If you watch enough weight loss commercials, you may be persuaded to believe, you can really lose 10 pounds in 3-days. The problem with these crazy claims is that there is no science to back up their outlandish statements.
Here’s the math:
-It takes 3500 calories to burn off 1-pound of body fat.
-The average (athletic) person burns 600-700 calories per hour on a treadmill.
-You would have to not eat for 3-days and then run on the treadmill for 17-hours a day for 3-days straight.
Not that’s what I would call “mathematically not feasible”. But none-the-less, “mathematically possible”, at least the fact that the math does add up, but the time frame is totally improbable.
So what does work?
-Eliminate 1200 calories a day.
-Eliminate 900 calories a day by limiting simple carbohydrates, fats, oils and non-lean proteins.
-Run or briskly walk 20-30 minutes a day in aerobic exercise to burn 300 calories.
If there is a net loss of 1200 calories a day, for 30 straight days, that would add up to 36000 calories, which is just enough to mathematically account for a loss of 10 pounds.
