| Figuring out how many calories you burn
daily is the first step.
Caloric burn depends on your current weight,
age, and level of activity.
The key to dieting for weight loss is to eat
less than you burn, and this deficit will be taken from your
stores of fat.
Under Tutorial, there is a list of the calories
burned for various activities.
A small sedentary adult woman would burn about
1800 calories per day.
A large man exercising vigorously could burn
as much as 3000 calories.
The best way to figure out your daily caloric
burn is to check your food numbers for a week, and divide by
7. Find your average before you try to reduce it.
Weighing yourself daily is not recommended.
Once a week is recommended, or even once a month. It simply
is not as reliable as counting your caloric intake.
Constipation often sets in. Any laxative will
work, prunes are excellent as well.
There are 3500 calories in one pound of fat.
So if you eat a 1400 calorie diet, with 60
grams of protein (which is mandatory to prevent muscle breakdown),
and burn 2400 calories, you will lose a pound of fat within
3.5 days.
