HOW TO SHED OFF ONE POUND IN 60 MINUTES
THE SMART WAY TO CREATE A CALORIE DEFICIT
BY CHARLES A . LAVERTY
Diet and exercise just doesn ’ t burn enough excess calories to make a difference in weight loss unless you do a lot of both and can live with slow results over a long period of time .
One pound is 3,500 calories and it takes an average-sized woman SIX HOURS of exercising to burn 3,500 calories . For example , a 160-pound person will burn 183 calories in a 60-minute Hatha ( basic ) yoga class , according to the Mayo Clinic .
Golf burns 330 calories if you walk and carry your clubs . An hour of aerobics is about 480 calories . An hour of swimming laps is about 510 calories . Running at 5 MPH is around 590 calories .
The argument means people must work out a lot and change what they eat to have any measurable difference and they still must change both those habits over the course of months . It is no wonder , so few people succeed .
Diets Don ’ t Work Either To lose one pound of fat a week you need a 500 calorie a day deficit . So , twenty pounds means doing that for about 140 days . Creating a 500 calories per day deficit requires a lot of change in your diet and you must put up with that while the scale moves painfully slowly .
Despite the scientific language , all diets ; intermittent fasting , Keto , low-carb , Paleo , etc . are just different ways to help people get into a caloric deficit and stay there . Yes , cutting carbs does make it easier for many people . But eating in drastically different ways for months or more is hard and if you can ’ t commit to a permanent change in eating you can ’ t expect a permanent change in weight .
Failure and the Feeling of Hopelessness Makes People Accept Being Obese
This poor calculus of too much work and too much sacrifice over too long a period for too few results discourage many . And the inability to make diet and exercise permanent parts of your life means most successes turn to failure and those people will eventually just give up .
At the core of this hopelessness are a lot of other problems including eating disorders , body issues , self-esteem problems , and much more . Nobody likes to fail , and we wear our failures to maintain our weight all the time and for all to see . Think of how many things people never try just because they fear failure .
TESTIMONIALS
RAY L . AN ECONOMIST ON WALL STREET
“ EMS is exactly what I needed . I ’ ve had so much muscle atrophy and I ’ ve got two very severely contracted legs . After you ’ ve worked with me , the next day my legs were both decontraced . I ’ ve needed so much botox in my legs to help lessen the pain and after I train with EMS the pain is reduced .”
