ENERGY BALANCE
The food and drink we consume in our daily diet provides the energy
and nutrients we need to stay healthy and energetic. our personal
calorie needs vary according to our weight, age, gender and activity
level, but "on average" women need about 2000 calories a day to
maintain their energy balance and keep their weight stable. Men need
about 2500 a day. The energy content of stored body fat is about 3500
calories, so a 500 calorie deficit is needed each day in order to lose
one pound. The safest way to create an energy deficit is by reducing
calorie intake and at the same time increasing energy expenditure.

SLOWER METABOLIC RATE
We all know people who seem to be able to eat as many food calories
as they like without gaining weight. However, clinical studies show
that although a higher metabolic rate does allow people to eat more
without gaining weight, slender people typically inherit a lower
metabolic rate than obese people, and thus burn fewer calories while
at rest. According to the latest theory, leaner people are believed to
be more "spontaneously active" than obese individuals and have greater
"non-exercise activity thermogenesis". In simple terms, they twitch,
or move around, or fidget more than overweight people, and this helps
to burn extra calories.

Nutrition and Calories
CALORIE CONTROL AND GENES
The amount of food energy we consume, how we metabolize it into
glucose and then distribute it to cells/muscles as energy or store it
as body fat, is regulated by a large number of hormones, enzymes, and
other biochemical agents. Thus it seems obvious that the significant
calorie surplus needed for obesity must be influenced by DNA and other
genetic factors. Even so, as genes only change over millennia, they
cannot be responsible for the huge increase in obesity over the past
two decades. One common myth is that obese subjects have slower
metabolisms. However, clinical studies show clearly that obese people
do not have slower metabolisms. Research shows that obese patients
typically have a faster metabolic rate than lighter people.

CALORIE TIP
Food eaten late at night may cause indigestion, but it doesn't lead
to greater fat gain than the same number of calories eaten earlier in
the day. It's the total amount of kilocalories that count, not when
they are consumed.

CALORIE DEFICIT
The most effective way to create the necessary calorie deficit to
lose weight, is to choose lower calorie foods and take regular
calorie-burning exercise. Good low calorie food includes fiber-rich
foods (to fill your stomach); the best type of exercise to burn energy
is aerobic exercise, although strength training is also useful to
increase muscle mass thus raising your metabolism.

ENERGY SURPLUS
While obesity remains a complex condition, experts cite overeating
and lack of physical exercise as the two main causes for the current
overweight epidemic. In short, the calorie content of our food serving
sizes is too high and our energy expenditure is too low. This leads to
a surplus of energy and increased fat storage.

How Not To Burn Calories
WEIGHT GAIN OR WEIGHT LOSS IS DETERMINED BY THE "CALORIE EQUATION."
IF YOUR CALORIE INTAKE EXCEEDS YOUR CALORIE-EXPENDITURE, YOU CREATE AN
ENERGY SURPLUS WHICH IS STORED AS BODY FAT AND YOU GAIN WEIGHT. IF
YOUR ENERGY INTAKE IS LESS THAN YOUR ENERGY EXPENDITURE, YOU CREATE A
CALORIE DEFICIT AND YOU LOSE WEIGHT. IF YOUR CALORIE INTAKE EQUALS
CALORIE-EXPENDITURE, YOUR WEIGHT REMAINS THE SAME. HOWEVER, IF WE
REDUCE OUR ENERGY INTAKE TOO MUCH, OUR BODY THINKS THERE IS A FOOD
SHORTAGE AND STARTS TO SLOW DOWN OUR METABOLIC RATE IN ORDER TO BURN
FEWER CALORIES. IN ADDITION, LACK OF CALORIES CAN LEAD TO A LACK OF
VITAMINS AND MINERALS - SOME OF WHICH HELP TO REGULATE OUR WEIGHT AS
WELL AS OUR HEALTH. ALL THIS IS WHY VERY-LOW-ENERGY DIETS SHOULD ONLY
BE FOLLOWED UNDER MEDICAL SUPERVISION. HOWEVER, IF WE REDUCE OUR
ENERGY INTAKE TOO MUCH, OUR BODY THINKS THERE IS A FOOD SHORTAGE AND
STARTS TO SLOW DOWN OUR METABOLIC RATE IN ORDER TO BURN FEWER
CALORIES.
