Weight Loss…it’s really just simple math!
Weight loss is really just about simple math: calories in –> calories out. The problem is, most people don’t know how many calories they need to eat for their body. More often than not, individuals either consume too few calories causing their body to store fat despite attempts to lose or eat too many causing a weight gain. It’s virtually impossible to know this number by guessing or using generic formulas. No two people are the same!
In addition to not knowing how many calories they should eat exactly, most people (unless they have done a Metabolic Assessment) don’t know how many calories they actually burn during exercise. Commonly, individuals and exercise calculators factor the number of calories they’ve burned too high, causing an inaccurate picture of how much weight loss should be expected.
Our company, FitLab Metabolic Services, uses specialized medical equipment to acquire this unique information for individuals and, based on that information, we design a program to help client’s meet their individual goals. Our primary desire is to increase Cardiac (heart) health and decrease unhealthy body weight. We have never claimed, nor will we ever claim, to be the fastest way to lose weight. What we can claim, however, is an extremely high percentage of our clients who follow the program design are able to lose the weight and keep it off indefinitely. FitLab doesn’t want our clients to continue the weight loss “roller coaster” for the long term…it’s just not healthy and it’s extremely defeating.
Whether you ever contact FitLab Metabolic Services or not, there is one thing EVERY person who desires to lose weight should know: 1 lb of fat = 3500 calories.
Formula to lose 1 lb per week:
3500 calories ÷ 7 days = 500 calories
↓ 250 calories consumed + ↑ 250 burned during exercise = 500 deficit per day
Basically, if over a 7 day period you can decrease your daily intake by 500 calories per day from either diet, exercise, or a combination of both, you could lose approximately 1 pound per week. It may not seem like a lot but, conversely, if you eat 100 extra calories per day that your body can’t use, it can add up to almost 12 pounds per year. Knowing your exact information is the only way to get this thing right and keep it off long term through diet and exercise!
