Calories and Pounds
One pound of fat, stored in your body, is equivalent to about 3,500 calories of energy. If you burn up to 3,500 more calories than you consume, your body will tap into your stored fat reserves to power the extra energy expenditure, and you will lose 1 lb. Likewise, if you reduce your usual diet by 3,500 calories and keep your energy expenditure constant, you will lose 1 lb. If you wish to lose a pound a week, you need to burn about 500 extra calories each day. You can make up the difference with about an hour a day of fairly vigorous exercise, such as swimming laps or playing racquetball. Alternately, you can reduce your diet by about 500 calories a day, readily achieved by cutting out any fatty or sugary foods and eating fruits or vegetables instead.
