Weight?: To lose weight, you must eat and exercise. Weight loss is 70% diet. What most do is eat less. Yes, they lose weight but it's all muscle they are losing. The idea is you want to retain muscle and lose fat. Yes? That will take a great committment. Create a diet with 60 % protein, 25% carbs (most of those being fiber) and 15% fats (healthy fats). Eat a meal every 3 hours to keep metabolism up.

Slow, steady & smart: Recommend that calories burned exceed calories in. Drinking at least 8 8 ounce glasses per day is important for both hydration and weight control. Try to get in whole foods (fiber) as well as 5 servings of vegetables and 4 servings of fruit per day. Physical activity is essential. At least 8 hours of sleep per night helps. Aim for at least 30 minutes of aerobic activity at least 5 days per week
