Why 3 Less 1 Doesn’t Always Equal 2 To Fast Weight Loss
When it comes to fast weight loss, the formula is simple and it never changes. You have to burn more calories than you take in, and that more calories equals more weight gained. Therefore, most people believe that losing weight is as simple as cutting way back on calories.
If you're eating 3,000 calories per day and you cut back to 1,000 calories per day, then those extra 2,000 calories have to be burned from your body, right?
It's as simple as 3 - 2 equals 1, right? Well, this is not exactly true.
First, let's talk about the average person who begins a diet. The scenario usually goes something like this...
One day you look in the mirror and you finally get fed up with the way your body looks (or the way that your clothes fit) - and on this day you get "angry" with yourself, and you begin cutting way back on calories in an attempt to starve yourself thinner.
So you officially begin your "starvation diet."
