Weight loss is a simple matter of using up more energy than you take in- if you go to a website like
www.caloriecount.com you can figure out how many calories your body needs, how many you burn up through exercise and how much to eat to lose weight. Say, for example, your maintenance needs are 2100 calories a day and you burn 300 through walking. That is 2400 calories a day for your weight to stay the same (this is an EXAMPLEonly). You need a deficit of 500 calories a day to lose 1lb a week so if you ate 1900 calories a day, you would lose 1lb a week. Losing more than 2lbs a week is not recommended.
