Don’t cut calories too fast or you’re setting yourself up for failure. When you cut a lot of calories out of your diet all at once your body goes crazy. First of all, you’ll be hungry all the time, and no one wants that. Secondly, your body will go into shut down mode because it’ll think you’re starving and don’t have enough food to eat. Then your calorie burning power will be cut, drastically.

Cut your calories slowly. First you need to find out how many calories you eat. Keep track of everything you eat for 2 weeks. Then start cutting certain things from your diet, slowly. The first week cut 100 calories from your diet. Then 100 more.

You can cut your diet by foods instead of calories if that’s easier. Cut out the cupcake you have after lunch each day for the first week. Next week cut out the bag of chips you eat with dinner. One item at a time you’ll start to eat less and less calories.
