Losing Weight

Most people think that in order to lose weight, you need to burn more calories than you take in. But that’s not how it works.

Most weight loss occurs when the range between calories taken in and calories burned is between 300 to 500. In other words, if you’re consuming 2,000 calories per day and burning 1,800, you’ll still lose weight, as long as you’re somewhere within this range.

When you try to starve yourself, or take in fewer calories than you’re used to, the body reacts and goes into storage mode. It stores all the fat it can and continues to if you keep starving yourself.

When you keep your body’s metabolism high by giving it enough fuel, it burns more calories. Get some free information on metabolism by signing up for my mailing list on the right sidebar of this blog!
