To lose weight safely, you need to consume fewer calories than you burn up in your daily activities. However, this does not mean a drastic reduction in your daily food consumption. Replace fatty, calorie-rich foods with complex carbohydrates that are low in calories, but nutritious. Try to set your goal by losing percentages of body fat rather than pounds.
Lasting results take time.
