3,500 calories

It takes a loss of 3,500 calories to lose 1 pound. That means a calorie deficit of 500 calories each day for 7 days will result in a 1 pound weight loss for the week. Think about that the next time you go for that extra slice of bread or glass of soda. If you want to lose weight, find a way to trim extra calories out of your day and add exercise in to help burn some calories as well. Taking 1 slice of bread off of your sandwich and walking briskly for 30 minutes can help you rid of about 200-250 calories....Little things like that add up to big results! Live Well!!!
