To lose weight: To take off
1 pound per week, you need to create a "deficit" of 500 calories per day. You
can do this by eating 250 fewer calories a day (for example, cut out a 20-ounce
bottle of regular soda) and burning an extra 250 calories through physical activity
(for example, walk for 2.5 miles). Another way to cut back on calories is to
watch your portion
sizes.
