Weight loss 101: The basics of losing weight

How to lose weight...
Picture
The simple equation for weight loss is:
 
Weight loss= Energy in < Energy out
                                                 OR
Weight loss= Energy out > Energy in
 
Energy comes from 3 things:
  • Proteins
  • Carbohydrates
  • Fats
These are the 3 macro-nutrients we get our energy from. Food is our number one source of energy.
 
In simpler terms this mean you should be expending more energy than you are taking in in order to lose weight. Let’s break down the equation into more user friendly terms:
 
Expending in this sense is in the form of exercise, this can be sports activities, cardiovascular activities or resistance training or a combination of them all.
 
To break up this equation, we’re basically saying you have to eat a little less or exercise a little more. It’s as simple as that. Although it might be a roller coaster ride to lose that last few kilograms / pounds, the science is basic. Weight loss will occur if you either exercise more than usual or eat a little less than usual.
 
In conclusion, “calories in” must be less than “calories out” OR “calories out” must be more than “calories in.”
