Shedding weight can be quite the challenge if you don’t have the right tried and true tricks on deck. When it comes to tweaking your diet, we spoke with The Nutrition Twins®, Tammy Lakatos Shames, RD, CDN, CFT, and Lyssie Lakatos, RD, CDN, CFT, who break down just how many calories to cut every day if you want to lose weight.
The Nutrition Twins stress, “Although we typically don’t tell people to count calories because we’d rather them focus on including more nutrient-rich food rather than cutting food out, and because it can take the joy out of eating and lead to overly restrictive eating habits and disordered eating, it’s still good to know how to cut calories and things to do to contribute to weight loss.”
