What do you have to do
to lose a pound of flesh?
When most of us think
dieting,
we think about losing seven
to 14 pounds from around
our tummies and thighs,
if not more.
We see our silhouette
rapidly slimming down.
We imagine the surprise
on everyone’s face when
we strip off on the beach
with a body to rival
Kelly Brook’s.

Yet what effort is required
to shed just one pound of
excess body weight?
If we take it slowly,
losing one pound
of fat at a time,
maybe we’ll stand a much
better chance of reaching
our weight-loss target.
Just as importantly,
we may stand a better
chance of keeping the
weight from creeping
slowly back on.
Many fad diets claim they
can help us lose three to
six pounds a week.
However, medics recommend
we don’t lose more than one
to two pounds over seven
days if we want to maintain
our health and well being.

Shift
To shift a pound of fat we
have to eat less and move
our body more.
We need to burn more
calories then we consume
through physical activity.
One pound of flesh equals
3,500 calories, so in order
to lose one pound of fat
we must burn 3,500 more
calories than we are
consuming each week.
Or we need to reduce the
amount of calories that
we are eating.
By reducing our daily calorie
intake by 500 calories a day,
we can reach a weight-loss
goal of losing one pound
during one week.
So, we can add an activity
each day that burns 500
calories.
Or we can eat 500
less calories a day.
However,
a better approach is to
split the 500 calories between
exercise and food —
for example, eat 250 calories
less of food,
and burn 250
calories doing exercise.
Some people respond by
eating one less meal
per day.
However, to feel full and
energetic throughout the day,
many of us require three
regular meals and one snack
over 24 hours.
Instead, you can cut back
on portion sizes to reduce
calories.
Make all of the three
meals equivalent in
size and low in fat.
Do not skip meals.
This may help you lose
weight in the beginning,
but it fails in the long run.
Skipping meals could make
you feel too hungry or
light-headed later in the day,
and may cause you to over
eat at your next meal.

Burn
So where do you start
in your new exercise routine,
and how many calories do
various exercises burn up?
Remember,
you’re aiming to burn 250
extra calories per day —
to lose one pound in
weight a week.
This is combined with eating
250 less calories a day.
If you aim to lose
two pounds a week,
you must double your
efforts on both counts.
Here is a sample of
how many calories
various exercises
burn off for every hour
you spend doing the activity:
child care (207),
cleaning (207),
cutting the grass (325),
dancing (266),
walking briskly (236),
or cycling at a
moderate pace (472).
.
.
Swim
Other popular exercises
we might do in order to
shift the flab include:
jogging (413),
.
aerobics (354),
stretching/
hatha yoga (236),
swimming (472),
stairs/treadmill (354),
golf (236),
horse riding (236),
sailing (177), or
weight lifting (177).
So, how do you shed
250 calories a day in order
to lose one pound a week?
Knowing the calories
contained in different
foods makes is easier to
decide what to eat,
and what to avoid.
Count
Here is a selection
of everyday foods,
and the calories they
contain per average serving:
bagel (140),
digestive biscuit (86),
Jaffa Cake (48),
naan bread (300),
spaghetti (303),
crisps (198), and
pistachio nuts (152).
Other popular foods,
which can be cut
back on include:
.
milk chocolate bar (255),
cheeseburger (300),
slice of pizza (125),
can of coke (142)
and glass of red wine (80).
So by keeping an eye on
the number of calories you
consume and increasing
your levels of physical activity
you can lose a few pounds
before your summer holidays
next month in a safe
and healthy way.
