When looking at losing wait should u look at cals or total fat in food??


Question: Hi trying to lose wait for my wedding as im in between a 14 an 12 so it makes it really hard trying on dress sizes, going to gym (curves) 3 days a week tonig up great but want to make sure im eating right, but im a bit confused. Im trying to eat the right thinks should I be looking at the total fat or calories when buying food? please help this mixed up blonde? :.)
Answers: eating to few calories can be counter productive as it shuts down your metabolism. as for low fat foods... they sometimes add sugar to make things taste better which can add bad carbs to your diet. it is best to eat healthy carbs (veggies fruits and whole grains) and lean proteins. counting calories can help. the average lady needs about 1900 calories per day assuming a sedentary life style to maintain their present weight maintain a deficit of about 500 calories per day to lose a pound a week. don't over do it though because like i said earlier you could derail your weight lose efforts by shutting down your metabolism.
look over the links i included and browse the links they offer allot of info. There are tons of sources on the web and there is simply too many topics and variables to adequately discuss in this forum
Just remember everything in moderation and what takes years to develop won't disappear over night and you will be fine
What you want to look for is you Carbohydrates. intake.

I was having the same problem. and then i started to see a nutritionists

a person should be sticking to a 2000 calorie diet per day.
More at calories. Wight loss is about burning more calories then you consume. However, the fat content is important as well - you dont want something with a lot of fat because its basically what I call useless energy.
