Calories And Weight

Did you know that a pound of fat is equal is equal to 3500 calories?

So, to lose 1 pound every week you will need to expend 3500 more calories than you take in that week, whether that's through an increase in activity or dieting or both.

Losing 1-2 pounds of fat per week is a sensible goal, and that means you will want to utilize a combination of increased activity and eating 3500 less calories less for seven days.

Although exercising is a fantastic idea, just being more active can be another good way of burning those calories.

There are many small changes you can possibly make to your daily routine that can burn calories, for instance:

  • Take the stairs rather than the lift

  • Keep on walking whilst the escalator carries you upward

  • Walk or cycle as an alternative to driving short distances

  • Park your vehicle further away than you need to or leave the bus one stop early

  • Do some exercise during your lunch break - like swimming, yoga, walking etc
