How to Lose Weight Drinking Milk
Recommended Answer:
Your body needs fuel to survive. That fuel is food and drink. It's value is measured in calories which are units of energy. If you burn more energy daily than you take in, you must burn from your body and that means converting fat or lean tissues to energy which has to cause a weight loss.To burn fat you must take in less energy (calories) than you burn. That way, some of your daily energy has to come from inside your body and that's when the fat gets burned. When you've burned up the calories in your GI tract, your body will turn to itself for fuel. It has to because it has no other place to get energy. Eventually, it will turn fat into energy to keep you going. However, if you try to lose too fast, you risk not providing sufficient nutrition to maintain optimal health and fitness. So, never try to lose more than about 2 pounds per week and one pound a week is better. If you burn one pound per week it will be easier to stay on your diet and easier to stay at your maintenance level when you go off your diet.• How much energy you take in depends on what you eat and drink during the 24 hour period.• How much energy you burn depends on your BMR and your activity level. • Your BMR or Basal Metabolic Rate is the energy required just to sustain your life during the 24 hour period with no activity (as if you were asleep or in a coma).• Your total daily caloric burn is the sum or total of the following three categories of energy expenditure. 1. BMR2. Your normal daily activities3. Your extraordinary activities. Here's how to calculate them.BMR (how much you would burn if you slept all day & night or were in a coma)1. Go here--> http://www.caloriesperhour.com/index_burn.php and click on the "BMR & RMR Calculator" link.2. Enter your info in all four fields and click the calculate buttonYour BMR is shown in red.NORMAL DAILY ACTIVITY LEVEL (chores, daily activities)3. In the chart below BMR, select the appropriate row for your activity level (from Sedentary to Extremely Active)4. Read your caloric expenditure in red in the selected row and RMR or BMR column.Your BMR plus your approximate daily activity burn is shown in red.EXTRAORDINARY ACTIVITIES (occasional sports, weekend activities, workouts, etc)5. Return to the "home" page or go here (again) --> http://www.caloriesperhour.com/index_burn.php and click on the "Activity Calculator" link in the body of the text. 6. Enter the required data in the fields (weight, time, speed, or distance)7. Find your activity using the alphabetic listing or the search box.8. Click on the activity you choose9. Click the Calculate button.Your total caloric expenditure for the activity is shown in red. Note, that each time you click on an activity or the calculate button, the total will increase by the amount of the activity you have selected. This allows you to maintain a running total for several activities. You can add this total to your total from 4. above for the grand total for the day. Be careful to not click more than you intend to or your total will be erroneously increased. You can use the "Clear" button to set your total to zero.• To know how much energy you take in, track your intake here ---> http://www.myfitnesspal.com/EXAMPLEIf you take in 500 calories per day less than you burn, that creates a 500 calorie deficit or deficiency and you will burn 500 calories of fat. And, if you do that every day for a week, you will burn 7 x 500 = 3500 calories or one pound of fat in a week.EAT YOUR BMRYou should not consume less than your BMR to ensure proper nutrition and the more active you are, the more calories you will burn. And, if you consume your BMR in calories each day you will know that all of your activity will result in burning fat. So, you don't need to wonder if your burning fat or not, you don't need to constantly be weighing, and you can take comfort in the fact that you're burning fat even when the scale says you're gaining (from water & waste retention).If you need more information, use the links below.
