Your Calorie Counter

Healthy eating often means restricting your intake of calories.  Using a calorie counter avoids too much  calorie reduction which can slow down your metabolism and makes it all the more difficult to sustain your weight loss.

This is one reason why we suggest you don't reduce your calories by an excessive amount on a daily basis.  By doing this it will help you to keep reducing and maintain your weight loss over the long-term.

Excess Calories Are Stored As Fat

Healthy eating is crucially important for you to get your calorie intake levels correct if you are to lose weight fast.

Personal daily calorie requirements, in the ballpark of 2,000 to 2,200 calories per day, depend on a number of different factors;
  • Age
  • Gender
  • Lifestyle
  • Weight
A more active person can use more calories each day due to the fact that they will be burning more.  On the other hand, if you increase activity without increasing your calorie intake you will experience a fast weight loss.  This is where your calorie counter comes in.

Every pound of your body weight represents approximately 3,500 calories.  This means you would need to reduce your daily calorie intake by 3,500 calories to lose 1 pound.  It won't be possible to lose a pound a day that way unless you already have a massive calorie consumption and reducing it will leave you adequate nutrition to remain healthy.

Supplements can certainly help to make up for any nutrition deficiencies when you are losing weight .

Reducing your food intake by only 100 calories each day over the course of the year you will have consumed 36,500 less calories.  This leads to a weight reduction of almost 10 1/2 pounds.  Make that 500 calories per day and you will have a rapid and sustainable weight loss.  This is easily accomplished with very little change to your lifestyle by healthy eating.
