Specializes in Nutrition

Depends: low fat doesn't necessarily mean low calorie. In order to lose weight- your intake in calories must be less than your expenditure- Activity- helps with losing weight- cause it raises your metabolism and burns calories in the process. Consult a dietician to devise a plan if youre interested in a low fat diet.
