Burning Calories - the simple facts Burning Calories - the simple facts
 		Save Tip

To lose one pound, you must burn about 3,500. That means you can eat 100 fewer Calories a day for 35 days, or 500 fewer calories for seven days, or walk an hour a day for 22 days, or do a combination of the two by eating less and moving more. Remember, even if you're exercising more than usual, the Calories-in, Calories-out rule still applies: If you take in more than you burn, you'll gain weight.

Rolo “ It is common sense, but many people lack that. I have many clients that think just because they do a great workout, that they can eat whatever they want. This tip is easy as A-B-C 1-2-3, yet so many people just don't listen. ”

OzzieOcean “ So many people feel that if they jog for 25 minutes on a certain day they can eat whatever they want. That calorie in/out rule is the golden rule to weight loss. I find the best way to feel great is to eat right and exercise often... then on a day when you do pig out, you really have little to feel guilty about. (So long as it is a rare event!).
Very good tip! ”
