Detailed explanation-1: -Take home message. A pound of body fat may contain anywhere from 3, 436 to 3, 752 calories. However, it is a myth that just eating 500 fewer calories per day (3, 500 per week) causes weight loss of one pound. This may work in the short term, but the body will soon adapt by making you burn fewer calories.
Detailed explanation-2: -Squash, swimming, running, biking, boxing, etc., are few of the activities that can help you lose about 3500 calories per day. These not only help reduce the amount of excess body fat but also tone and strengthen the important body muscles.
Detailed explanation-3: -The first thing you need to understand is that one pound of fat is made of about 3, 500 of extra calories. To lose one pound of fat, you need to create a caloric deficit of 3, 500 calories.
