If your weight is 170 lbs and have a body fat % of 32 percent and would like to be 24% body fat, then you would need to lose 17 pounds to achieve that goal.
- 170 x’s .32 = 54 pounds of fat on your body
- 170-54 pounds of fat =’s 116 pounds of lean body mass
- 1-.24 ( your desired body fat %) = .76
- 116/.76= 153 pounds. YOUR GOAL WEIGHT
- You need to lose 17lbs of body fat 170-153 = 17
So to give you an idea of how many workouts this would take as long as you did not eat any more that you are currently eating it would go as follows:
- 17 pounds of fat are 59,500 calories. There are 3,500 calories in one pound of fat so 17 x’s 3,500 =’s 59, 500
- 400 calorie workouts, would take you about 148 workouts.
- 6 days per week, would take you to about 6 months.
Bonus: if you do achieve this caloric deficiency through your workouts, you will actually burn more through out the day because your RMR will be fired up. Meaning you will burn more fat from just sitting around. And if you eat healthy then you could probably achieve your weight loss goal in 4 months.
Summary:
If you want to lose Body Fat correctly and keep it off for a long time, you must exercise and supplement with proper nutrition. Meaning eating foods that are not calorie empty and high in sugar. Obviously this is a very simplistic way of looking at weight loss because there other factors that we can manipulate to get there faster. But the point being that if you don’t eat smart and exercise the battle of losing the bulge is tough. I would say impossible to lose.
