For every 3500 calories you reduce, you should lose 0.5 kg.
Something i've found on the net. www.nutrition.com.sg. Now this is a solid way to lose weight. Going to work my calculators to cut weight.
Everybody requires a certain amt of calories per for basal metabolism and activities for the day. It is estimated that a regular guy's basic calorie requirement is 2500 calories and a gal's need is about 2000. for a more accurate estimation (http://www.nutrition.com.sg/ha/hacalcal.asp). So naturally, if you eat only this amount of calories for the day, you'll neither gain weight or lose weight, cos you'll use those up. If you eat less, you'll lose weight, and vice versa.
I'm fat... need to cut 8 / 0.5 x 3500 calories. That's 56000 calories! If i cut 500 cals a day, i'll take 112 days! Woah lao.... If i include a 3 times a week 500 cals run per week, that'll average to 214 cals extra calorie lost per day. ie, i'll take 56000 / (500 + 214) days... That's erm... 78 days! That's 2 and a half months. Cool! I'll work on that, seeya in 2 and half months!
Bet you people never knew weight lost is such simple math. Of course, there's the part about exercising and eating less calories.
