I went from 272lbs to 179lbs in about a year so here is a small guide to help anyone else out.
The average diet should consist of 2000 calories. At least 50 grams of daily protein intake.
If you are looking to lose weight consider that a pound of fat is equal to 3500 calories. And all the extra calories add up. Lets say you are eating a 2000 calorie diet and are burning the same about. You will never gain or lose weight. If you ate an extra 350 calories a day (extra cookies or such) you will gain a pound of fat every 10 days or if its 100 calories extra it would be 1 pound every 35 days. Get the picture. But it works the other way too say you stop drinking a pop or other drink a day at 100 calories. You will start losing 1 pound of fat every 35 days. A good way to do it is to maintain the 2000 calorie diet (like i do since i love to eat) and work out everyday even if it only burn 100 calories, every bit counts. I recommend a low impact workout to start. Aerobics is one of the higher calorie burning type of workouts.
A few wieght loss tips.
Stop drinking pop or any other sweet drinks.
Avoid Cream based sauces and Fried Foods.
Almost all fast food restaurants have all the calorie counts on there websites, the same with most major restaurants. Check them before you go out and figures out your food combos and choices to stay in your calorie count.
I stick to a 200 calorie breakfast,600 calorie Lunch,800 calorie dinner and an extra 400 calories for snacks.
Fiber and Protein keep you full longer.
That's it for now, I will go more into detail on a later time.
