The calories required to lose fat may vary considerably
depend on how much weight you need to drop off. Losing fat
is all about energy using up coupled with the amount of
calories consumed in a day, so if you increase activity as
well as make smarter food choices, you may actually get away
with eating more.
Finding Your Calories needed to drop off fat:
While it might be a little complicated to determine personal
calories needed to lose fat on your own, there are some
online resources that can assist you in this respect.
If you want to lose fat, then know that a pound of fat is
about 3,500 calories, so you need to consume 3,500 fewer
calories or expend 3,500 more calories to lose a pound in a
week.
Women should multiply their weight in pounds by 12, men by--
and that's how Some calories you need to maintain weight. To
lose fat, drop 500 calories a day from that to drop off one
pound in a week.
Slow and Steady: You'll note that most of the online calorie
calculators suggest losing about a pound of fat a week.
While it is certainly possible to lose more fat in a week if
you really worked at it, but this is a healthy rate and
simple for most people to achieve either through eating less
or by moving more.
If you think about this last statistic, that cutting 500
calories a day may help you drop off one pound in a week,
you may see that it doesn't have to be difficult to drop off
weight, especially if you are working out more in addition
to your less eating.
If you burned just 300 more calories in a day exercising
you'll only need to cut about 250 calories from your daily
diet in order to lose one pound a week. If you unite cutting
calories and working more, you could drop off two pounds a
week and meet your fat loss goals even faster.
The main problem with counting calorie as a means to lose
weight is that we tend to underestimate how much we are
eating. We may not know the calorie counts of foods that we
eat out. Keeping a food diary may help track precisely what
you're eating, or you may just supplant high-calorie foods
with more vegetables and fruit and you will be well on your
way to losing fat.

Goal Setting Secrets to Avoid Sabotaging a Calories Loss
by Rowena French
One of the most common mistakes that people make when it
comes to weight loss is setting unrealistic expectations
about how much weight they need to lose and how fast they
can lose it. Setting unrealistic weight goals is really
sabotaging your calories loss diet and your efforts to lose
weight. That is why it is important to have some tools you
can use to set realistic weight loss goals for yourself.
The rate of weight loss is considered by doctors and others
in this field to be approximately 1-2 pounds each week.
These may not seem much but it is sufficient for your body
to accommodate your weight loss and remain healthy and it is
also enough to continue to lose weight over an extended
period of time. Aiming for a weight loss greater than this
will see you needing to make drastic cuts to your calories
loss diet that may not be sustained and may also see you
quitting your quest for a slimmer, healthier body and life.
Lower your expectations because losing one to two pounds per
week is healthy and if you weigh yourself at the end of the
week and you have only lost one or two pounds, do not
consider that a failure because it is not. Congratulate
yourself on sticking to your calories loss diet, losing that
weight and focus on losing another one to two pounds the
next week. If you celebrate each pound lost you will be
motivated to keep losing weight and you will be losing
weight in a healthy way with far greater prospects of
keeping it off.
Think in percentages, not pounds as weight loss is not just
about losing a set amount of weight. If you want to get
down to a healthy weight and stay there you should focus on
losing 10-20% of your whole body weight, not just the amount
of pounds you want to lose. You may be surprised about the
amount of weight you need to lose for a doctor to consider
you healthy so if you weigh 200 pounds, losing just 20-40
pounds could put in a healthy weight range.
Include more than one form of weight loss measurement to see
all aspects of your weight loss as your body changes shape.
You can see evidence of your weight loss as this is measured
on your scales but measurement of the size of your chest,
stomach and hips is another effective way to confirm the
re-shaping of your body. Including more than one way of
measuring your weight loss means that you can remain
encouraged when one slows down because the other is likely
to continue to reflect your progress.
Include the number game in your weight loss goals to lose
weight safely, healthily and to keep it off permanently with
a recommended weight loss of 1-2 pounds each week, so that
to lose 20 pounds will take you around 10 weeks. Determining
a weight loss per week may seem constraining but if this
weight loss rate is realistic you will be able to reach it
and it will help you remain committed to your calories loss
eating plan and your exercise routine. The journey towards
permanent weight loss and good health is a reflection of the
hare and the tortoise story where the slow and steady hare
reached his ultimate goal!
To reach your 1-2 pound weight loss goal each week you need
to reduce your daily calorie intake each day by around 500.
To gauge this, use a calories counter and this will enable
you to calculate a balanced menu that includes a range of
foods from each of the major food groups. To lose weight the
numbers need to stack up so knowing how many calories you
consume and how many you use are the central numbers around
which you should plan your calories loss menu and your
exercise.
Set short term goals, but think of long term goals so set
weight loss milestones and celebrate when you reach them.
Buy yourself a new book when you lose 5 pounds, or a new
dress when you hit 10 pounds lost. But even as you are
celebrating each milestone, keep focused on the big picture
and how much weight you want to lose in total. You need to
celebrate your progress along the way but also stay focused
on the big prize at the end because this will make your
persistence to bring about a consistent calories loss worth
the effort.

