What losing 20 pounds for the average person to understand?
To lose 20 pounds is more difficult than it seems. It means that we must solve a complex math problem 70 000 calories.
Where does the figure of 70,000 calories come from?
Now would you want to lose fat for every pound we, science tells us that we need to burn up 3,500 calories. From there it’s simple math: 3500 calories 20 pounds multiplied by 70 000 calories. So now we know why this way for 30 minutes on the treadmill to burn 250 calories does not seem that the results we were looking to produce!
To make the math: ideal for superior long-term weight loss: 1-2 pounds per week calorific value of 1 pound of fat: 3500 calories
Weight loss of 1 pound per week is 3500 calories deficit per week-or-500 calorie deficit per day!
Note: This deficit can be achieved through exercise and diet!
The National Weight Control Registry found that 89% of people who have lost 30 pounds or more, and it keeps for at least 1 year achieved their goals through a combination of diet and exercise. Only 10% managed with diet alone, and only 1% succeeded using exercise.
Now you can not know a single burrito have 2500-3000 calories, why many are fighting a constant battle of the Ardennes. The error rate is too small and the math is against us.
One meal can literally cost you a whole week!
Weight loss can be used as a balancing act between the calories you consume (calories) and see the number of calories your body burns (calories).
Calories in foods you eat for half of the equation. The amount your body burns at rest, combined with your daily activities and exercise program to your account for the other half.
Until recently, fitness professionals, some estimates of what was really going on in your body to make this balance.
The following estimates:
The number of calories the body burns at rest (BMR) The number of calories the body burns during exercise. The energy source (fat or carbohydrates), used mainly for recreation. The energy source during exercise at a certain intensity of use.
For example, the best equation to predict RMR off 70% of the time, and the results can vary by as much as 20%!
What does this mean for the person who mean to lose 20 pounds?
Example: If they predicted * (calculated) daily intake of 2,000 calories per day, 20% error corresponds to 400 extra calories per day.
In just one week, adding 400 calories per day will total 2800 calories!
* The Harris-Benedict equation, noted that the Industry Standard, has a margin of error of + / – 15-20% in the prediction (calculation) of daily
Remember, just one pound of fat about 3500 calories.
The bottom line: If RMR is off as little as 20%, one could expect weight gain of about 1 pound per week, 3.5 pounds per month or £ 42 per year!
Again we have a large margin for error, so that you can see how this target deficit of 500 calories per day can be almost impossible.
