The following healthy living recommendations will help you if you’re trying to lose weight, tone up your muscles, have aspirations of building lean muscle mass, are attempting to get a wash board stomach, or just want to feel better:
*1) Burn more calories then you're consuming everyday and measure your results using the following formula: Calories Consumed minus Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) minus Physical Activity minus the Thermic Effect of Food (TEF). A website that explains this formula in more detail and will help you determine how many calories you need to reach or maintain a certain weight is at http://www.primusweb.com/fitnesspartner/library/weight/calsburned.htm
Get a diet and fitness calculator that you can put on your computer or cell phone. This will allow you to easily calculate the above formula, set goals, log your daily calorie consumption, and register your physical activities.
Set realistic goals for your ideal body weight. Here are two websites that will calculate a suggested body weight:

Teens/Children: http://www.kidshealth.org/kid/exercise/weight/bmi.html
It is difficult and unhealthy to lose more than one or two pounds per week. There are 3,500 calories in a pound. If you eat 500 fewer calories per day for a week you will lose one pound. If you burn through exercise 500 more calories per day for a week you will lose one pound.
*2) Eat natural and organic foods found on earth versus something created by a corporation to make money. Eat meals in small portions throughout the day and take a good multi-vitamin supplement.
Avoid “High Glycemic Load Carbs” (sugar, pastries, desserts, refined starches such as breads, pasta, refined grains like white rice; high starch vegetables such as potatoes) and drink lots of water. Read this article for more information on high GL Carbs:

Another popular misconception is that you can replace fat with muscle. By the time we reach adulthood, we have a finite number of fat cells and muscle fibres. The only thing we can do is try to influence their size. Reduce your body fat and all of your fat cells will be smaller, including the ones located in your inner thigh area. When you build muscle, you increase the size of the muscle fibres you already have, but you don't add new cells.
So let's talk about reducing fat in general. Some of the major themes are:
Don't diet. Rather than trying the latest fad diet or skipping meals, just reduce the total amount of calories you consume daily. If you consume the number of daily calories you need, you will maintain your current weight. If you reduce this amount by just a couple of hundred calories a day, it will create a deficit between the calories you take in and the calories you expend. You can trim fat from your diet, but make sure you’re still getting around 30% of your calories from fat.
Burn calories. Reduce your daily calorie deficit even more by increasing the amount of time you exercise over the course of a week. Aerobic exercise (walking, cycling, rollerblading, swimming), performed three to five times a week for 30-60 minutes can help you increase your daily calorie deficit. The obvious reason that this is beneficial is that when you've burned more calories than you've taken in, your body gets the other calories it needs for energy from the fat already stored on your body.
