It’s as simple as calories in and calories out. You can essentially follow whatever type of diet you think will be most sustainable for your lifestyle – and that may be anything from organic to low-carb to vegan to simply a reduced-calorie version of your current diet. You can also incorporate a product that supports regulating appetite (such as Garcinia Cambogia) into your daily routine in order to help control your calorie intake.* Overall, enjoying your favorite meals in moderation while focusing on whole, real food such as lean meats, fruits, vegetables, and whole grains is the best “diet” out there.*

It can be frustrating when you first start trying to lose weight, especially if your expectations are unreasonable. Healthy weight loss is recommended to fall in the range of ½ lb to 2 lb per week. Anything more than that may cause unwanted side effects and ultimately result in your weight loss being unsustainable. In order to lose weight in a healthy way as quickly as possible, simply clean up your diet by cutting out empty calories (such as alcohol and sweets) and increasing your activity level. *

Unfortunately, you can’t spot-reduce problem areas. In order to reduce the amount of body fat in your abdominal area, you need to decrease the overall amount of fat in your body. You can do this by eating less, exercising more, or a combination of both. Once you have lost some body fat, if you wish to work on building more muscle definition in your abs, you can certainly do so. Incorporating high-quality protein into your diet may also be helpful.

There is no one food that you should or shouldn’t eat for breakfast – this is certainly up to you. Most people find that a combination of a protein source with a healthy fat and complex carbohydrate source keep them full yet energetic throughout the day, rather than reaching for junk food just a few hours later. Something like steel-cut oats with fresh fruit and a small amount of almond butter might do the trick for you. Whatever you choose, make sure your portions stay in check, as this is key to managing your weight.

Again, this is completely up to you. Depending on how hungry you are and what you like to eat, a snack can vary greatly. Fresh fruits and vegetables are always a great choice, but sometimes they just don’t cut it. You can also try something like a protein bar or shake, especially if you’re a very active person. Nuts and seeds are also a great option. As with breakfast, make sure that whatever you choose is in an appropriate portion size. If you’re the kind of person that finds it difficult to keep your portions in check, buying pre-portioned snacks may be a great idea!

As mentioned before, anywhere from ½ to 2 lb per week is typically considered to be healthy. In more general terms, most people like to aim for 1 pound per week. Since it takes a deficit of approximately 3500 calories to lose a pound, you may prefer to think of it this way. In essence, this means you should be aiming for a 500 calorie deficit each day. Of course, the scale may not reflect this number precisely – as things such as water, sodium, hormones, and exercise can cause fluctuations in weight unrelated to fat loss or gain. Just stay consistent with what you are doing, and you should find that this is a sustainable weight loss rate over time.
