However once you are past that initial phase, you shed weight like no one's business. Only thing is that for only 10 pounds, this is a bit extreme I think. I would do this if I needed to lose 20 or more pounds. |
Well, if you don't get what healthy eating is and can't just make the adjustment on your own, i would say this:
Figure out how many calories you burn on average each day
Set a target of 500 cals or so below that
Eat only clean/healthy foods (i.e.

Write every single thing down and its values (proteins/carbs/fats/calories) that goes into your mouth to make sure you are actually on track
Do some cardio daily to further increase daily caloric deficits
Adjust calories up or down as needed
Adjust cardio up or down as needed
Always drink lots of water
Expect to lose 1-2 pounds per week
Create a 60 day plan to follow and to achieve your goal.
There is only one simple formula that is sure to work (no matter how many different ways there might be to express the same basic formula) and your body isn't going to cheat the laws of thermodynamics. Calories in vs Calories out.
