Calories
in One Pound of Fat
According
to weight loss experts, there are about 3500 calories in one pound of
body fat. So, if you create a 3500-calorie deficit through diet, exercise
or a combination of both, you will lose one pound of body weight. In order
to lose 2 pounds of weight, create a calorie-deficit of 7000 calories,
and so on.
Reduce
Calories-In or Increase Calories-Out (ideally, both)
The
calorie deficit can be achieved either by calorie-reduction alone, or
by a combination of fewer calories-in (diet) and more calories-out (exercise).
