What can be done to shed pounds eating healthy?

Slowly: A sign you are actually losing fat weight is 1-2 pounds per week tops. More is a sign you are merely losing water and/or lean muscle mass - probably not what you want to loose when you are trying to lose weight.

Shed pounds: Eat healthfully. Try to eat at least 5 servings of vegetables & 4 of fruit per day. Increase nutritional fiber. Avoid refined sugar & junk carbohydrates. Avoid alcohol, sweetened juices, soda & caffeinated beverages. Aim for 7.5 to 8 hrs of sleep / night. Hydrate w at least 64 oz of water / day. Calories burned must > calories consumed. Do both cardio & weight training.
