Whole grains, a serving is 1/2 wheat, brown rice, cereal, breads and pasta, try and cut out all white flour products. Cut out fried foods, fatty foods, foods high in sodium, like chips, high in sugar like soda, cakes and cookies. Drinks lots of water. Beans, legumes are great sources of protein but you only need 1/2 a cup, and 1/3 cup of seeds or nuts if you get hungry between meals. Read nutritional labels and stick to the one serving size of the product your eating, if you eat smaller portions, you will reduce calories automatically. If your really into counting calories reduce your intake 100-500 calories, but never go under 1,000 calories a day. Alower body fat percentage comes from healthy and steady weight loss of no more than 3 pounds a week. It takes, good food choices, smaller portions and a over all body workout, 4-5 times a week, 30-60 minutes of walking, jogging, biking, dancing, aerobics, resistance training, but you have to work the whole body and change the exercises or even the order you do them every couple of weeks! Keep in mind how you wan to look, or the clothes you wish you could wear and keep focused, it takes, time and patience but you can do it!
