    • Set up your account honestly & accurately - don't automatically choose the fastest rate of loss, it's not suitable for everyone.
    • Get a food scale if you don't already have one, it's the most accurate way to measure your calorie intake
    • Log a few normal days first, review the data and make small sustainable changes to get to your calorie allowance
    • Stick with it and try to increase your activity levels
    • Eat back exercise calories - at least 50% to start with, review weight loss after 4-6 weeks and adjust amount as required.
    • Don't restrict foods unless you really can't control your intake of them and don't make super drastic changes.
