day to lose weight.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A typical intake is <strong>1,200 to 1,500 calories<\/strong> for women and 1,500 to 1,800 calories for men.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Get fuller with less

fish twice a week.\u00a0Reduce the amount of salt and sugar.\u00a0Consume low\u00a0fat\u00a0dairy products.\u00a0Eat fats in moderation and make sure they come from heart-healthy sources, such as\u00a0olive, canola and walnut oils.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Limiting certain foods \u2013<\/strong> Some diets limit the amount of a particular food group, such as high carbohydrate or full fat foods.\u00a0Ask your doctor what diet plans are effective that may be helpful for you.\u00a0Drinking sweetened beverages will make you consume more calories, and limiting or eliminating these drinks
