How many calories do you consume to lose weight?

Your body needs a certain amount of calories to function - let's say 2000 per day. If you consume 2000 and use 2000, your weight will be stable. If you consume 2500 per day and use 2000, you will gain weight. To lose weight, you need to use more than you consume. Say consume only 1500 per day and use 2000 and you will lose weight. To cut back on calories is good but you must also exercise more, go for a 30 minute walk a day. Walk the dog. Take up a sport.
