Try to avoid foods that have a high glycemic index rating. These foods include white breads, some pastas, potatoes, sweetened cereals, candy bars, soda pop, honey, and table sugar. These foods give you a quick burst of energy but then they leave you feeling hungry and lethargic a short time later. Recommended foods would be those with a low glycemic index rating, such as fruits, vegetables and whole grains. These foods leave you feeling full and raise blood sugar levels slowly and steadily.

Any aerobic activity which you can to do 3-5 times a week for at least 20 minutes will help you burn calories. As long as you are expending more calories than you are consuming on a regular and consistent basis, then the fat/weight will come off. You should also consider weight training because the more lean-muscle tissue you have, the easier and quicker it is for your body to burn calories.

What is more important is the percentage of body fat to lean tissue. Since muscle weighs more than fat you may weigh more than you thought was average for your height and build. There is still much controversy around the "ideal" body weight. It is usually considered that a healthy body fat percentage for males is 12-15% and for females is 18-22%. You should have your body fat percentage monitored every few months to make sure that your current exercise/nutritional plan is working.
