Loosing weight is not about eating less. If you try to loose weight by starving yourself you will end up in a hospital or if you are not very lucky you will end up dead.
Loosing weight is comparable to economy. If you earn a lot of money and you spend very little you will end up with more money. On the other hand if you earn very little and spend more than your earning you will end up broke.
The comparison therefore is between money and eating, and spending and exercising, or more precisely: money to calorie and spending to burning calorie.
Hence if you want to loose weight is just burning more calorie than what has been taken. For example if you eat food that has a calorie of “X” then you must engage yourself in an activity which will burn more than X calorie.
A more concrete example is like this. Say for example you ate a large portion of Cheese burger, you take about 800 calories, hence if you want to get rid of this in order that you don’t gain weight, you must do an activity which will spend all these calories. If you want to burn them by slow pace walking, you are burning calorie at approx 140 calorie per hour then you have to walk for about 5 hours and 45 minutes. Or if you want to do it faster, you can run for about an hour. If running for an hour and walking for almost six hours sound too much for you then a large portion of cheese burger is also too much for you.
