Diets - Remeber It's all in the Numbers

[steve_ross]

Whichever diet program you choose, you just need to remember it's really all a numbers game. That's all it is. The bottom line is this: Most people burn about 2000-2400 calories per day just doing nothing (sitting, breathing, sleeping). If you are active or work out you probably burn closer to 3000 calories per day. Soooooo, if you only eat 1000 calories per day, you have a calorie deficit of about 2000 calories per day which would be about 14000 calories per week. For one pound of weight loss it takes 3500 calories. So 14000 calories divided by 3500 is 4 pounds of weight loss per week. If you work out or get more exercise it would probably be closer to 5 pounds per week. So realistically you could loose 20 pounds in one month. Do it for two months and you have lost 40 pounds!! It can be done because weight loss is a science, not a matter of opinion, it's all in the numbers!

If only "kicking my laziness off" was easier It seems the older I get the harder it is to get rid of the weight...

Though weight loss is a science, it all comes down to the math. Those were two of my best subjects in school...hopefully that means I'll get better at losing weight
