Goal: Find Your Healthiest Weight

f you want to lose weight before bathing-suit season, concentrate on dropping no more than a pound or two a week. "Anything more than that usually means you're depriving yourself," says New York City-based nutritionist Sharon Richter, R.D. "And when you deprive yourself, sooner or later you're going to binge and gain it back."

Operate on a 500-calorie-a-day deficit. "A pound is 3,500 calories," explains Richter. "So if you cut 500 calories a day for seven days straight, you'll lose a pound a week right there."
