catman Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 When one remembers that 3500 calories = 1 pound of weight, it is relatively easy to understand how to lose weight. Decrease your caloric intake or increase your caloric expenditure by 500 calories a day and you will lose 1 pound a week, safely.Now comes the hard part -- deciding how to increase expenditure or decrease intake. Start with the advice given above -- eat healthy stuff. Increase your activity level -- take stairs rather than elevators. Ride a bike rather than driving short distances. Park farther away from where you work and where you shop.Good luck and take it easy in your exercise. Make sure you are healthy enough to do the exercise you want to do.

twfdisturbed Posted January 30, 2006 Author Share Posted January 30, 2006 Thanks everyone for the great advice "Trust and hate, and love and fate, and I don't understand. Social grace, the human race, confuse me. These words I speak, bring forth a world of emotions. Emotions of dreams lost, dreams found, and dreams I'll never see."

TheAnimal Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Also which is better? Low carbs, or low calories or low fat? Thanks for any help.Medium carbs, low calories and low fat. carbs you need to live, so get them. calories are what become fat when in excess, so limit them. saturated fats are bad period, so avoid them at all costs. unsaturated fats are good, but calorie rich, so consume a small amount.
