2,000 calories. Use a food journal. Nobody should go under 2,000 calories or your metabolism will slow down and almost stop. This will make it harder for you to lose weight.
Read the book "Diet Cure" by Julia Ross. It is an excellent book.
Eat low carbohydrate non-starch vegetables and proteins like chicken and fish at each meal.
Limit your fruits, eat a few low carbohydrate fruits such as berries, and eliminate processed sugars and the glutinous grains.
Limit rice and corn to 1/2 cup per day.
Slowly start adding activities that are more physical. Your muscles need to be stretched. Your bones need compression to be healthy. Just don't shock your body by going from no exercise to vigorous, demanding workouts.
For those whose diets always fail, try a reverse diet.
Journal (write down) the foods you normally would eat but did not eat.
If you normally eat chocolate, cut the portion in half and log the half not eaten. In fact, try to only eat half of what is on your plate and just leave the rest.
Don't limit yourself too much or you will get hungry and over eat.

This depends on when the pizza is eaten. If pizza is eaten right before a large period of inactivity, it is possible that the calories eaten will not be burned off. Weight is gained when the amount of calories eaten is greater than the amount of calories consumed. Pizza in moderation is alright, but if too much pizza is eaten and not enough activity is done in the day, weight gain will occur. However, one never knows where one will gain weight; that is all coded by genetics.
