It is no secret that altering your diet can affect the rate at which you lose weight. Many of the local foods of Nigeria can be used to encourage weight loss. A study conducted by the Loyola University Health System and published in "Obesity" in September 2008 revealed that the average rural Nigerian woman weighed 55 pounds less than the average African-American Chicago woman, despite the fact that both parties burned roughly the same amount of calories daily. Researchers speculated that this is because most Nigerian foods are made from unprocessed ingredients.
An average person burns between 1600 – 2000 calories per day by just being alive. To loose weight, you have to take in less that 1600 – 2000 calories. If you live an active life or work at a job that requires lots of activities/manual labour, that number goes up.
Remember, starvation is not good for the body. Avoid unhealthy snacks and drinks [drink water if you’re thirsty], eat fruits as snacks.
