subject: The Secret Of Losing Weight With Calories Manipulation [print this page] Whether we are exercising and/or following a particular diet, it all comes down to the micromanagement of influencing the number of calories we need to lose weight.
Even though it sounds simple, it is really not, and at the same time it is certainly doable, but you just have to be careful in terms of how you go about it.
Let me explain to you a simple, but nevertheless, powerful formula to help you understand how the body works in losing or gaining weight.
Calories you put in (eating food) equals/= Calories Out (burning calories or energy expenditure) will result in body weight that remains the same. However, if you put in more than you burn off, then you will have body weight accumulation.
So in order to compute a certain number of calories needed to lose weight you need to find out how many calories you are eating now (assuming you are neither gaining nor losing weight), and that is called your maintenance caloric intake per day.
After explaining this simple concept let me provide you with some important points that you need to consider before losing weight using calories:
1-Following a random caloric intake is not the way to do it.
Many women get tired about the way they look, and they decide to skip a meal or two, and then wait and see the results. You need to follow a guideline with a specific number of calories so you can establish your baseline for future reviews and analysis.
2- Low caloric intake: many women follow a low caloric intake between 40% to 50% below their daily maintenance caloric intake. And although they lose weight initially, they will hit a wall and stagnate their results sooner than they think.
3-There are women who are using calories to lose weight that stay too long on a fixed number of daily calories intake, and think the effectiveness of this magic number will last forever. But, in reality, it does not. Your body will soon catch up and start to regulate itself to that caloric number. Consequently, you reach a sticking point or even start gaining weigh again.
I hope the above points give you a sense of direction when it comes to following calories to lose weight by tailoring it to your needs to maximize its effect.
