Sweating has nothing to do with weight loss. Sweating is a mechanism for your body to cool itself off. The only way to lose weight is to consume fewer calories than you burn. Try fatburn.com for a month (only $7.99) and lose weight the right way.

Hello,
I exercise every day and burn approximately 500 calories. I eat about 1000 calories a day. Does this mean that I am actually only getting 500 calories of food a day? Should I be eating more to compensate for the depletion of calories? Also, when you work out in the morning, am I burning calories from the day before? I'm so confused about how calories REALLY work. |

One of the most frequently asked questions is, "How many Calories should I eat?" The amount of Calories you should consume each day will change. We all have a basal metabolic rate which is determined by the continued function of our cardiovascular, organ, endocrine, nervous and digestive systems. The energy needs of these bodily functions create the minimum amount of Calories your body needs to run normally. Combining this with workday activities, stress levels and exercise you can determine how many Calories your body burns each day. From this information it is clear that, for instance, Wednesday will be different than Sunday. Register and log on to fatburn.com to accurately find out how many Calories you eat verses how many Calories you burn and the Caloric difference. Remember, you must burn 3,500 more Calories than you eat to loose one pound of body fat.
Although there are no absolutes, here are some minimum Caloric guidelines to follow so your body continues to function normally.
* Adult Women 1000 Cal.
* Nursing Women 1500 Cal.
* Adult Men 1500 Cal. |

Hi, I am a 13 year old girl. I weight about 120 pounds or so... and I would like to lose about 15 pounds! I bike for about 3 hours and I eat less then 1000 calories each day. I sometimes climb stair or play tennis or walk. I want to lose 15 pounds before i begin school, in about 8 weeks. I was thinking about losing 2 pounds each week. Will this work out for me? |
