If I burn off 7,7000 calories will I really lose 2 lbs?

If I burn off 7,700 calories will that guarantee the 2 lbs weight loss per week?

A pound of fat is equal to 3,500 calories so in theory, yes. You would have to perform great amounts of cardio and weight lifting every day. For example, when I run 4 miles and walk one mile it comes out to about 710 calories. That takes a lot of energy and thats not even 1,000 calories on my own without my body's regular metabolic function. You have to dramatically change your diet and add to your deficit. Most of the time when people lose weight the first 10 pounds is water loss but it is possible! Don't give up. The time will pass anyway! A moment on the lips is a lifetime on the hips.

There's no magic calorie number that you have to burn. Too many variables between people and you have to account for differences in calorie intake. Can you lose 2 lbs per week? Absolutely. You just need to focus on ingesting healthy calories, and burning more calories than you consume. Moderate excercise combined with proper calorie intake and loss, and yes, 2 lbs a week is easy.

Thanks for your repy:)
So my BMR is around 1400 so if I eat 1200 calories and burn off 600 calories at the gym...I should lose that one 2lbs in a week?

it really depends on your body and how it functions but generally yes. and the type of foods you choose to consume will benefit greatly as well.

Yes. Each lb is 3500ish calories. So you have to burn that many more than you consume to lose 2 lbs a week.

No, nothing is guaranteed. It is suppose to take a reduction of 3500 to loss a proud, but I believe there are more factors that influence that. For one, how is your metabolism and how do you metabolize the foods you consume

[AndyWes]

To be precise, it's burning off 7,700 calories more than you eat, right?

[Asker]

yes thats right

[bubbletrouble]

3500 calories is a pound so 7000, not 7700.

A marathon a day should do the trick
