Calories

Are you wondering how many calories you need to cut back to lose weight? Here is a simple guide:

Take your weight in pounds multiplied by 15. This will equal the number of calories per day to maintain that weight. 500 calories less per day will result in approximately 1 pound weight loss per week; 750 calories=1 1/2 pounds per week; 1000 calories=2 pounds per week. Keep a daily diary of calorie intake. Fat, carbohydrates and protein will automatically adjust themselves to stay within allotted calories per day.

Even if your goal is merely a change in your appearance, maintaining an exercise program will help you reach your goals and better your overall health. However, without changing your diet, the results will simply not happen. Remember that the food may taste good now, but fitting into those "skinny" jeans you wore ten years ago will make you feel better about yourself in the long run
