Burn Baby Burn!

Now your getting your resistance training in 2-3 times a week.You putting in your cardio for 20-30 minutes a day 3-5 times a week and your becoming more conscience of what your eating. Great!! Now what? Now you are turning your body into a fat burner. There are 3,500 calories in a pound. So what does that mean? In order to lose a pound a week we have to burn 3,500 more than we eat for that week. If we break it down for 7 days that would be 500 calories a day that we would have to burn over what we normally burn per day. The "average" caloric need is 2,000 calories a day, this is a starting point for more specificity on your individual need contact a licensed nutrionist. I say "burn baby burn" to rev up that metabolism and burn fat. Fat can be a good thing, our bodies use it for energy . We need fat to protect our internal organs as well. We need to refrain from too much satured fats from animals and coconut oil. Most of our fats should be eaten from plant based foods(olive and canola oil, nuts,etc.). If you are clinically obese, overweight, or carrying a few extra inches around the middle keep your head up, there is good news.You can do something about it. To stay positive, when I train individuals with this challenge I tell them "when I see you, I see alot of energy that hasn't been used". Their just storing energy, lets tap into that reserve and use it the way it was meant to be used - by moving more!! So stop saving that energy, burn it up! Burn more than you put in, you'll lose weight and be more energetic.....Live In Love
