Since you just wanna t lose some pounds...I recommend simple stuff like a treadmills,tread climbers, areobic class, ect. for at least 30 mins a day for 4-5 times a week. If you hate running...you can speed walk. Just as long as you get your heart rate up and SWEAT.
As for food, You need to eat 5-6 small meals a day...starting with BREAKFAST. By, eating breakfast..it'll actually help wake your metabolism up in the morning and get it working...It'll help you burn more fat and store less.
I really dont like to restrict too many types of food on a normal person and have the them suffer and quit on me early into the program. haha . Just stick to the basics, Like...NO SUGAR!!, NO MAYO!! (even "low fat" mayo) , No Junk food, No white bread (but, you can still have carbs...just dont over do it), and cut back on the saturated fats as much as you can.
Stick to white meat chicken, turkey, fish, small portions of beef, and plenty on veggies and fruits. Also, be sure to drink at least 8 glasses of 8 oz water a day.
Ps- it really simple, Just use common sense. If you think that what youre eating is bad..then it probably is!!!
