Calorie Intake for Easy
Weight Loss
Most
people make the mistake of crash dieting to lose weight.
They cut too many calories from their diet and soon give up
out of frustration. You should only cut 500 to 700 calories
from your daily intake to lose weight.
Cut your
calorie intake by 500 to lose 1 pound each week or cut by
700 calories to lose 1-½ pounds each week. There are 3500
calories in one pound of fat. To lose 1 pound, you need a
calorie deficit of 3500 calories. This calorie deficit
should happen over the course of one week.
A diet
with too few calories is hard to maintain and will slow your
metabolism. Eat too many calories and you will not lose
weight. The best dieting method is to eat 5 to 6 small meals
per day and include a daily aerobic exercise program 5 days
per week. This will increase your metabolism and help you
lose weight quicker.
The
easiest method to calculating calories needed to lose 1
pound each week is below:
Women
Current
weight x 10 then subtract 500
Example,
Sue is 170 pounds so ……. 170 x 10 = 1700 calories …. Now
subtract 500 calories = 1200 calories per day.
Men
Current
weight x 11 then subtract 500
Example,
Joe is 220 pounds so …….. 220 x 11 = 2420 calories ….. Now
subtract 500 calories = 1920 calories per day
Now add
30 minutes of calorie burning activity like fast pace
walking, cycling, stationary biking or elliptical training
at the gym and you increase your calorie burn by 300 to 500
calories.
