Weight Loss: There is no magic solution to losing weight. It ultimately boils down to using more calories than you take in. However, with that being said there are many ways and methods to doing this. First, you need to see your doctor to make sure there are no medical reasons for your weight and to make sure you are healthy enough to exercise and follow a calorie restriction program. Medications may help.

Healthy choices: 5-7 servings of fruits and vegetables a day. 3-5 ounces of lean meat, chicken or fish as protein, or eggs, or 1 cup of milk. Complex carbohydrates in the form of whole grains, should make up 1/4 of your plate servings. 1/2 your plate should be fresh fruits and or vegetables. And 1/4 of your plate should be protein. Beans and legumes are also healthy carbohydrates. Avoid too much fat, fried foods.
