"The Essentials" to a Healthy Body Part II
- How to minus your Calorie consumption?
In order to lose weight, you must minus your calorie. This simply means to reduce the number of calories you are taking or building up. What we recommend you to do is to cut back or burn your calorie a little each day which is a much easier and healthier approach to losing weight. For example, every 3,500 calories = 1 pound
So if you cut back 500 calories per day (with a no butter toast or no milk cereal) you will lose 1 pound per week. And if you exercise to burn off 500 calories a day (a jog to the nearest convenient store) you will also lose another 1 pound per week.
- Lose weight at a healthy rate
A healthy weight loss goal is to lose 0.5 to 2 pounds a week. Generally when you can and have lost more than 2 pounds a week, it will mean you have lose the weight temporarily and not permanently. This usually happens when you lose weight excessively in a short period of time but what you actually lose during that period is water weight and not calories.
