Regardless of what you think or what you’ve heard, losing unwanted weight comes down to one simple truth: consume fewer calories than you burn, and you will lose fat.
Other factors, like eating low-calorie foods that are rich in protein, vitamins, minerals, fiber and other nutrients, your level if daily activity, and genetics also play a role in fat loss, but caloric intake reigns supreme in anyone’s fight to lose weight. Experts say that those who are attempting to shed pounds should have a weight loss goal of about 0.5-2 pounds per week. This way, your body has adequate time to adjust, and you’re more likely to keep the weight off in the long-term.
The absolute minimum daily calorie intake should be 1200 for women and 1500 for men. Anything less than this and your body may not have enough energy to function properly throughout the day, which according to studies, could have a drastic impact on your immune system. According to Jennifer Fenton with the Department of Food Science and Human Nutrition at Michigan State University, a very low-calorie diet can have a negative impact on the body’s immune system.
Focusing too much on the calorie-intake aspect of our diets and not enough on the nutrients contained in those calories may also result in us being hungrier throughout the day and only achieving temporary weight loss.
Generally speaking, we must reduce our total calories by about 500 per dayto lose around one pound in a given week. So for dieters, the question becomes: How do we decrease our calorie intake while also getting an acceptable amount of nutrients?
