What is the right way to lose weight?
A. Weight management is about energy balance. You need to make sure your energy intake (i.e. kilojoules/calories you consume through food and drinks) is less than your total energy expenditure (i.e. physical activity) on a consistent basis. This means you either need to reduce your kilojoule intake, increase your activity level or a combination of the two. There are many ways to go about reducing your kilojoule intake, hence the number of books, magazine articles, diets etc.
