Whether you're a runner who wants to drop a few pounds or a non-runner who wants to pick up running to shed some weight, running to lose weight can be tricky. While you're feeling famished, your metabolic rate also drops as your body attempts to conserve energy. This means you'll naturally burn fewer calories, so you'll have to cut even more of them from your diet in order to keep the scale on a downward trajectory, Ludwig explains.
Get enough fluid. You need 2.2-3 L (9-12 cups) each day. Most should be water. Milk is also a good choice - lower fat milk is best - because it gives you important nutrients. Use caution with juice and sweetened drinks; calories can add up quickly and they do not fill you up. Tea and coffee (without cream or sugar) are calorie free fluids.
