>>1048890>Calories in/Calories outThe problem is that as you eat less your metabolism slows down. The key is to eat better, not just less of the same garbage.
You can start with three things:
1. Eat slowly and stop when you're satisfied
2. Less Sugar (desserts, juice, etc) and alcohol
3. Low intensity cardio (get a polar heart rate monitor and stay in the green zone). Walk/run, swim, hike, elliptical machine, whatever. Start with 20 min 3x/week. Slowly increase, there is essentially no cap.
The more often you implement these strategies, the more successful you will be. So if you cut out sugar for 75% of your meals, that's a start. 90%, that's better. Just remember with sugar, the more you take in, the more you want. So often it's just easier to avoid it altogether.
