Regardless of the vast amount of information and misinformation out there about diet and exercise, weight loss is not that complicated.
Having gone through the ups and downs of weight gain and loss for the past 6 years has taught me a lot. Mainly is the fact that the process of losing weight isn’t as difficult as some would make it out to be. It’s fairly simple when you look at the broader picture, in fact.
What Makes it Simple
The simple fact is, if you eat less than you burn, you WILL lose weight. That’s a scientific fact! Calories in, versus calories out is the only way you can lose weight. That seems like common sense, but it is also the part that everyone seems to struggle with the most.
Why is the struggle so real?
If weight loss is not that complicated, then why do so many people struggle to make is a sustainable lifestyle? In 2017, 42.4% of Americans were obese. That’s up from 30.9% in 1999. The average American consumes between 2500 to 3500 calories a day. To lose weight, one should eat in ranges from 1500 to 2000 calories a day.
The Math Behind Weight Loss
1 pound of body fat is equivalent to 3500 calories. Therefore, to lose 1 pound of body fat, a person would have to be a caloric deficit of 3500 calories. That is the simple and honest truth behind the math of weight loss.
While technically it doesn’t matter what you consume to lose weight, your health heavily depends on the type of calories you eat. You CAN lose weight eating 2000 calories of cheesecake every day, but your body will hate you. 2000 calories of a balanced diet would do your body much better, while also losing weight.
My goal is to provide you with the resources to lose weight and be healthy at the same time. In fact, if you can combine CICO (Calories In Calories Out) with healthy food and exercise, you can lose a lot of weight fast and have a healthy body, inside and out.
