Posted by MN~Sue on 4/5/2005, 11:42 pm How long will it take me to lose 15 pounds if I do my fitness routine? It takes 3,500 calories to burn one pound. eDiets.com recommends you lose that pound through a combination of decreasing caloric intake to a healthy level and expending calories through physical activity. For example if you currently take in 2,000 calories a day and decreased that by 300 calories a day (one slice of pizza) and added in 200 calories worth of exercise a day (20 minute walk) you would be at a 500 calorie deficit. At that rate you would burn one pound a week. So eating 300 less calories a day and expending 200 calories a day through activity will result in a net of one pound lost per week. Obviously you could increase your activity and accelerate your weight loss. Check with NutritionSupport@eDiets.com to see if it is safe for you to accelerate your weight loss through decreasing calories.
