It really is that easy. So it's Impor- tant to know how many calories you typically burn and how many you're consuming. For the average person, 3,500 calc- ries equals one pound of fat. Ifyou want to lose one pound per week, you could look at it this way. Eat 500 less calories per day than what your body needs, and you'll have burned 3,500 calories and lost a single pound. 500 calories x 7 days = 3,500 calories less per week which = I pound. If you don't want to feel like your starving yourself, it's important to watch the types of foods you eat. For example, the calories in nine Hershey Kisses equal that of a. nice Italian meatloaf with side dishes to boot.
