It is recommended that women should eat no more than 2,000 calories a day, while men should limit their intake to 2,500.

For children, it varies depending on age. A four-year-old should consume no more than 1,300, while for males aged 17 and 18 it is about 3,000, but overweight and obese children are consuming up to 500 calories more than that.

According to the Department of Heath all adults should:

• At least do 2 and a half hours of moderate intensity exercise over a week. That is just half an hour for five days a week

Moderate intensity means getting out of breath and your heart rate increasing. A good practical measure is when you can’t speak in complete sentences like you would if you’re sitting down yet you can still get your point across. Examples include:

• Cycling
• Brisk walking

This is a step above moderate and can be very good for your health. You’ll be breathing a lot harder, get a lot warmer and be able to speak only in three or four word sentences only. Examples of this include:

• Sports such as swimming or football
• Running

In Harvard Men’s Health Watch (HMHW), two scientists sifted through 4,295 articles published on walking. They found that walking reduced the risk of heart problems by 31% and cut the risk of dying during the study period (on average about 11 years) by 32%.The greatest benefits went to people who walked longer distances, walked at a faster pace, or both

• Get into housework and gardening
• Combine exercise with your social life by joining a gym, club or team. Increasingly, there are sports opportunities for people of all ages and abilities. But make sure you’re fit enough to avoid injury.

Is a way of thinking.

Your mindset is your collection of thoughts and beliefs that shape your thought habits. Your thought habits affect how you think, what you feel and what you do. Your mindset impacts how you make sense of the world and how you make sense of you.

Because they are related to mindset, it also helps to understand attitude and beliefs and this is likely to have a major impact on achieving your weight loss goals.

In a fixed mindset, people believe their basic qualities, like their intelligence or talent, are simply fixed traits. They spend their time documenting their intelligence or talent instead of developing them. They also believe that talent alone creates success—without effort

In a growth mindset, people believe that their most basic abilities can be developed through dedication and hard work—brains and talent are just the starting point. This view creates a love of learning and a resilience that is essential for great accomplishment. Virtually all great people have had these qualities.

Yes you can change your mindset but it is important that you take on a growth mindset where you look to make changes to your beliefs.
