| I'll second what the last person said. Eating healthy is important because your body definitely needs the fuel, but you want to make sure this fuel comes from the right sources.
You should multiply your current weight by 15 to determine how many calories you need daily to remain at your current weight. When you eat more than this, you gain weight. When you eat less you lose weight.
Once you determine this number, simply consuming less than this number of calories will result in weight loss. Also, as frustrating as it may be, you should not attempt to lose more than a pound or two a week. So I would not suggest that you subtract any more than 400 calories from your current calorie intake.
As admiralsfan suggested, simply cutting out the soft drinks and fast food will probably accomplish this goal.
It always helps of course to add some cardio 3 times a week or so as well. |
