[Anonymous]

This biznatch needs to lose weight. Logically I would like to lose 40 pounds however I shall start with more like 10-20pounds. Any tips? Exercise of course but how about eating? What foods have helped you? And in terms of exercising what flattens the stomach? Cardio?

There are tons of different diets out there, but I think it's important to choose one that's going to be sustainable for you. For example, a lot of people are going on low carb diets, which work, but many people will gain the weight back when they introduce carbs back into their diet (since avoiding carbs for the rest of your life isn't realistic for everyone).

I would suggest simply counting calories. There are a lot of free websites and apps out there that can help you. For example:

As for some tips about what to eat:
1. When you go grocery shopping, try to stick to the outside aisles of the store. Typically, that's where you're going to find your fruits, vegetables, bread, meat, dairy, etc. The inner aisles are where you'll find more of the processed foods, which are less healthy for you.
2. Choose complex carbohydrates over simple carbohydrates. Switch to whole wheat bread, brown rice, whole wheat pasta, etc. instead of the white versions.
3. Use veggies as snacks or to bulk up your meals so they're more filling. Veggies are low in calories and will help you feel more full.
4. Choose lean proteins, like chicken, turkey, fish, pork tenderloin, eggs, low-fat dairy, beans, lentils, etc. For beef, choose cuts with the words "loin" or "round" in their name. If you're using ground meats, choose lean or extra lean.
5. Drink lots of water. Most other drinks (juice, soda, etc.) have lots of calories and sugar in them. It's easy to drink too many calories, plus, you'd be "wasting" them on something that isn't going to help you feel full.
6. Measure out all of your portion sizes.

Diet plays a stronger role in weight loss than exercise does, but of course, exercise also helps with your health and strength. Personally, I have a bunch of workout DVDs that I do in my living room. They're a combination of cardio and strength-training. But there's a lot of things you can do---you just have to figure out what interests you.

And in terms of exercising what flattens the stomach?

You can't "spot train"---that means that you don't really get to choose where the fat comes off. Everyone is different, so you might lose weight from different places first. For many people, the stomach is the last place for the weight to come off. Certainly you can do abdominal exercises to strengthen those muscles, but it's not going to make the fat go away.

Cardio tends to burn more calories while you're doing it, however, strength training is important to. Muscle helps burn calories, so when you increase your muscle mass, your body will burn more calories while at rest. Or something like that. I'm not an expert!

The most simple way to look at weight loss is by calories in (amount of calories eaten) vs calories out (amount of calories out). Find out how many calories you need to eat to maintain your current weight and eat 250 - 500 calories below maintenance. Reassess the calorie maintenance ever 5-6 pounds lost. Ways to cut back calories basically eat more veggies as they are really low in calories and dont drink calories (just water only which also has zero calories). For cardio just walk briskly (dont run) on an empty stomach for 30-60 minutes first thing in the morning. Weight training is not a bad idea either to ensure muscle mass is maintained.
