  • The Truth – Calorie In VS Calorie Out

    Posted on January 13th, 2010 Martin Bolduc No comments

    Losing weight should be an easy calculation between calories IN and calories OUT right?  Wrong!  For weight loss success, follow the Golden Rule of Nutrition from the Express Fat Loss Program.

    For many years we have read that in order to lose weight, we need to burn more calories than we eat. This is a real fact, and it is easy to understand: to be able to lose weight, you need to burn more calories than you consume.

    But hold on for one minute! I will explain something that seems very important in theory, but might not actually work in practice.

    Imagine someone who needs around 2500 calories per day to maintain his basal metabolic rate. As you know, in order to lose 1 pound a week, you need to create a deficit of 500 calories per day. In fact, 1 pound of fat equals 3500 calories. If you need 2500 calories per day and you only take 2000 calories, you should lose your pound a week easily right? Not necessary, and let me show you why.

    People who don’t follow the Golden Rule of Nutrition from the Express Fat Loss Program may not succeed with the calorie deficit theory.

    Imagine you never eat breakfast and you only have 2 meals a day. A big lunch around noon and a big dinner around 7:00 pm. For you lunch, if you grab some kind of fast food, it can easily be around 700 calories. Now for your dinner, it’s the carbohydrate fiesta – pasta with creamy sauce, garlic bread, why not a glass of wine and to make the perfect finish, a piece of chocolate cake. That is probably around 1200 to 1300 thousand calories and maybe more.

    If you calculate the calories from those two meals, you have around 2000 calories. If this is all you eat you should still be in sufficient calorie deficit to lose weight right? Not at all my friend! Even if you are in calorie deficit by 500 calories a day, I will promise you, you will gain weight, not lose it.

    The theory of calorie IN vs calorie OUT only works if your nutrition follows the Golden Rule of Nutrition from the Express Fat Loss program.
    The next time you grab your lunch or dinner, remember this article. And please don’t forget to take your breakfast EVERY DAY!  This is the golden rule #1.
