Here is the answer to this question.
In order to lose weight, you have to subtract calories. Safe weight loss is 1-2 lbs/week, so in order to lose 1 lb/week, you'd have to drop 500 calories from your BMR each day (1 lb is equal to 3500 calories, so 500 calories X 7 days = 3500 calories or 1 lb). OR you can drop 250 calories from your diet and increase exercise to use an additional 250 calories.
Changing up calorie counts and exercises will help prevent plateau.
Loosing weight is not about skipping food it's about giving yourself the right nutrition throughout the day. Start a day with big breakfast, then have a healthly snack when you feel hungry. If you can have a more filling lunch and smaller dinner. Drink lots of water. Make sure you're not going over your daily calorie allowance.
