Weight Loss: There is only one way to lose weight. Your caloric intake must be lower than your caloric usage. The typical american diet consists of over 3, 000 calories per day. By cutting out things as simple as pop and replacing it with water you can cut a lot of calories. The website- http://exrx.Com will help you to calculate your daily calorie need.

Diet and exercise: We would need to know your height, and also it would be beneficial to know your current activity level as well. But for an example let us say you are 5'5" and currently sedentary (no regularl exercise). Your basal metabolic rate would be 1, 433 calories per day which is the number of calories your body burns at rest. Your daily calorie needs would be 1, 720. Eat less than that & exercise more!
