Weight loss is very complicated. The easiest concept is that calories are energy and excess food calories are stored as fat. If eat less calories than you use through the day, your system will take fat and use for energy =weight loss. Exercise burns calories/ muscle uses more calories, so aerobic and weight training are helpful. Do 3 smart choices every day= 2 dietary + 1 exercise. Repeat!

Weight loss often depends on the starting weight, the activity level of the individual - immobilized by surgery or a fracture, how long the weight has been a problem, and having realistic goals. You should have a baseline physical with your internist or family doctor to screen for medical issues (usually fine) and then to start a project of working on your health. Frequent appointments help.
