I am on a weight loss adventure while on my extended down time. Start by reading the labels and/or searching Google for the calorie count. You might be surprised at some of the numbers. Second, set a daily calorie goal and stick to it. Third, chose your food wisely. In my opinion eat foods you like as it is easier to stick with your program. Like chocolate cake?
