Answer 1

It is difficult to predict how much food one need to keep in good health while controlling  ones weight.  The amount of food a person needs varies with different individuals.  However I can give you a general guideline in which you can follow.

The most common cause of obesity is poor diet and/or eating habits and a lack of exercise. When there is inadequate intake of certain essential nutrients, fat is not easily or adequately burned and can accumulate in the body.

The amount of calories required varies from person to person. There is no need to worry about the amount of calories you consume as about eating the proper foods.  Rotate your foods, and be sure to eat a variety of foods.  Eat meals that consist of a balance of proteins, complex carbohydrates, and some fat.  Proteins can increase your metabolic rate by as much as 30%, and help to balance the release of insulin by prompting secretion of the pancreatic hormone glucagons.  Protein-induced glucagons, mobilizes fats from the tissues in which it is stored, thus aiding in weight loss.  By eating balanced meals you get more steady blood sugar levels and the ability to burn stored body fat for long-term weight loss.  Eat mainly plant proteins, such as nut, seeds, and grains.

Eat fresh fruits and an abundance of raw vegetables.  Have one meal each day that consists entirely of vegetables and fruits.  Use more low calorie vegetables such as broccoli, cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, celery, cucumbers, green beans, kale, lettuce, onions, radishes, spinach, and turnips.  Eat more of the low calorie, low-carbohydrate fruits including,  apples, cantaloupe, grapefruit, strawberries, and watermelon.

Eat foods raw where possible.  Drink 8 – 10 glasses of water each day.  Also include home made fruit juices and vegetable juices in your diet.  Eat a wide variety of fruits and vegetables - at least all kinds that you can get your hands on.  Just eat more of the low cal., low carb ones.  And do not forget to take exercise.  

An example of a proper diet is:

a meal consisting of a small portion of meat or fish,

1 or 2 complex carbohydrate (eg. yam, potatoes, pumpkin etc)

a mixture of raw vegetables, (eg. lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, broccoli, yellow or red sweet pepper, shredded carrots)

varied mixture of steam vegetables (eg a leafy vegetable and/or string beans, or a vegetable salad)

If you'd like to add drink - preferably home made fruit or vegetable juice.

Another is a mixture of different fruits with nuts and seeds

Do leg squats against the wall 3 sets of 20 once every other day.

Walk for 30 minutes twice a day or jog in the house for 30 minutes if the weather is bad out.
