Calorie Needs to lose weight

There are approximately 3500 calories in a pound of stored body fat. So, if you create a 3500-calorie deficit through diet, exercise or a combination of both, you will lose one pound of body weight. (On average 75% of this is fat, 25% lean tissue) If you create a 7000 calorie deficit you will lose two pounds and so on. The calorie deficit can be achieved either by calorie-restriction alone, or by a combination of fewer calories in (diet) and more calories out (exercise). This combination of diet and exercise is best for lasting weight loss. Indeed, sustained weight loss is difficult or impossible without increased regular exercise.

If you want to lose fat, a useful guideline for lowering your calorie intake is to reduce your calories by at least 500, but not more than 1000 below your maintenance level. For people with only a small amount of weight to lose, 1000 calories will be too much of a deficit. As a guide to minimum calorie intake, the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) recommends that calorie levels never drop below 1200 calories per day for women or 1800 calories per day for men. Even these calorie levels are quite low.

An alternative way of calculating a safe minimum calorie-intake level is by reference to your body weight or current body weight. Reducing calories by 15-20% below your daily calorie maintenance needs is a useful start. You may increase this depending on your weight loss goals.

@greaseman,

you're right bro, pero just to clarrify arun dili maglibog ang uban

there's no such thing as changing fats to muscles...it's not possible because these are to different kinds of cells... you can only burn the fats while feeding the muscles

Of course... I meant that Figuratively and not Literally, but thanks for clearing that up.

For those of you guys who are interested in "losing weight"... There's no substitute for Hard Work and Sacrifice.

weightlifting can also make you lose weight but i think proper diet and cardio is best.

lifting heavy burns more calories than doing a lot of reps @ light weight (BURNS OFF Muscles kung pirmehon ... waste of time)... and kamo tanan, ayaw mo pag hunahuna nga mo dako mo kung mo alsa mo ug bug-at... MYTHs MYTHs and MYTHs... do you guys really think that its THAT EASY TO GAIN LEAN MUSCLES? hahahaha!!! you must be joking me... you dont have enough testosterone for that kind of thinking! especially for women...

train like a professional athlete...
