Frisco Weight Loss Studio | Learn About How 1 Pound Of Fat = 3,500 Calories

If your trying to lose weight, then you need to learn that calories are energy and that they do matter when losing weight. 1 pound of fat = 3500 calories and you better realize that you wil lnot burn fat if your not calculating some of the energy output you do daily. Thus, if you cut back or work off just 3,500 calories, you will lose an entire pound of fat. While it is possible to cut back on your calorie intake and increase your exercise regimen in order to lose pounds quickly, it is important to note that doctors recommend that you lose no more than 2 pounds of weight per week in order to ensure that your body properly adjusts to the weight loss.

Here are some tips to help you safely drop 3,500 from your regular routine:

Frisco Weight Loss Running, Start Out Slow

Running for about 1 hour at a slow pace will help you lose approximately 350 calories, depending on your body type, speed and terrain. Thus, if you run for one hour five days a week while maintaining a consistent diet, you will safely lose one pound.

It is important to understand that many people who just begin running will eat pasta and other foods high in carbohydrates in order to compensate for the exertion. They think that because they worked out so hard, they deserve a treat. After all, they justify, the pasta will help to keep their energy levels high.

However, what they may not realize is that while they are justified in thinking that the carbohydrates will infuse their workout routine with energy, they are not actually setting their bodies up to lose weight. When you burn 350 calories but intake 450 over a high-carbohydrate pasta dish, you are adding more calories to your body than you otherwise would have.

Running does, however, help to boost our metabolism and change your muscle tone so that you burn calories more efficiently. Instead of inhaling a pasta dish after a run, select instead to have a large salad and splurge for the carbohydrate-rich croutons.

Eat In

When you eat out at a restaurant, not only are you subjecting your body to an array of high fat, high calorie foods, but you are also tempting yourself to eat a larger portion than you might normally eat. Therefore, what could be a simple 500 calories meal can easily turn into a 1500-calorie fat fest. In order to lose weight by cutting calories, it is essential that you are aware of exactly what you are putting into your body. Especially in the beginning of your new routine, it is important that you prepare your meals and monitor your level of hunger.

When eating out in Frisco, generally you are in a social situation where food is not a priority – but spending time with your friends is. For this reason, people tend to eat more than they normally would. Non-dessert eaters often even spring for the extra round of calories. If you must eat out, help yourself avoid temptation by selecting a salad rather than a plate of pasta or burger. You will be amazed at the difference in the amount of calories you intake when you make simple choices such as meal option.

By reducing your overall calorie intake and increasing your level of physical activity, you will be able to lose those 3,500 calories without much trouble. Make sure that you stay focused, motivated and on task. You'll shed unwanted weight in no time!

Which is better and why? Alienbees Large Octabox or Alienbees Beauty Dish with Diffusion Sock?

I have enough money saved up for either a Large Octabox --OR-- a beauty dish with diffusion sock (and some miscellaneous accessories)

which is more worth my money? i already have a slew of umbrellas, so i'm looking for a different, useful, and portable way to modify my light on-location and in-studio.

10 points most convincing answer!

The light from an Octobox and a beauty dish aren't all that different. They are different but not worlds apart like you'd expect. So what has more usefulness to you? Based on the portable part of it, I'd say the Octobox. It can fold down for travelling and is still useful. You'll probably find that outside neither one is ideal, as they act as huge sails, but the Octobox being sealed up rather than umbrella like would probably catch the wind a little less. I still wouldn't want to hold onto one in a wind storm.

Beauty dishes give round catchlights in the eyes. It looks a little more natural to see a round point of light than an eight sided or worse yet a square point of light. Umbrellas are ok, but if they are in a reflection you can see the ribs of the umbrella and it just screams umbrella.
