The meals u mentioned will not help u lose weight. Fried plantain, fried stew? The first thing u need do is find out what ur daily caloric intake should be. |

You need to restrict your daily calories intake. If you consume 2000 calories per day ,try and reduce it to 900 for example. - get rid of sodas -no sugar ,white flour ,salt ,oil ...if you really need to ,take it in moderation. -control your portions size DRINK LOTS OF WATER! Good luck! |

Pls never aim for 900 calories daily intake, that's akin to killing yourself. It is not safe. your body needs those calories to function and will shut down if not getting enough. aim for minimum 1200 calories daily, you can start with 1500 to see how your body responds. Don't starve yourself, if you do your body starts storing whatever u eat. Eat 4 to 5 small meals or snack a day. Fat has 9 calories per gram, while carbs and protein have 4 per gram. Remove or reduce yam, garri, iyan from ur diet. Brown rice is better than white. Eat celery, u actually burn calories just by eating. No palm oil for cooking. And exercise, don't diet without exercise. Try all this and you will lose weight in weeks. if u have a smartphone, get myfitness pal app. All blackberry, apple, android and windows app world has it. It will help you calculate your intake and tell u how long it will take to lose ur target weight. It also accepts Nigerian foods. good luck. Hope you are successful. |

IvyBlue: 900 cals was an exemple,we are all different .what works for you might not work for her. its a 'him' by the way, example or not pls don't tell anyone to aim for 900 calories. How will the guy know not to follow that. No Dr will tell a woman to aim for 900 calories talkless of an able bodied man. Its not about what works for her or not, its about what's safe and healthy. 1 Like |

IvyBlue: the poster is a male o, are you not understanding? Before you treat a pt, the first thing u look at is the sex. 900 calories worked for you doesn't mean it is safe or healthy. mehn |

For one to lose weight there have to be a restriction of some kind . 900 or sometimes 600 cals(dinner) is enough for me because I hardly exercise and seems like my metabolism aint the same anymore ,so I think this is working for me. Op should find what suits him too. |

Portion control is the key. I read somewhere that our stomach is the size of our fists. When next you want to consume, make a fist and use it as a basis to measure your food portion. Nigerian foods are healthy as long as you don't stuff your face. |
