WEIGHT WHYS - DIETING THE WISE WAY TO FITNESS
Why does it take so long to lose weight?
Because it takes more time to lose weight than gain weight. While we can pack on pounds by eating thousands of calories per day - and for ever 3,500 calories consumed, a pound is born - we cannot possibly burn thousands of calories per day during our normal routines, or even through excessive activity and exercise.
Here is how Jane gained two pounds in one day while on holiday. Those pumpkin pie calories tend to add up quickly as do other holiday goodies.
Jane is not very tall (only 5' in height) and requires 1,500 calories per day to meet her recommended caloric intake and maintain her current weight via moderate activity.

- Breakfast: One egg and cheese omelet and a side of two sausage patties. One cup of whole milk.
- (about
700 calories)
- Mid-Morning Snack - One package of chocolate cupcakes plus a cup of whole milk.
- (about 550 calories)
- Lunch - Jane dined at Frazoli's for lunch and enjoyed a Pasta Ranch Italia Salad (780 calories), an order of Four Cheese Lasagna (1,000 calories) and a Chocolate Layer Cake for dessert (700 calories). She also enjoyed a large Lemon Ice (250 calories).
- (about 2,730 calories)
- Mid Afternoon Snack - 1 bag of buttered popcorn + one 16-ounce soda
- (about 750 calories)
- Dinner- Jane decides to dine at KFC for dinner. She has already blown her daily diet - so why not splurge today and go on a diet tomorrow? Trouble is, where dieting is concerned in individuals who are trapped in a feeding frenzy, 'tomorrow' never seems to come.
- Jane enjoys the following at Kentucky Fried Chicken: One Chicken Pot Pie (790 calories) and two biscuits with extra butter (500 calories) and one 64 fluid ounce Pepsi which she intends to enjoy throughout her lazy evening (780 empty calories). She also enjoys one Lemon Creme Parfait Cup (400 calories).
- (about 2,470 calories)
- Evening Snack - Another bag of hot buttered popcorn.
- (about 450 calories)
- Bedtime Snack - 1 pint of her favorite chocolate walnut ice cream with fudge sauce.
- (about 700 calories)
- Total - about 8,350 calories
- Jane has an excess of about 7,000 calories which in turn will create a weight gain of about two pounds. Oh Jane - how could you! Let's hope that tomorrow does really come for Jane and her new healthy way of eating.
