How many calories would I have to burn in order to lose 1 pound?


Question:


Answers:
Yes, it is 3500, but it would not be water weight. If you reduced your daily calorie intake by 500 daily, you would lose about 2 lbs. in one week. When you decrease your calorie intake by more than that, your metabolism starts to slow down and inhibits weight loss. Exercising, in addition to the 500 reduction will help you burn more calories, lose more FAT (not just water) and keep your metabolism high. Weight lifting during weight loss is critical to prevent muscle loss. Dieting, statistically causes a loss of half fat and half muscle. Weight lifting 2X weekly can reduce that muscle loss to half or less.
