Losing Weight: The next step that will work for you is that you must write down or keep a food diary of all you eat. There are numerous websites that will take this and give you a sense of how many calories and what type of calories you are ingesting. If you are eating more than 1800 calories in a day you may not lose any weight. If your carbohydrate intake is more than 25% of your calories you may not lose.

Set a goal: Calculate your BMR (basal metabolic rate), current weight x 13 and subtract 500 (daily total calories) for every pound of weight you want to lose each week. Do a minimum of 20 minute duration exercise to increase your BMR for 48 hours. High protein low carb low fat diet and drink 64 oz water daily. Multivitamins and remove low glycemic index carbohydrates from diet.
