOR TO

UNDERSTAND THE WEIGHT LOSS PROCESS YOU SHOULD

NEVER UNDERTAKE A WEIGHT LOSS PROGRAM AND A DIET

CHANGE WITHOUT FIRST CONSULTING YOUR PERSONAL

PHYSICIAN.

Make sure you eat from all food groups but eat smaller meals, say 5 to 6 meals per day to keep your energy levels balanced. When we severely restrict calories our bodies think we are starving so the body will begin hoarding fat. So to avoid that evolutionary mechanism response we need to work in alignment with our body and feed it good food frequently. Your body won’t think that it’s being starved or deprived and it will allow you to lose the weight.

So how can we lose weight by eating? We can do this simply by monitoring our caloric intake. Did you know that if you can create a 500-calorie deficit every day from just your diet and exercise that you will be able to lose around a pound of fat per week?

A pound is great, it doesn’t sound like much however remember how I mentioned before that volume for volume fat by far takes up more room than muscle tissue. That means that every pound you lose you are losing bulk and rolls from your body. This is why that even if you lose fat you notice your clothes getting looser, because fat actually occupies more space than muscle. Keep that in mind when you weigh yourself. The scale isn’t always an accurate reflection of your true fat loss.

The Number Of Calories You Consume

Every food you consume has a caloric value associated with it. To really lose weight you need to create a deficit of calories every day. For example, if you eliminate 250 calories each day from your diet either by eating a little less or by removing high sugar, high fat foods and you exercise and burn off 250 extra calories per day you can lose up to 3,500 calories per week which totals one pound of fat lost.
