[QUOTE="fcukernaut, post: 95331"] Well I have a few suggestions as well. When tracking weight loss, always measure in pounds. It sounds better to say "I lost 10 pounds!" than it is to say you lost 0.7 stones. Plus it does have a psychological benefit of making you feel better with that bigger number. Also, losing weight depends on the intake and output of calories. So say you're taking 3000 calories a day and only burning 3000 calories, it doesn't matter if you're taking those 3000 calories in through eating ice cream or carrots, you won't lose weight unless you burn more than you're taking in. If you take in 2800 and you burn 3200, you're going to lose weight. You will also want to note that just going for a 10min run, you won't be burning fat. You must do constant vigourous cardio for at least 20mins to start burning fat, anything less and you're just burning through carbohydrates. There is an exception and that is if you're obese or just do absolutly nothing you will see benefits from any form of exercise. Now, there is a way to calculate your daily caloric needs, it might be a bit complicated but I'll try to explain it. Through the Harris-Benedict equation you can figure out your resting metabolic rate(RMR). That's basically what your body essentially needs. You'll need a pen, paper and possibly a calculator, depending on your intelligence level. The formula for males is: RMR= 66.5 +(5 x your ht. in cm) + (13.7 x your wt. in kg) - (6.8 x your age) You then take that number and multiply it by either 1.4, 1.6 or 1.8 depending on your level of activity. 1.4 being very little activity, 1.6 being moderate activity and 1.8 being very active. That number will give you your round about caloric need. I'll do mine for example: RMR= 66.5+(5x182cm)+(13.7x86kg)-(6.8x17) RMR= 66.5+(910)+(1178.2)-(115.6) Resting Metabolic Rate= 2039.1 My activity level is 1.6. RMRxFactor= daily caloric need 2039.1 x 1.6=3262.56 kcal/day So I need to burn 3263 calories per day to start losing weight. Not sure if anyone followed that but what the hell. [/QUOTE]
