Eating To Lose Weight

The first thing to remember is that you need is to eat to lose weight. Without energy your body will burn muscle to create energy for bodily functions. Muscle also burns 70% of the fat in your body and we don't want to be starving ourselves as so many other mainstream diets emphasize.

Studies show that most diet actually burn about 10-20% of the the body's muscle mass. So its not always fat that is burnt off as people commonly perceive.

This is a radical change from what you are normally use to hearing and the reason why eating to lose weight is so important.

This is the reason why exercise is such an important ingredient in weight loss.

A quick way to determine how many calories is you should consume to lose weight is to multiply your current weight by 10.
For example: If you weight 160, you should not be consuming no more than 1600 calories to per day.

This is a rough gauge and should not be taken as a accurate and standard gauge.
