However it is key to know that you need to burn more calories than you intake, and you also need to eat better foods (less sugar) that are good sources or vitamins/Minerals, Complex Carbohydrates, and Protein. Exercising and burning less calories than you intake will make you gain weight (fat) rather than losing it.

Also stay away from foods with a high fat content (at least stay away from saturated fats as much as possible).
