The Exact Formula for Weight Loss

Aug19



Achieving your ideal weight will not only affect the way your body feels, looks, and performs, it will likely bring you closer to your professional goals as well. Dropping excess weight will likely increase your energy, stamina, posture, confidence, and therefore, odds for success. 

Even though weight loss and weight management are often made out to be the most confusing things in the world, the formula is very simple. I say this with a promise that if you follow this exact formula for weight loss, you will never have to diet, suffer, or waste your money buying nonsense like pills, supplements, shakes, or wraps again. Your body needs calories to function. On average, it burns about 10 calories per day per pound of body weight. So, if you weigh 200 pounds, your body will likely burn about 2,000 calories just to maintain its size and normal body function. That’s not counting exercise. It’s just the amount of calories your body will burn doing important things like digesting food, pumping blood, processing oxygen, walking around the house, brushing hair … standard stuff. Every move we make requires energy, and thus calories get burned. If you burn about 2,000 calories a day and you’re not losing weight, we know that you’re also consuming at least 2,000 calories a day too.

3,500 extra calories consumed = one pound gained

3,500 extra calories burned = one pound lost

If you presently weigh 200 pounds but have a healthy or preferred weight of 150 pounds … it’s safe to say that you’ll need to lose 50. If you’d like to weigh 150 pounds, you should eat the proper amount of calories that would sustain a person no bigger than 150 pounds! 150 X 10 calories per day = 1,500. At 200 pounds, you’re consuming at least 2,000 calories per day, way more if you exercise regularly. That’s too much! That’s the reason you’re 50 pounds overweight. You’ve been eating to be a 200-pound person. CONTINUE READING
