Need some advice on calories and diet plans to lose weight?

I'm 28, female, I weigh 116 kgs (I know) and want to lose enough weight to be healthy, I would say I need to lose at least 46 kgs. How many calories should I take in per day, and what are some good low calorie meals that will be filling and tasty?


10 points for the best answer, I need your help!Need some advice on calories and diet plans to lose weight?
Ok well I can kind of tell that you are looking for the ultimate diet. Healthy but tasty...there healthy food out there but I am going to be honest they are not always the tastyest thing on the planet. You need to be commited to this and work for it. That does include eating a few yucky things every once in awhile but the good news is your body adapt to what you eat often or should I say taste buds so you just need to survive through a few ewws and yucks. The next thing I want to say is instead of grabbing that to-go- bar grab a bannana or apple instead. Eat when you are hungry and only when you are hungry because if you eat when you are bored then well... The only exception to the hungry rule is breakfast, that is manitory. You also need to add some healthy but filling food to your diet like peanut butter altough almond is better for you...this is really good to use when loosing weight because it keeps you full and satisfied.


Another good thing to remember is you need to eat slowly because you body doesn't let you know when you are full in till 20 minutes after you are. Remember your stomach is only the size of your fist.


Calorie counting is great...wonderful even. This is because in order to loose weight you need to burn off more calories then you consume. I would recomend signing up for spark people they really help.


Join a gym or buy a few work out tapes exercise is also manitory. If you have the time to ask this question on yahoo answers you have the time to exercise. You need to sacrifice some things but just remember what you are working for especially for the long run. Remember to weight lift and set aside a day were you don't exercise at all...your 'heal day' as I like to call it to give your muscels time to heal.


Another thing that you nead to get straight right away is that is should be a life style not just a diet. And you also need to relize that the best results take time and often what happens is once you get yo your goal weight in a fast amount of time all that weight comes right back sometims even more.


Eat healthy because healthy food gives you more energy to exercise lol. A good thing to eat is smoothies. Put your favorite combination of fruit in it and some leafy greens to deliver an amazing amount of anergy and then blend.Need some advice on calories and diet plans to lose weight?
I'm trying to lose weight as well. Doctors have said to try to stay @ 1200 calories, but no more than 45 grams of carbohydrates. The real key is exercise. Something as simple as walking or swimming are excellent choices. I walk %26amp; do Curves.





I've tried Weight Watchers, but there was a lot of pressure by the leaders in the group I was in. My brother lost a lot of weight on their program, however. The nice thing is you can eat ';regular'; food you would buy anyway.





Definitely get The Calorie King Calorie Fat %26amp; Carbohydrate Counter. It's a small book that easily fits in a purse. Lists restaurants, fast foods, snacks, beverages %26amp; everything in-between. Since using it I've lost 6 lbs. in 10 days %26amp; lost my cravings for junk food.
It depends on how many calories you eat right now. Start tracking your meals, just for a week. Don't change anything, just observe what you are doing. Count your calories. You can find calorie counters online, or in bookstores. Observer patterns. Do you eat breakfast? What is your biggest meal of the day? Do you eat a lot of carbs? Fats? From your research, divide the food you eat into I need, I want, and I could do without.





Examples of ';I need';: Vegetables, salmon, fruit, yogurt, milk, any sort of food with a lot of nutritional value.





Examples of ';I want';: A hamburger, a piece of chocolate, frozen yogurt, pasta, foods that have some nutritional value but also taste pretty good.





Examples of ';I could do without';: Skittles, French Fries, Donuts, foods without any nutritional value whatsoever.





Gradually increase your ';I need';s, maintain your ';I want';s, and cut back on your ';I could do without';s.





As far as calories go, aim for a small cut, maybe 500 calories, and add in some exercise in order to increase muscle, which will boost metabolism. Your loss will be gradual, but it will be long term. You DON'T want to be a yo-yo dieter. There is nothing worse than being a yo-yo dieter! All the unhappiness of being overweight combined with all the unhappiness of having to diet just to maintain that weight!





For motivation, I find that it helps to create a weight loss calendar, i.e. if I lose a pound a week, then by April I'll be down at least 12 pounds! By next Christmas I'll be down 40 pounds! I'll have to buy a new dress for that Christmas party! Think about what all my friends and family will say when they see me there!
first, go her http://loseweightin14days.blogspot.com/ use the calorie guidance estimator. it should tell you how much calorie you need to take. then get a really good diet.





make adjustments to your diet. It鈥檚 just not only about changing what you eat, but also changing your eating habits, the way you eat, the size of your meals, the time of day in which you eat certain food groups, the time between meals, and the number of meals you eat each day. All this can have a bigger effect on your weight loss
I have lost 60 lbs (27 kg) in the last year, and I plan to lose another 60 this year.





Here is one technique that I used. I set up a table with my weight goal for every day of the month. You can do this with a spreadsheet program or a pocket calculator. Since I lose 5 pounds every month, I subtract 5/30 (5 pounds per 30 days) from my goal each day. Another way would be to lose 4 pounds per month so that you subtract one pound each week. Then, weigh yourself every morning. Any day that you are over your target weight, eat less. Pretty soon, you zero in on the amount to eat to keep the weight coming off at the right speed.





Here are my weight loss links:





Experts recommend, ';Slow and steady weight loss. Depending on your starting weight, experts recommend losing weight at a rate of 1/2 to 2 pounds per week. Weight loss may be faster at the start of a program.'; http://win.niddk.nih.gov/publications/ch鈥?/a>


And, ';Men and very active women may need up to 2,500 calories daily. Other women and inactive men need only about 2,000 calories daily. A safe plan is to eat 300 to 500 fewer calories a day to lose 1 to 2 pounds a week.'; http://www.fda.gov/opacom/lowlit/weightl鈥?/a>

A healthy exercise program addresses all five aspects of physical fitness: aerobic endurance, muscular endurance, muscular strength, flexibility, and body fat composition.
