What diet to follow to get slim?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Eat less: Eat less calories than you need to maintain your weight but dont restrict calories too much cause you body will go into starvation mode and lower your resting energy metabolism. I would recommend about 2000 calories a day for someone your age. Try to get about 400 -500calories from protein, 1200 calories from complex carbohydrates like fresh fruits and vegetables. 400 calories from good fats, .
