Lose pounds and inches
What is a safe way to lose 30 pounds in a half a year?
Im 5'5'' and I weigh about 165 and I want to lose at least 30 pounds.Im an exchange student in Switzerland so I will have to eat a lot of swiss food but I hate cheese and i dont eat a lot of chocolate so i dont have to worry about that.What kind of food and exercise would you reccomend and do you think 6 months is a decent amount of time to lose the weight.

- Losing weight is a simple equation: if you burn more calories than you eat, the weight will come off. Start off by estimating how many calories you burn each day using the calorie calculator http://straighthealth.com/pages/tools/caloriecalclb.html This will give you an idea of how many calories to eat. Healthy weight loss is 1-2 pounds per week. To lose 1 pound per week you need to create a calorie deficit (burn more than you eat) of 500 calories per day. To lose 2 pounds a week, you have to double the deficit to 1000 calories per day. You can achieve this by eating less, exercising more or a combination of both.
