What we encourage people to do is calculate (and we can do this for you) how many calories a day your body burns on its own based on your lifestyle/activity level. From there we can tell you roughly how many calories a day you should try to eat in order to achieve your weight loss goals. Otherwise it's a crapshoot.

Cutting out the junk/soda/sugar is A HUGE must.


Other things that help (although very minimally compared to calorie reduction include: Upping your water intake drastically, eating a lot more protein, getting rid of white bread for whole grain/wheat bread helps too, etc.
I have up the water and your right I do need to count the calories. I plan to join a local gym. Please calculate for me. Right now I am not exercising and I have a desk job. Thank you.
