That's easy in theory but not always the best way to approach weight loss. If you consume 2000 calories a day, it takes a LOT of working out and activity to burn 2100 calories. That's the ONLY way to approach weight loss.  Calories in vs. calories out.
You can combine the effort by increasing activity AND reducing calorie intake. You just need to know that you are burning more than you are taking in. Of course, you want to find the right calorie deficit, too little and you don't lose or it's so slow you don't notice (and get discouraged), too many and your body goes into starvation mode and you actually hold onto the weight. You just need to log the calories you eat and figure out how much you burn. There are tools online even to help figure that stuff out. |
