The number 1 way to lose weight is calories in versus calories out! You have to eat less than you burn. It's not really the eat less that so many people have an issue with as much as the burn part. That problem comes from metabolism which is basically how many calories a person burns. On average one pound of muscle burns 35 cals a day while one pound of fat burns only 2. That is why it is so important to do resistance training not just cardio. With resistance training you increase your muscle mass to burn more cals throughout the day plus your post workout metabolism is in overdrive. Cardio is an effective way to burn calories, the issue comes when a person starts to eat way too few calories on their weight loss journey and continues to do hours of cardio; their then body eats their muscle which slows down the metabolism. In order to increase your metabolism you must do some resistance training. So the saying cals in vs. cals out is based upon the proper amount of food you eat as well as your metabolism.
Every day is a great opportunity to do something good for yourself!!!
