The magic numbers you need to know for weight loss are 1500, 800, 500, 50, 20, 8 and 5 . You need to limit
your total calorie intake to 1500 a day (or less) to lose weight. You’ll lose twice as much weight on 1500
calories of protein and fat, compared to 1500 calories of carbohydrate. There’s no significant difference
between weight loss on 500 calories a day compared to weight loss on 800 calories a day, so you don’t have to
make yourself too crazy. You need to limit your total daily carbhydrate intake to 50 grams a day or less to
maintain weight loss. You need limit your total daily carbohydrate intake to 20 grams or less, for the most
efficient weight loss. You’ll lose weight most efficiently, if you limit your carbohydrate intake to no more than 5-8
grams per feeding.
