Key Takeaways
Learn the science behind weight loss: how to burn more calories than you consume. Discover the relationship between calorie reduction, exercise, and healthy weight loss. Expert guidance from Dr. Kapil Agrawal.
EAT LESS BURN MORE
Being active is an integral part of any weight-loss program. When you're live and active, your body consumes more energy and, as a result, burns more calories. When you burn more calories than you devour, you shed pounds. Let us do an easy calculation for a better understanding. Weight Loss Is the best mantra for fitness.
Understanding the Science of Weight Loss
Are you aware that 3,500 calories equal about 1 pound (0.45 kilogram) of fat? So, to lose 1 pound or .45 kg of fat, you need to burn at least 3,500 calories more than you consume. You should be aware that when you lose weight by 0.5 kg/ week, it is considered healthy weight loss.
To achieve healthy and effective weight loss without undergoing any crash diet course, you need to cut only 500 calories from your diet every day. (500 calories x 7 days = 3,500 calories). In this manner, you will lose approximately 0.5 kg per week without causing any harm to your body.
Calorie Reduction vs. Exercise
While calorie reduction has a more powerful impact on weight loss than exercising, exercise has a more potent effect in preventing weight gain and maintaining weight loss.
For maximum wholesome results in adults, the encouraged pointers for exercising are:
Aerobic Exercise
- Frequency: At least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity per week, or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic activity
- Examples: Walking, jogging, cycling, swimming, dancing
- Benefits: Burns calories, improves cardiovascular health, boosts metabolism
Strength Training Exercises
- Frequency: At least 2 days per week, targeting all major muscle groups
- Examples: Weight lifting, resistance band exercises, bodyweight exercises
- Benefits: Builds muscle mass, increases metabolism, helps maintain weight loss
The Perfect Combination
For optimal weight loss results, combine both approaches:
- Reduce calorie intake - Cut 500 calories daily from your diet
- Increase physical activity - Engage in regular aerobic and strength training exercises
- Maintain consistency - Make these changes part of your daily routine
This combination ensures you create a sustainable calorie deficit while building muscle and improving overall health.
