The Magic Formula for Weight Loss

There are numerous programs offered to you for weight loss.  Some are too complex and some are simple to follow. Before you can resolve anything though; you have to know first the primary cause of such occurrence.

 For weight loss, the magic formula is this: Calories taken in = spent

You can remember this very simple formula as you go along with your quest of losing weight.   You should be aware that the calories you take in and spend should be based on your body mass and your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR). Your BMR is the calorie-count you spent when you are at rest.

Taken in

Everything we eat has a corresponding calorie.  Usually fruits and vegetables yield the least amount with the exception of a few, like avocadoes and almonds.  Fats yield the most number of calories.

Here are some foods and the equivalent cal:

Avocadoes- ½ cup = 240

Almonds - ½ cup = 800

Oatmeal – 1 TBSP = 12

Carrots- 2.5 oz= 25

1 bottle of beer = 150

Red wine = 100- 450

Each food has equivalent calorie count.  You need a good book about the number of calorie-counts each food provides so you can compute exactly what you need to burn off.  If you do not spend all of which you have taken in, then their conversion to fat will occur and stored in your body causing obesity.
