To lose weight effectively, we all need to burn more calories than we consume. In case we do not do it, we are surely going to gain some unwanted fat. So in order to lose weight we all need to look at the amount of calories we consume i.e. we need to count the exact number of calories we burn.
So we need to count the amount of calories intake with a low fat diet and exercise. As you learn counting calories, it will become easier for you to lose weight. First we all must know that all men need around 2500 calories and women need 2000 calories daily as a way to maintain their current weight.
So cutting down your calories intake by 500 everyday, you are going to lose one pound in a week. And if you are able to reduce your calorie intake by 1000 every day, you are going to lose around two pounds every week. When you consume lesser calories, your body will start using the fat storage to make up for the calorie deficit. Combining exercise with your reduced calories count is the healthiest way for you to lose weight.

Eat nourishing food with plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables being part of it. Chew each morsel at least 32 times. This will activate signal to the brain as soon as u have had enough. Besides this change in eating style, take regular light exercises and brisk walks every day. U will be able to gain/shed all extra weight gracefully and in a reasonable time span. No food or drink in between the food and not more than three meals a day, unless u r diabetic. Stop counting.

Not much, just a little exercise 2 or 3 times a week, usually you will loose more that that in the first week with proper diet. More like 3 - 5 lbs

A defiecit of 3500 calories. Which is about a week of burning 250 calories a day, and cutting out another 250 cals from eating.
You should check out your BMR (basic metabolic rate) to see how much your body burns just sleeping...
Then figure out how many calories you need a day at your activity level..
After that, create a plan to do that 500/day calorie deficet.

keeping good posture will not only strengthen your core but will also add a small extra calorie burn because you re working slightly harder to maintain the position
