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.

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.
