Many overweight females eat only once a day. This puts a starvation stress on your body so eat
three times a day, and less for dinner. Try eating less starchy foods and substitute veggies like broccoli, and
cauliflower.
Think of your weight as the result of an imbalance. Think of a seesaw. On one end there are
calories. Calories are energy equivalents, if you don’t burn them they accumulate as fat. If you are active you
burn the calories, and they don’t accumulate.
So back to the seesaw. On one end there are calories, and on the other end there is activity. The
more activity you have the less calories you have. The less activity you have, the more calories you
accumulate.
