  Like a monetary budget, you body has its own type of budget. When you are consuming more calories than you can burn every day, you are going to gain weight. On the other hand, if you are consuming less calories than you burn you will lose weight. The key to losing weight is to learn how to balance your caloric intake with your physical activity. This does not mean that you need to starve yourself to lose weight, it just means being aware of what you eat. Make a list of what you eat everyday and keep track of your calories. By being aware of this, you will find it much easier to lose weight.

  Exercise and strength train. When you exercise you are building muscle in your body. Cardio workouts will help your heart and lungs to become stronger, while a strength training regimen will help build your muscles. Find something that works for you.
