So basically, the more calories you consume, the more you need to burn. To lose weight, you need to burn MORE calories than take in.
The biggest problem I have, and many people I know that are fat, is controlling portion size. I don't eat junk and fat, I just eat a LOT. So for me, that has been my biggest struggle.
I am finding that putting whatever I would serve up on my plate, then taking half off is working well. Not eating after 8pm helps too and eating lots of fibre at breakfast time will help keep cravings at bay.
You need to work out WHY you eat - boredom, emotion, are you eating the right foods but wrong quantity or are you eating crap?
All the diets and fads will do you no good though if ignore the basic rule input = output - you MUST use more fuel than you put in to LOSE weight. (That hungry feeling, it is your friend And it will get better as you get a handle on when you are really hungry and portion size)
