1 pound = 3500 calories. You need to burn 500 calories/day for 5 days. That will equal 2500 calories. Make it to boot camp all 5 days and that's easily DONE!
Then you need to cut back from your average food consumption by 200 calories/day. That will make up the other 1000 calories.
Some places you could cut 200 calories/day:
- So that's just cutting out the extra portion you may be eating a dinner
- Make healthier lunch and dinner choices. If you're eating out-you can easily be eating 800-1000 calories at one meal. Try making lunch and dinner around 500 calories each-saving you a ton of calories. NOTE: the healthier the food choice, the bigger volume you'll be able to eat and the less amount of calories! Protein the size of your palm is about 100 calories, then half a plate full of veggies is basically nothing to maybe 100 calories, and a complex carb the size of your fist (brown rice or sweet pot) is another 150-200 calories. Wha-la!
- Avoid eating after dinner. Is it wrong to eat after dinner? NO! But many of us eat unchecked after dinner. We sit down with a huge bowl of popcorn or bag of chips and just go after it. If you need to eat after dinner, keep it to less than 200 calories.
Spread your calories out throughout your day! Here are some suggestions:
