Answer 1

Losing weight help

lose weight fastWe get weight by eating extra calories and incorrect amount of macronutrients. There are two ways by which we can lose weight.


* Eating less

* Exercising more


You know
1 gram of protein = 4 calories
1 gram of carbohydrates = 4 calories
1 gram of fat = 9 calories
1 pound of fat = 454 gram
So 1 pound of fat = 9*454 = 4086 calories

Note: Our body fat contains around 3500 calories, as 10% of it is water.
So in order to lose a pound of fat (4086) in 2 weeks, we need to decrease calories consumption by 290 per day as 4096/14=290(approx)

15 minute of good exercise will help you in losing around 100 calories. So in order to lose 1 pound of fat in two weeks, we need to exercise for around 45 minutes (290 calories) if we do not want to make any changing in our eating habit. So just take care of the amount of calories in the food you take. The best idea for losing weight will be by cutting down the junk food with exercising. So greatest way to lose weight is a mixture of diet and exercise as exercise builds muscles, and bigger muscles burn more fat.

Answer 5

It all depends on your body frame and your height. Im a woman and im 5'3 and i need to have about 1400 claories at the minimum. But dont worry so much about calories. Worry about what you put in to your body. Because you could eat a tons of vegies and fruits but if you eat one brownie you've had more calories. If you are trying to diet or want to be healthy i recommend looking at this book" nutritional healing" If you listen to your body eat slowly and drink a big glass of cold water before each meal your body will tell you when you've had enough.

Answer 6

Go to a goverment health site.
Enter your body weight and height, answer some questions about the type of person you are, i.e : very active, sedentary, etc.
They will then give you a chart showing your daily caloric requirement. If you eat more calories than that, you gain weight. If you eat less, you lose weight. Of course you could add excersize (if you are less active) and lose even more. Or eat more and stay the same weight. Get it? :)
