Photo shows one (1) pound of fat
- this is what 1 pound of fat looks like in your body! Imagine
what 2 pounds look like!
There are many reasons for people who are overweight to want to
lose weight. Is it to be healthier, to look better. to feel
better, and/or to have more energy. Whatever your reason is, you
need to lose at a slow and steady rate for best results. A safe
and healthy rate is no more than two (2) pounds per week. This
is the goal you should aim for in your weight loss program.
Lose 1 pound per week - Reduce your weekly intake of
calories by 3,500 calories (3,500
divided by 7 days equals 500 calories per day).
Lose 2 pounds per week - Reduce your weekly intake of
calories by 7,000 calories (7,000 calories divided by 7 days
equals 1,000 calories per day).
It is very simple logic - To cut out either the 500 or 1,00
calories a day, you can either eat less calories or burn more
calories by exercising. Or, to make it an easier goal to
achieve, try a combination of eating fewer calories, and burning
more calories more a day by exercising.
Remember that extra calories eaten and not burned off by
exercise will turn into extra weight. Doesn't this sound simple?
You absolutely need to regulate the calories you eat every day
in order to either lose weight or to maintain your weight.
