Weight Loss/fat Loss:the Immutable Law Of Energy Balance

We say that our energy balance sheet or more simply our energy balance is positive

when our energy intake during an 24 hour period-calculated in kcals- is bigger than than our energy expenditure for the same time span.

More simply we gain weight if we consume more calories than those we burn.

In this case we say that we have a caloric surplus.

The opposite is true when we have a caloric deficit.

Our caloric expenditure is the sum of :

-our caloric expenditure for sustaining our basal metabolism

-the one for our daily activities

-and of the energy burnt for thermogenesis

What we have here is an eternal,perpetual law: consume more than what you need and you gain weight.

Let's see some ramifications of the above statement:

1.Suppose that we spend three hours to train hard every day.We will gain weight if we are in a positive energy balance.

I have met tenths of people like this.People working really hard and in a very systematic way but their nutrition plan-if there is one-sucks.It is a great pity! So hard work going in vain!

And what's more : their health might be compromised in the long run.

2. Now suppose we eat the best,more wholesome,healthier foods on the planet.We will still gain weight if we are in a positive energy balance.

Maybe we are talking here for some health monsters but the kilos will still be kilos.

3. Let's say now that we are spending all day on the sofa watching TV . We are going to lose weight if we are on a negative energy balance.

Maybe we are dramatically untrained couch potatoes but the very fact is that we will lose some weight.

4. And lastly let's say that we eat every day nothing else than the absolutely worst junk foods.Again we are going to lose some weight if we are in negative balance.

Maybe we are in a dramatic position healthwise but it remains a fact that we will shed some weight.

This is an immutable law!

Conclusion

There are a lot of quality parameters in our diets that we can perfectly manipulate but the law of the energy balance is immutable!

To your health!
