Trying to lose weight

If you are trying to shed some body fat then you must burn off more calories than you are putting into your body, example if you are trying to lose weight but your eating 5,000 calories in a day and your only burning 2,500 calories then your actually going to gain weight, if you are only burning 2,500 calories a day then you should be eating 2,000 calories or less to start shedding off some weight. Be careful not to starve your body or you can actually experience a reverse effect, and actually begin to gain weight because your body thinks it is being starving and doesn’t know when it will get some food so it kicks into survival mode and will hold on to every calorie you put in to it so the easiest way to keep your body satisfied is by eating smaller portions and break it up into 5 to 6 meals a day, example eat a healthy portion controlled breakfast at 6:00am then at 9:00 am you have a snack something light like cottage cheese and an apple then at around 12:00 p.m. a healthy portion controlled lunch followed by another snack at about 3:00 then at 5 or 6 p.m. have a light dinner protein source and vegetables finally at about 8 or 9 another light snack.
