What does increasing your activity do for you? - Part 1
Burns Calories

For example, you need to walk for 18 hours and 15 minutes with a speed of 4km/hr to lose just 1 lb. Be careful to avoid feeling that a modest amount of exercise entitles yo to a more calories at the table. You must be sure to avoid eating more calories than what your exercise expended.

Tips for Healthy Eating
Eat a variety of foods
Eating a variety of foods, will help you to get the energy, protein, vitmins, minerals, and fiber you need for good health
Choose a diet low in fat, saturated fat and cholesterol
Diets that are low in fat, saturated fat, and cholesterol may reduce your risk of heart attack and certain types of cancer. Fat contains more than twice the calories of an equal amount of carbohydrates or protein, so a diet low in fat can help you maintain a healthy weight.
Choose a diet with plenty of vegetables, fruits and grains
These foods provide the essential vitamins, minerals, fiber and complex carbohydrates. Since these are naturally low in dietary fat, they can help lower your intake of fat.
Use sugars only in moderation

Use salt in moderation
A diet that is low in sodium can help reduce your risk og high blood pressure.
If your drink alcoholic beverages, do so in moderation
