Weight Loss Plan
My weight loss plan is built upon the following:
- Theory of Weight Loss
- Boosting My Metabolism
- My Body My Temple
Theory of Weight Loss:
- In order to loose a pound you have to burn 3500 calories.
- My body uses up 1361 calories from just living (click here to calculate your BMR)
- Based on my average daily activity level I burn additional 284c, making my output before exercises, 1645c (this is my maintenance)
- In order to loose fat and keep my muscle (avoid skinny fat!) I’ll cut my maintenance down by 15%, which rounds to 1400c
- I will then burn 245c from diet
- If I workout an additional 200c a day I can burn 445c daily and burn around 1 pound every week
Boost My Metabolism:
- Sleeping my eight hours a night
- Drinking plenty of water (8 glasses)
- Green tea (three cups)
- Working out first thing in the morning
- Build lean muscle
- Protein shakes for helping to build muscle
My Body is My Temple:
- Loving myself and my body (keep a positive attitude)
- Meeting my daily nutritional needs as best as I can
- Indulge in spices to keep my low cal/low fat food flavorful and exciting
- Soothing cravings by discovering low cal alternatives
- Take pride in what I put in my body (eat clean!)
- Challenge myself physically to reach higher fitness levels— just for the health of it
