If
you want to lose weight, CALORIES DO COUNT!
If you want to lose weight, you have to burn
more calories than you consume. All physical
activity burns calories, even activities like
standing, sitting and sleeping. The more vigorous
an activity, the more calories burned. To lose
1 pound, you must burn 3500 excess calories
(500 calories per day over the course of a week).
Health
care professionals recommend slow weight loss
as the safest and most effective plan. You lose
weight gradually over a period of time.
One-half to one pound per week slow weight loss
promotes long-term loss of body fat.
If
you reduce your calorie intake by 300 calories
a day and increase your activity to burn 200
extra calories per day, you can expect a steady
weight loss of approximately one pound per week
The
heavier a person is, the more calories they will
burn. Look under your average weight category below
to see how many calories you burn per 10 minutes
while doing a particular activity. Or you can use
a simple calorie calculator by following this link
to use our Calorie
Calculator to see how many calories
you will burn (for your weight) for many different
activities.
