Some basics.: Drink at least 8 - 8 ounce glasses of water per day. Eat foods with high fiber content. 5 servings of veggies and 4 servings of fruit per day. Stay away from junk food, sodas and alcohol. Insure that calories burned exceed calories consumed.

Eat healthy,eat less: To lose a pound a week, eat 500 calories less a day than you regularly eat. This can be accomplished by increasing your consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables to 5-7 servings a day. Have at least two servings of fruits and vegetables at each meals, and vegetables generally have less calories than fruit.
