Weight Loss vs. Calories
The purpose of this program to let you calculate and
see the effect caloric intake has on weight loss. The program
works best when you have been on a diet for 6 weeks or more
and have kept a count of your daily (therefore weekly)
calorie intake. However, you can give the program estimated
values and it will calculate them. The big benefit is to let
you see how as little as 500 calories a day, more or less,
can result in a 1 pound gain or loss per week.
Looking at the form, you see that you are to enter the total
pounds lost in the first box. Then you enter the total number
of weeks that it took you to lose that amount of weight.
Hopefully, you have been counting calories each day and know
how many calories per week, on the average, it took you to
loose the weight. If you know, enter it in the box for
either a woman or man, whichever applies. If you don't know
how many calories you ate, an average amount is supplied
for you in the boxes. Normally, a woman should be on about
a 1200 calorie per day diet, and that would result in the
8400 calories per week that you see. A man would be on just
slightly over 1400 calories per day, or 10,000 a week.
Once these values are entered, click on the "Calculate" box
and the resultant values will be displayed for all items.
The primary objective of this program is to let you see how
many calories per week and per day it will take you to stop
losing weight when you get to GOAL. However, you should
continue to count calories and take in just the amount it
takes for you to maintain and NOT GAIN the weight back.
After some period of time (usually a couple of months) you
will be in the habit of taking in the right amount of
calories per day to maintain your new weight level. If you
start to gain, just go back on the diet and calorie counting
to lose it before it creeps up to become a problem again.
Knowing what you eat (FOOD LOGS) and the calorie amounts
consumed per day/week is the only truly effective way to
lose weight and keep it off. Always eat healthy when dieting.
Eat a lot of raw and cooked vegetables and a lot of fresh
fruit for the bulk of your calories.
There is quite a bit to learn from this short and
compact program.
