Eating more food will help you lose more fat, but only if you follow a strict diet.
You should limit carbs to 1.5 percent of your total calories and keep them limited to a certain percentage of your calories.
That’s about 200 calories per day.
That means you should eat about 250 calories a day of whole-grain breads, a slice of orange or orange juice, a salad or two with vegetables, and so on.
For example, if you want to lose 10 pounds of fat per week, you’d have to eat about 1,000 calories of fruit and vegetables, 1,400 calories of lean protein and 1,200 calories of carbs a day.
So that would mean eating about 300 to 500 grams of fruits and vegetables a day, with 150 to 200 grams of lean proteins.
So for a person with a BMI of 30 to 30.9, that would put him or her on a very restrictive diet, said Dr. Daniel P. Krauss, the director of the University of Michigan Obesity Center and professor of pediatrics and nutrition at the University Health Network in Detroit.
“I would suggest that that’s a very high calorie diet for someone who’s trying to lose weight.”
