3,500 calories in one pound of fat.

There are 3,500 calories in one pound of fat. So, if you cut back or work off just 3,500 calories, you will lose an entire pound of fat. While it is possible to cut back on your calorie intake and increase your exercise regimen in order to lose pounds quickly, it is important to note that doctors recommend that you lose no more than 2 pounds of weight per week in order to ensure that your body properly adjusts to the weight loss.
Here are some tips to help you safely drop 3,500 from your regular routine:

Run

Running for about 1 hour at a slow pace will help you lose approximately 350 calories, depending on your body type, metabolism, speed and terrain. Thus, if you run for one hour five days a week while maintaining a consistent diet, you will safely lose one pound.

It is important to understand that many people who just begin running will eat pasta and other foods high in carbohydrates in order to compensate for the exertion. They think that because they worked out so hard, they deserve a treat, this can be a trap. However, what they may not realize is that while they are justified in thinking that the carbohydrates will infuse their workout routine with energy, they are not actually setting their bodies up to lose weight. When you burn 350 calories but intake 450 over a high-carbohydrate pasta dish, you are adding more calories to your body than you otherwise would have.

Running does, however, help to boost your metabolism and change your muscle tone so that you burn calories more efficiently. Instead of inhaling a pasta dish after a run, select instead to have a large salad and splurge for the carbohydrate-rich croutons and make sure you drink a lot of water before you eat this will rehydrate you and and help fill you.

Eat In

When you eat out at a restaurant not only are you generally subjecting your body to an array of high fat, high calorie foods, but you are also tempting yourself to eat a larger portion than you might normally eat. Therefore, what could be a simple 500 calories meal can easily turn into a 1500-calorie fat fest. In order to lose weight by cutting calories, it is essential that you are aware of exactly what you are putting into your body. Especially in the beginning of your new routine, it is important that you prepare your meals and monitor your level of hunger.

When eating out if you are in a social situation where food is not a priority just spending time with your friends people tend to eat more than they normally would. Non-dessert eaters often even spring for the extra round of calories. If you eat out, help yourself avoid temptation by selecting a salad rather than a plate of pasta or burger. You will be amazed at the difference in the amount of calories you intake when you make simple choices such as meal option.

By reducing your overall calorie intake and increasing your level of physical activity, you will be able to lose those 3,500 calories without much trouble. Make sure that you stay focused, motivated and on task. You will shed unwanted weight in no time!

Lose 10 lbs in two weeks - "W" free diet

Age and weight are a bit like the creeping jesus vine, one minute looking picturesque and lovely, the next climbing in through the window and growing over you whilst you sleep. Surely losing ten pounds in two weeks was going to be easier than trying to lose 10 years.
 After we lost the baby, we decided that to improve our chances we would have to become a little more aware of our dietary intake, this began immediately after we recieved the news about the loss. The first step was to rebuild Andi´s immune system with a complement of herbs we found in china town; ginseng root, rosehip tea, royal jelly, omega3 and then increasing the iron and minerals with leafy vegetables and sunflower seeds.

EAT THE  DOUGHNUT HOLE, NOT THE WHOLE DOUGHNUT..

 Next stop was regulating the weight which was a challenge as neither of us have been focusing on gym life for some time. To go from a mountain running/biking, surfing, half marathon guided high carb food intake to that of a city dwelling dwadler ingesting more empanadas than one could burn in a triathlon was not a smart thing to do, and hence I accompanied Andi on her road to a healthy recovery via the route of following a healthier diet. Enter Isabel De Los Rios. It is nice to have it all laid out simply for you, even a stupid pigeon could do it (if it could read) but the key was to take the simple W free diet and follow it. Simple but not easy. Nothing white or beginning with WH and ending in EAT except cauliflower, garlic, fish and chicken.
Two rubbish sacks of food from the pantry filled with products containing WHEAT, before even the Asian cooking sauces like soy sauce etc, which contain wheat products!!
 One and a half weeks later we are still surviving on a selection of nutss, quinoa, brown rice, vegetables, meat, fish, chicken, water, in fact once we worked out what "wheat" was, it became easier and fun. We have not really suffered too much, I admit I slipped once though (don`t tell Andi,) at a work function at the four seasons hotel they rolled out a four tiered chocolate fountain that I could not ignore and covered the fruits lavishly with the yummy stuff!


 two days left and we will have made it, we have already decided to curb the amount of wheat related products in our diet and feel like it is going to help us. If you have already tried this and would like to share your experiences, good or bad please do below!


As an aside, dropping potatoes from the diet wasn´t that difficult. Simply replace with sweet potatoes, in fact you can add a decent dollop of butter to a roasted sweet spud and it is still going to be less fat inducing than a regular potatoe with nothing added!
Good luck!
