How much weight you can lose is dependant on your ability to reduce the amount of calories you eat over a long period of time. It is insignificant if you eat a touch more today and a little less tomorrow. For weight loss, you need to think in terms of weeks and months rather than hours and days.
The single thing that matters is how many days you can eat fewer calories than you need to maintain your present weight vs how many days that you eat enough or even more calories than you need to maintain your current weight.
This is the easy way to picture eating for weight loss over a week ;
Lets say you need to eat 2000 calories per day to maintain your current weight. ( and lets also assume you would like to be lighter than this weight )
Lets also presume you would like to lose half a pound of fat this week. A half pound of fat contains about 1750 calories.
By the end of this week you would need to have eaten 1750 calories less than the quantity of calories that keep you at your current body weight.
It is of no consequence at all how you get to this deficiency. It just matters that by the end of the week you have eaten less food than you wanted to stay the same weight. That’s it.
The real trick is finding a way to do this constantly. Most well liked diets give you a group of guidelines to follow every day, every time you eat, taking all the excitement and spontaneity out of eating. These diets are condemned to fail because they are too restrictive. Food is great fun and social, and nobody wants to learn they can’t eat their favorite foods or that they can’t go out and eat when everyone else is and revel in the same foods and not have guilty feelings about it.
