Since losing weight is simply expending more calories than you take in, figure out exactly what you take in. Keep a written record of every morsel, for at least a week. That means everything, every morsel, every sample, every sip of water. Now with the help of sources like mypyramidtracker.gov figure out the calories in what you eat.

Now that you know the calories you consume, start cutting. One great way is to eat from a smaller plater. Remember, most restaurants and even people at home serve portions that are far larger than they should be. Smaller portions will result in weight loss. And there are more cuts to make too. These include salad dressing, butter, sweets, and juice or soda. Salad dressing is the largest source of calories on most dinner tables! Simply switching to water as a main drink is a big step in weight loss. Also note that empty calories such as sugars and white breads (carbohydrates) are the first things to cut. These can easily be replaced with sugar substitutes and whole grain breads.

An easy place to target for calorie reduction is the side dish. This portion of the meal often holds more calories than the main course. Make a switch to healthy foods, or cut out the sides completely.
