How many daily calories should i eliminate from my diet if i want to lose two hundred pounds?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lose slowly: Eliminate 500-1000 calories a day and you will lose 1-2 pounds a week. It may take up to 2 years to lose the weight, but that is the safest and most effective way to do it. If you increase activity and are active most days of the week, that will add to your weight loss.
