How Many Calories Do You Need To Cut To Lose Weight?

Good morning, blogger friends!

We've had above normal temperatures, with no snow so far this winter. I love snow so I keep hoping for a big snow storm. Maybe I should take advantage of the warmer weather to get outside and walk. Especially since my little vacation last week set me back.

I decided I better get on the scale this morning so I would know if I needed to cut back my calorie intake for a few days, if I gained while I was on vacation. I got on the scales this morning and thought ummm I am going to keep this is a secret but I need to be held accountable for my actions. Uggg I gained 5 pounds. I deserve the results of my actions. I didn't take SlimMax while I was gone which caused me to get off track. The good news is I am back on track today.

How many calories will I have to cut from my daily caloric intake to lose weight?

A simple technique for losing weight is to reduce your caloric intake by 250 calories a day and burn 250 calories per day from exercise. When all is said and done you’re able to lose 500 calories a day.

A total of 3,500 calories make up 1 pound of fat. So if you stuck with losing 500 calories a day you’ll be able to lose 1 pound of fat per week with very little effort.

Here’s the equation: You’re taking in 250 less calories per day and increasing your physical exercise to burn 250 calories per day. This equals to 500 calories lost per day, multiplied by 7 days per week = 3,500 calories.

500 cal X 7 days = a decrease of 3500 cal and a loss of 1 pound.

My goal is to lose 2 pounds a week so I need to cut 1000 calories a day from daily calorie intake.

Keep in mind that you should exercise and consume nutritious foods rather than gobbling down the wrong type of food that will make you gain weight and make you unhealthy.

Remember to take your time and don’t have the instant gratification mindset. Slowly making your caloric adjustments is the safest and most effective way to lose weight and maintain your weight loss forever. Because slow and steady weight loss conditions your body to make permanent changes in your eating habits.

This may sound hard but honestly it isn't. SlimMax takes away my appetite and cravings so it is easy to lose weight.

Until we meet again .... Stay Healthy!
