You can change this by eating healthier. You have to have a healthy diet. Do not eat fast food. Take your lunch to work instead of buying fast food. Drink water instead of soda or energy drinks. If you can buy organic food, which does not contains chemicals. Eat more than three times a day, but make them small meals, instead of having three big meals that your body won't be able to burn all those calories at once. Change your big plates for smaller plates so you won't eat big portions. Eat fruits and vegetables daily. They not only have low numbres in calories, but they also have antioxidants that will make you look younger. Do not eat butter, mayo, ranch, penut butter, and all those dressings that have really high calories and fat. You also have to exercise.

Most people tell you just to walk for twenty minutes everyday or just exercise three times a week. That is good only if you plan on maintaining your weight. If you want to loose weight you have to exercise everyday from one hour to ninety minutes a day. You have to burn more calories than you consume. Do cardio. Rsistance alone won't make you loose weight, so you won't see results unless you do cardio. But you do have to have resistance because it will make your metabolism faster, and it keeps burning calories even after you work out. When you do cardio do intervals. Intervals make you loose weight faster.
