Lifestyle change for weight loss

The bottom line is, the only way to achieve weight loss and to maintain it, is to make a change in lifestyle. Calorie-restricted and/or fad dieting are not the answers. A balance between effective nutrition and regular exercise is the best solution. The results may be long-term, but once the weight reduction goal is reached, you dont have to worry about any future weight gain?as long as the energy equation is kept in balance. That is, the intake of calories from food does not exceed calories burned by exercise. The daily calorie-burning process of an average inactive adult male is responsible for expending or using up approximately 2500 calories. The average maximum daily expenditure should be about 3000 calories for men and 2100 for women. In order to obtain a balance between calories stored and calories burned, we must improve the quantity and choice of the food we eat?making sure it doesnt exceed the above calorie expenditures.
