How to Lose Weight By Eating Fruits

Recommended Answer:

The fewest you should go is 1200 kcal but personally i think kcal counting is the worst thing for weight loss it just makes you paranoid. I suggest you just watch your portions and go for a proper run/jog everyday.The first answerer advice wont get you anywhere if you want to keep it off you need to eat a reasonable amount and exercise. Thats the lazy thinspo way and trust me those girls end up fat later on, they starve till they get to their goal then start eating as usual and the body just stores more and burns less.

• As few as you can. Otherwise you are going to have to actually EXERCISE.

• Okay....to lose weight your calorie intake will be related to the amount of exercise you do and the type of exercise it is. If you're simply walking for an hour that is definitely adequate. As a matter of fact, a brisk walk is actually preferable to many other workout options. I lost the weight and kept it off by following a weight loss program...davidbensonoriginals.com....that actually did the work for me. The key was I never went hungry and lost 80 pounds in 6 months and kept it off. That might not work for you, but it sure worked for me. It addressed the calorie issue. The key is you should follow a definite program. I tried just eating less and exercising, but without some kind of guidance nothing seemed to work. You've obviously got a ways to go but don't get down...it can and will be done. Keep the faith.
