Fact Tuesday: Losing Weight

 

 

 

It seems like everyone asks me how to lose weight. Well if you know me well enough you know I don't believe in diets that restrict any "real" foods. But I highly recommend people to stay away from prepackaged foods.



 

A pound of fat equals 3500 calories. To lose 1 pound a week you will need to burn 3500 more calories than you eat that week. Losing one pound of fat a week is a sensible goal, but it requires a reduction of 500 calories per day. You can do this by increasing your calorie-burning activity or by eating fewer calories -- or both. It is easier to achieve it with the combination of increased activity and eating less. Exercising enough each day to burn 300 to 400 calories is a good goal for the exercise portion of your weight loss plan.
