Walking is one of the best ways you can burn calories. You should aim to walk as much as you can in everyday life. I recommend you get a pedometer. Using a pedometer you can easily monitor your daily activity. You can also use a pedometer to work out how many calories you are burning in everyday walking. You will be surprised at how the small distances you walk throughout the day build up!

Ultimately weight loss is about the balance between calories taken in and calories burned. Take the weight you want to be and the activity level that you maintain and calculate the number of calories that you should eat to maintain that weight. Now you have to eat fewer calories than this number, on average, over time to lose weight and achieve your target. Keep a food diary with full daily calorie calculations. Write down everything.

Exerise, exercise, exercise! Exercise increases your metabolism and burning off excess fat. When is the best time to exercise? Our metabolism slows down about 8 hours after we wake up, so 30 minutes of exercise in the evening, before dinner will increase your metabolism for about two to three more hours just when it was starting to slow down. This produces a significant increase in fat burned off, even after the exercise is over.
