CALORIES - DIETING - WEIGHT LOSS

INTRODUCTION

Burning Calories is a key part of losing weight. Dieting is defined as reducing your caloric intake, but if you eat less calories, you don't tend to lose weight anyway. The key is burning the calories you eat in a day, and preferably some of the stored calories in your body.

The balance of energy intake is the key to weight loss. Your caloric intake should equal your calories burned in a day in order to remain at the same weight. To gain weight, you would be eating more calories than you burn therefore causing the body to store the leftovers as body fat. To lose weight, you must burn more calories than you eat, forcing the body to use up your energy reserves, also known as your body fat.
