   Ok, well first of all, you cannot target weight loss, so you might see weight loss in your face more than your body or vise versa. That’s ok though, because you are still loosing the weight

   Weight loss targets, basically, where ever it wants to target. (Although, it does target all around your body, but you will probably only see it in a few areas)

   If you were to go on a diet and exercise, you might see it in your face and thighs instead of your stomach or vise versa. If you truly want to lose weight, though, follow this diet and exercise plan:

   Foods to eat: Fruits, veggies, skim milk, and anything that is low in fat, calories, and sodium. (sodium, because it is bad for your heart and will decrease your ability to exercise.)

   Foods to avoid: Avocado, full fat milk, cheese, eggs, and anything that is coming from a restaurant or fast food (restaurants have high fat and high sodium like fast food.)

   Exercises: Sit ups (pace yourself with those), push ups, running, and anything else that gets your heart moving.

   That would help you lose weight gradually and healthily. If you want to lose weight fast, it isn’t healthy but here is what you can do: Eat only around 1200 calories a day. (you might feel dizzy so I suggest you take vitamins.) Exercise vigorously. (stationary bike…jogging, ETC.)

   Good luck

   (Overall, you should only be taking in around 1300-1500 calories a day…With exercise, of course.)

   Another thing, Do Not Eat Junk Food At All. It will ruin your diet.

   Exercising at light intensities burns less calories, but more of those calories burned will be fat calories. So generally, exercise at moderate intensity, don’t do the bike at a high intensity, you will mostly be burning carb calories. Also, exercising about 3 hours after you eat is generally the best idea, that way your body goes to the stored fat for energy rather than the recently digested food. Eat healthy, lots of fruits and vegetables. I always tell my clients to eat their vegetables first. By eating the veges first, you tend to fill up faster thus consume fewer calories. Cut sodas out of your diet.

   Eat a balanced diet— make veggies the basis… lots of veggies, steamed or roasted or raw is best.

   Only eat “brown” carbs– brown rice, 100% whole wheat breads (watch the label– a lot of “whole wheat” products contain a lot of white flour & high fructose corn syrup).

   Eat meat sparingly, and eat lean meats. We need protien, and meat is a fine source, however we don’t eat nearly as much as is common in our diet. There are other great sources of protien– tofu, beans, eggs… mix it up.

   It’s a great way to save money, too, going meatless a few nights a week. We cut meat down to small 2 to 3 oz servings each, and only eat it 3 or 4 times a week, and wow did our grocery bills go down.
