Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Some people seem to lose weight more quickly and more easily than others. But everyone loses weight by burning more calories than are eaten. The bottom line is calories count. To lose weight, you need to eat fewer calories or burn more calories through physical activity.

Detailed explanation-2: -And if you eat fewer calories and burn more calories through physical activity, you lose weight. In the past, research found about 3, 500 calories of energy equaled about 1 pound (0.45 kilogram) of fat. So researchers thought burning or cutting 500 calories a day led to losing 1 pound a week.

Detailed explanation-3: -As your body metabolizes fat, fatty acid molecules are released into the bloodstream and travel to the heart, lungs, and muscles, which break them apart and use the energy stored in their chemical bonds. The pounds you shed are essentially the byproducts of that process.

Detailed explanation-4: -Increased and Sustained Energy Burning fat takes more work than burning sugar, and as a result, you can experience more energy for more extended periods of time.
