From Calorie Counter....
Weight loss tips, # 1. Play by the numbers.
No matter where it comes from, a calorie is a calorie, and it takes 3,500 calories to gain or lose a pound. Want to shed a perfectly respectable 1 pound per week? Carve 500 calories off your day by thinking through your healthy food choices and upping your exercise.
But make sure you're not cutting too many calories. Drastically reducing food intake could slow your metabolism and sabotage your efforts to build muscle, which is needed to burn maximum calories and be toned. To make calories count, choose nutrient-rich healthy foods with a mix of protein, carbs and fats at every meal for an overall balanced healthy diet.
3500 CALORIES!!!! WOW! It's NO WONDER that it's so hard to lose weight! BUT we can DO IT! Yes we can!!!
This is a good one. I love Calorie Counter. They always have such good articles. It's a fine balance, isn't it? That's what makes it such a challenge.
