What is a Calorie? Are you eating too many?
FACT: 3500 calories is 1 lb of fat. What is a calorie? 1 calorie is the amount of energy needed to raise 1 Liter of water 1 degree centigrade.
Do you count your calories? I would not recommend it however, you should count the amount of calories your don’t eat. Cutting your daily calorie intake by 200 to 500/day will help you loose from 20 to 52 lbs over the course of 1 year. 1- 12 0z soda/day is 150 calories so you can see how it could add up quickly.
This is real important and few people know it. If your body only needs 1500 calories a day to function, and you eat 2000 calories/day. At the end of 1 week, or 7 days, (7 days x 500 calories = 3500 calories) you will gain 1 lb of fat. If you do this for just one year, you will gain 52 lbs at the end of the year.
