Simple Tips To Lose Weight And Burn Calories

Recommanded Answer:
The problem with eating as little as possible is all you'll lose is water weight, not fat. Losing weight/fat is about 80% what you eat, so look at what you're eating. Completely stop the junk/fast/fried foods and focus on eating a variety of healthy foods including fruits and vegetables, but also lean proteins (chicken, turkey, fish, lean beef, plain greek yogurt), healthy fats (olive oil, avocado, nuts, hummus), brown rice, oatmeal, milk, low fat cheese, whole wheat bread, etc.

You sure didn't give yourself much time to lose, but I can't tell you how many calories to eat because you didn't provide your age, but download the My Fitness Pal app (or go to the website) and select the option to lose 2lbs per week and it will tell you how many calories to eat each day. You'll probably want to eat more protein than what the app says because they only tell you to eat 15% protein. If you're consistently going over on protein, this is a GREAT thing!

Also, exercise at least an hour a day - maybe even twice a day. Go running or jogging or jump rope or ride your bike or a mixture of all those. You'll want to elevate your heart rate, which will help burn fat. Note that if you are tracking your calories, you'll also want to track your exercise, so the app will encourage you to eat more calories. This is because you're already eating at a deficit. If you don't eat your exercise calories back, you will be eating too little and not lose weight. Your body could go into starvation mode, which is not where you want to be. Good luck!x
