Calories needed to lose weight

BY Alberta McKain


I studied these things a lot and read hundreds of books about losing weight.I also was a fat person years ago but succeeded in achieving a normal body weight.
The calories needed to lose weight are as it follows:
In order to lose one pound of weight,you need to create a calorie-deficit of 3500 calories.One pound of body weight is equivalent to 3500 calories.You can do this by increasing your calorie expenditure, by reducing your eaten calories, or (best) by a combination of both.
As an example you can suppose you need 2000 calories a day, in order to maintain your weight.To lose one pound a week,you need to cut your daily calorie intake to 1500 calories.Over 7 days, this adds up to 3500 calories.The same result can be achieved by increasing your exercise by 200 calories/day, and reducing your calorie-intake by 300 calories/day.That said, a combination of calorie-reduction and increased exercise makes weight loss easier to sustain.
Weight Loss means Reducing Calories.Forget fad diets, diet pills and other diet gimmicks.Forget high protein or very low-calorie diets.Healthy sustained weight loss is only possible when we eat a balanced diet and reduce our food calories until they are lower than our energy requirements.And then you see the results.
