Safe Weight Loss • Metabolically the body can only lose 2 lbs of fat per week • 0.5 – 1 lb weight loss per week • Any faster and you will lose more muscle, NOT FAT • 1 inch waist loss = ~5 lbs • Only weigh yourself 1x/wk • Same time • eg. Every Monday morning
Energy Balance Equation Weight Maintenance Weight Loss Weight Gain Protein TEF Fat metabolism Physical Activity CARBS (Energy Intake) (Energy Expenditure)
How much weight do you need to lose? • Modest weight loss is key to maintaining weight loss • Research indicates a 5-10% decrease in weight correlates with significant decreases in health risk • Ex: starting wt = 200 lbs goal 10-20 lbs loss = 150 lbs goal 7.5-15 lbs loss
How long does it take to lose weight? • Most guidelines recommend 6 months for a 10% weight loss • If you lose it too fast it may come back fast • Slow and steady is the key • Build life long habits
Determining Your Energy Needs Weight Maintenance Weight Loss • Typically 1200-1600 calories for women • Typically 1600-1800 calories for men
Safe Limits • Men • minimum 1500 kcals • Women • minimum 1200 kcals • Below these limits • Diet will be inadequate in energy and nutrients
Your Calorie Requirements • Mifflin St. Jeor Equation • Male 4.55*wt (lbs) + 15.88*Ht (inch) - 5*Age (yrs) + 5 = REE • Female 4.55*wt (lbs) + 15.88*Ht (inch) - 5*Age (yrs) -161 = REE
