Weight loss. Its one of those things millions and millions of people want to do or dream about including my self if your following my other blog Weight Loss HQ at all. I have some simple things to consider when it comes to weight loss.
At the end of the day it comes down to simple math. For this example were going to assume a person requires 2500 calories a day to currently maintain their weight. That means eating 2500 calories a day you will not gain or lose one pound over the course of time, this will keep you at your current weight.
The trick is getting to know what your body requires for calories a day. One really needs to track their caloric intake and caloric expenditure (what you burn) is in a normal day and then simply adjust it. You should only lose a pound or two a week thats whats recommended.
It takes a 3500 calorie difference to lose or gain a pound. If you divide 3500 by 7 days it equals 500 calories. In a nutshell you will either have to eliminate 500 calories a day from the food choices you make or burn an extra 500 with added exercise or a combination of both per day to lose one pound a week. Simple math. Like I said the key is knowing what your intake and out take of calories a day is and then adjust from there.
Remember to count all your calories in and out. Even breathing takes calories so make sure your counting everything to know where your at for sure!
Another little trick is to increase your water intake. Water is critical for proper metabolism, and if you want to speed up your metabolism eat 5-7 smaller meals a day instead of three big ones. This all helps in your quest to lose those extra pounds!!
It takes some extra work to do this but its all worth it in the end!!
Thanks for visiting my blog, until next time