Your Caloric Intake and Output
by Carl Juneau
What is the caloric balance? The caloric balance is the
difference between your intake and expenditure of energy.
IN - OUT = BALANCE
Your IN
As human beings, we draw our energy from food. The amount of
energy provided by a food is commonly measured in calories
(Cal). For example, a medium size apple contains 72
calories, a glass (250 mL) of 2% fat milk, 128, an egg (50
g), 78, and McDonald's Big Mac, 5632.
The sum of all the food you eat in a day (your intake for
that day) is called the daily caloric intake (DCI). That is,
the more food you eat in a day, the higher your daily
caloric intake is, and vice versa. The average daily intake,
in the US, was 2,618 calories for men and 1,877 calories for
women in the year 1999-2000.
Your OUT
The human body uses the energy gained from consuming food in
two main ways: to
fuel the metabolism when resting and for physical
activities.
Resting metabolic rate The resting metabolic rate refers to
the energy your body spends when you're awake but inactive
in a fasted state at room temperature. It is, basically, the
minimum amount of energy it needs to keep your cells alive.
That includes tissue regeneration, regulation of the body's
temperature, breathing, blood circulation and filtering, and
hormonal and nervous activity. These functions are carried
out by your liver, brain, heart, kidneys and muscles; these
organs and tissues stay active, even when you're not. Thus,
even when you're resting, you're spending calories big time.
Actually, you might be surprised to learn that, for most
people, the resting metabolic rate is the largest source of
daily energy expenditure.
Physical activity
Obviously you spend energy whenever you move. From your bed
to the shower in the morning, from home to work or school,
and any other activity. Even when you're sitting or
standing, your muscles expend energy so you can keep
yourself up. The amount of energy you spend that way in a
day will depend on what you do: some people don't need to do
much physical activity like the office worker who
travels by car and some do a lot more physically demanding
labor i.e. a manual worker, or someone
who walks or bikes a lot.
Sport and physical exercise also increase the amount of
energy spent that way by a good margin. For example, a 121
pounds individual would spend roughly 75 calories per hour
when sitting, 200 when shopping and about 450 when walking
at a fast pace. Ultimately, physical activity can account
for between 20 (complete sedentary lifestyle) and 50 %
(athlete) of your daily caloric expense. The bottom line is:
the more physically active you are, the more physical
activity counts toward and increases your daily caloric
expense.
Interestingly, exercise affects your OUT in two ways: first,
it raises the energy you use the days you are involved in
physical activities. Second, in the long run and as you
slowly build muscle, it increases your resting metabolic
rate. The fact is that a pound of muscle is a lot more
"active", scientifically, than a pound of fat.
Muscle contracts when you move, since it is used when you
train and constantly rebuilds itself to sustain its daily
effort. As we have seen, energy use can also be calculated
in calories. Your daily caloric expense (DCE) is the sum of
the energy required by your metabolism at rest in a day,
plus the energy used to do physical activity in that same
day.

How Calories Loss AND Food Fuel Cause Weight Loss
by Rowena French
You have probably heard that if you use a smaller number of
calories than your body needs for fuel through a calories
loss eating program and if you exercise then you will lose
weight. It is true, and this is the only way that you will
ever successfully enjoy a healthy weight loss and keep this
weight off.
Let us say you normally eat about 2,000 calories per day,
which is the recommended amount of calories for an average
weight adult. If you create a calories loss and cut your
daily calories back to 1,500 then your body needs to get
that additional 500 calories of energy from somewhere. It
will get that additional energy by burning energy from the
fat stored in your body.
This steady burning of additional fat does bring about
weight loss unlike popular diets or even diet pills that
promise to do this but can not in a healthy way or across
the long term. Keeping an eye on your calories intake and
the calories you need to burn is an important part of losing
weight. As for example, there are about 3,500 calories in
every pound of fat, you need to burn 17,500 calories to lose
this weight by creating a calories loss little by little
over time.
No pill can ever cause your body to burn that many
additional calories. Only restricting your calories in a
calories loss menu and forcing your body to burn fat for
energy can cause real weight loss. Dieting is about more
than just calories though and you need to maintain a sense
of balance in your eating program to lose weight and remain
healthy.
If you only eat a salad and drink diet sodas for calories,
you still won't lose weight because you are not giving your
body what it needs to function. Your diet should not be
something that you use to punish yourself or to punish your
body. Your body needs food for fuel.
There is no getting around that fact, so you need to change
what you give your body for fuel and that is where the
common sense part comes in. It is common sense to know that
your body needs whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and
healthy fats. Most of us would agree that some of these
foods are OK but how do we include them in our diet on a
regular basis instead of those high calorie foods we enjoy
the most?
Old eating favourites like deep fried chicken pieces and a
soda are not always easy to replace but if you want to reach
your weight loss goal you will need to eat grilled chicken
breast and an orange juice instead. These are the small but
significant modifications that you can make to your normal
eating patterns that will make all the difference. They
become part of your changing lifestyle and the impact they
have on your overall calories loss will bring about your
weight loss for good.
Choose to make your health a priority, watching your calorie
intake as a guide and instead of punishing your body for
being overweight, celebrate your body and feed it so that
your body gets strong and healthy. A diet that is rich in
whole grains, fresh fruits and vegetables, hormone free lean
meat, and other ingredients combined with regular exercise
is the best way, and the only way, to get truly fit and to
get your body to the ideal weight.
So, even if your eating and exercise lifestyle changes feel
a little strange at first because they are new and
different, persevere because in time they will seem NORMAL.
The greatest challenge is surviving the time of initial
calories loss. By the time this change becomes part of your
new pattern of living however, your weight loss will have
begun and you will feel confident and wonder how you ever
lived any other way.

