- So, if you were to reverse that trend and cause yourself to eat on average
- 200 calories less than you burn; it's only a matter of time before the pounds
- drop off. So far, you are an active person as your posting relates. I'll have to
- assume that your bodyfat percentage remains unchanged because you do not have
- control over your eating.
-
- And to that end, things get easy. All you need is determination and some self-
- sacrifice. Learn to like being a little hungry and learn to eat lowfat foods and
- high carbohydrate foods. Keep you daily caloric intack to about 1600-1800 for an
- extended period of time. Also, figure the approximate number of calories you burn
- on a daily average due to exercise and add that to your base metabolic rate.
-
- For example:
- BMR -1900
- Daily exercise - 500
- Daily diet +1800
- -------
- Total - 600
-
- Multiply -600 by 10 and you get -6000. Multiply that -600 by 100 and you get
- 60,000. See where this is going. 100 days roughly equals three months. Which, by
- the way, is a very safe rate in which to drop 21 or so pounds. If you were to in-
- crease that -600 to say -800, your results will come even faster. Only, be pre-
- pared to deal with hunger. Make sure to become aquainted with the calorie content
- of foods and organize a good daily caloric intack of 1600-1800 calories spread over
- four meals. This gives you a 400-450 calorie range per meal. Make sure to eat
- plenty of vegetables, drink lots of water, and don't pump too much on the protein
- end of things. Keep the protein around 100-150 calories of each meal and the
- rest spread among the other food groups.
