February 22, 2008, Newsletter Issue #104: The ways to lose 1 pound of body fat
Tip of the Week
It is possible to lose a couple of pounds while burning next to zero calories. Of course, it'll be water loss. To lose 1 pound of body fat, one has to burn 3,500 Calories or, to be exact, to create a negative caloric deficit in 3,500 Calories.
If you are self-disciplined enough, you can limit your calorie intake by 250 Cal. a day and lose roughly 1 pounds every two weeks. You can also exercise to burn 250 Cal. every day and also lose 0.5 lbs a week. Naturally, combining these two approaches, you can hope for losing a pound a week.
But did you know that low carb, high fat diet can allow you to eat 300 extra calories and still lose weight? It's possible because on this kind of diet several things happen:
1. Your body produces and releases more heat thus losing calories at rest
2. Your appetite decreases making possible for you to eat less without hunger
3. The absence of hunger insures that your body doesn't perceive the' caloric deficit without rushing into the starvation mode.
