3. Cut those calories.

In order for your body to lose weight you need to burn more calories than you consume, and you will also require less calories throughout the day as you begin to lose more weight.

So it would be wise to gradually begin to cut calories as you begin to lose a more substantial amount of weight. Begin by cutting 500 calories from your daily food intake to give your body the help it needs to fully adjust to its new energy intake.

If your weight loss starts to plateau after a couple months you can think about cutting another 100 calories. However, it is important that you never go below 1,200 calories a day to ensure you stay in proper health.

4. Pick up some new healthy habits.

One of the benefits of having a lot of weight to lose is that small changes to your exercise and eating habits can help you achieve a healthy calorie deficit.

Simple things you may even find silly like parking far away from the entrance of the grocery store, or carrying a refillable water bottle to keep yourself hydrated at all times.

While it might not be as beneficial as a hard workout, or eating healthy meals every day, every little thing you gets you one step closer to your goal.

5. Create a long term plan.

When you are trying to lose substantial amounts of weight you should be thinking longer than a few days, a few month, and even a few years.

You need to be thinking about the rest of your life and developing diets, exercise routines, and other various approaches to weight loss you could see yourself doing for the rest of your life because the best working diets are the ones that last long term.
