Weight loss tips please? i have gained about a pound a week since starting this job 4 mo ago.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Diet exercise: A pound a week means you are eating about 500 calories a day more than you are burning. That may sound like a lot, but it's not. For the next week, take stock of what you're eating. Add up the calories, then figure out where you can shave off 500. Change your beverage? Smaller snack? Less alcohol? And get some physical activity. A walk at lunch. Take the stairs, etc.
