Thanks to labels on food packages, it is possible to tell which foods contain less fat than others. The labels tell you how many calories in one (1) serving come from all the ingredients and how many come from fat. So it's a good idea to read the food labels carefully. They allow you to select low-fat or no-fat products - and to identify items that contain a lot of fat.
Remember, too, that fat contains more calories than the equivalent amounts of carbohydrates or proteins.
REPLACE THE HIGH-FAT FOODS YOU EAT. Nutrition experts suggest that you consider eating more grains, fruits, and veggies, which generally have little or no fat and tend to be much lower in calories than fatty foods. Your goal should be to eat a balanced diet that is low in total fat. This means that you can indulge occasionally in some fat-laden items if you generally eat low-fat foods.
FACTS
•· The fat content of the average American diet is 42% of calories.
•· Decreasing total fat intake means choosing lower-fat foods and cooking with low-fat methods.
•· Substitute poly- or monounsaturated fats for saturated fats whenever possible.
QUICK NOTE!
Did you know your body requires up to 10 8 oz. glasses of water each day to maximize the digestive process and help you control your weight.
Walking has become a very popular form of exercise and for very good reason. Walking is natural, enjoyable and just requires comfortable shoes, some comfortable clothes and a little discipline. It will improve both leg strength and toning. Walking also preserves lean muscle mass while helping you lose unwanted fat.
Though walking will burn calories immediately, it takes approximately 18 minutes for any aerobic exercise to burn fat.
Squats

~Stand with feet shoulder-width apart.
~Squat, as if you are sitting, making sure that your knees do not extend beyond your toes.
~Keep your back straight, head up, and abs firm.
~Continue to squat only until upper thighs are parallel to the floor, keeping body weight on heels. reps 4 of 12-16 per set each day (in a month you are going to see and feel a vast improvement).
Some of the most appropriate foods for you to eat would be:
Roasted chicken skinless w/o skin, oatmeal, veggies, canned tuna in water, low-fat cottage cheese, most types of broiled fish crab, shrimp