How to Fit Grains and Butter into a Calories Loss Diet
by Rowena French
Breads and grains have endured a poor reputation in diet
programs of late but it has been good to see a return to
common sense where weight loss menus again accommodate
servings of these foods. Although too much of these foods
does not assist with a calories loss diet, we can eat some
bread and grain foods and still lose weight. Bread is often
best included in our menu in one sliced open or traditional
closed sandwiches or even as a low calorie snack.
You can throw some cereal on top of your yogurt to add some
fiber and crunch and make a great, fast and healthy
breakfast that has less than 300 calories by using
whole-grain, reduced sugar and bran cereals. You do not need
to buy special low calorie bread as most whole grain bread
has under100 calories per slice. Just remember, if you are
aiming for calories loss, a serving is one slice, not two.
Pita bread containing less than 200 calories is a most
versatile and suitable food to include in many meals like
snack time where it can be an alternative to high calorie
chips. Fresh pita bread with hummus and salad can become a
delicious 'wrap' for lunch. Brown rice with vegetables and a
chicken breast either steamed or stir fried in a wok is a
healthy low calorie dinner at any time of the year.
Oatmeal is a great filling food for breakfast and has lots
of fiber that will help you feel full throughout the day. At
lunch or dinner, eat pasta sparingly, and look for whole
grain pasta, but do keep some around for a quick meal.
Remember to eat more of an accompanying salad than pasta
when you want the benefits of calories loss.
Potato chips are high in calories and should be replaced by
other healthier alternatives like whole grain crackers and
cheese. These, along with rice cakes, one of the best diet
snack foods, can increase your calories loss when they take
the pace of salty, fatty, high calorie chips. If rice cakes
seem too bland, add tasty low calorie toppings.
It is a little bit tricky to keep dairy items on hand
because they expire, but some staple dairy foods should
always be in the refrigerator. Include in your collection,
low calorie margarine, 2% milk, the best to keep on hand and
low calorie cheese that can add plenty of flavor to meals
and yogurt. Yogurts and string cheese are tasty, portable,
healthy snacks and ensure a far greater calories loss than
chips or milkshakes.
Yogurts are fabulous for those following a low calorie diet.
Individually portioned and low in calories, they are sweet,
great sources of calcium and the perfect size for a snack
usually containing less than 200 calories. When the grocery
store has a sale on yogurt, stock up.
Some grain food and dairy food can be frozen and along with
other frozen foods contribute to a calories loss diet across
the length of your weight loss program. Pre cooked and
frozen meals are a fabulous way to provide a meal at work,
especially since you are aware of the calories they contain.
Frozen vegetables can be added to any meal in ways that
provide interest and flavour and frozen fruit in unsweetened
juice is great for a smoothie or a dessert served with low
calorie frozen yogurt.

low calorie cheese that can add plenty of flavor to meals
and yogurt. Yogurts and string cheese are tasty, portable,
healthy snacks and ensure a far greater calories loss than
chips or milkshakes.
Yogurts are fabulous for those following a low calorie diet.
Individually portioned and low in calories, they are sweet,
great sources of calcium and the perfect size for a snack
usually containing less than 200 calories. When the grocery
store has a sale on yogurt, stock up.
Some grain food and dairy food can be frozen and along with
other frozen foods contribute to a calories loss diet across
the length of your weight loss program. Pre cooked and
frozen meals are a fabulous way to provide a meal at work,
especially since you are aware of the calories they contain.
Frozen vegetables can be added to any meal in ways that
provide interest and flavour and frozen fruit in unsweetened
juice is great for a smoothie or a dessert served with low
calorie frozen yogurt.
