Now, lets start with the basics...

You need to burn 3500 calories to lose one pound!

First things first, you need to figure out how many calories you need to consume everyday to maintain normal body function like digestion, breathing, ect. This is what experts call your Basal Metabolic Rate. Simply go to this this BMR Calculator and you will determine the basic number of calories burned without exercising.

Next you need to figure out how many extra calories you are burning during the day with this calorie counter. After you get both of these numbers you need to add them and this number will be the total number of calories you burn per day. If you want to lose weight you need to eat less calories than that number. So lets say the total number of calories you burn is 2000. If you eat 1500 calories per day, you will lose a pound a week. Of course you can always shoot for a lower calorie intake to speed your weight loss. Just remember that there are 3500 calories in a pound.

Now you need to determine how many calories you are actually consuming per day. We recommend not going lower than 1000 calories per day. If you go any lower your body will go into starvation mode and you won't be losing the weight that you'd like. You do not want your body to go into starvation mode. When your body goes into starvation mode and you start eating more you will gain weight back rapidly.

You can go to this calorie counter to determine the number of calories you are consuming per day, or it may just be easier for you to read the food labels and add up the number to find out exactly how much you eat.

Eat your last meal at least 3 hours before bed for optimal results!

By not eating before bed you give your body time to digest the food before it shuts down for sleeping. If you eat right before bed, your body will turn that food into fat, and thats not what you want. Also, by eating before bed your body won't digest that food as fast and you will most-likely wake up feeling not so good. If you are hungry before bed and must eat something, go for a couple ounces of lean protein, such as tuna, turkey or chicken breast. Watch your portion size, its easy to go overboard!
