Cut Calories and/or Increase Activity to Lose Weight

To lose weight you will most likely need to create a deficit of 200-500 calories per day. There a number of ways or combinations of ways to accomplish this such as increased activity or decreased caloric intake. Of course a combination of these is the best scenario. Bump up your activity a little and shave off a few calories off here and there. Increase activity by adding any of the following: jog for 25 minutes (225 cal.), swim for 30 minutes (230 cal.) or bike for 45 minutes (233 cal.) To lose calories, cut out: 1 small order of French fries (210-290 cal.), 1 individual size bag of chips (304 cal.) or 1 medium (24 fl. oz.) soda (291 cal.) These calorie burning estimates are based on a 170 pound person so be sure to adjust accordingly.
