The Best Weight Loss Strategy!!! Part 2

A safe weight loss is anywhere between 1-2lbs per week. In terms of calories this relates to a deficit of 3500 calories per week or 500 calories/day.

In other words in order to loose a pound per week a person has to do one of the following.

1. Eat 500 calories less per day
2. Exercise to burn atleast 500 calories per day
3. Combine both (best strategy) i.e. eat atleast 250 calories less per day and excercise at low to moderate intensity to burn 250 calories.

The key to any plan is however consistency.

Keep doing whatever you are doing for an extended period of time and don't be disappointed if you don't see the results right away.

Remember the old adage "SLOW and STEADY WINS THE RACE".
