[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Divided by five is 500 cal a week. Assuming maintaining a current diet , does that mean I need to set my Apple Watch move ring to 500 to start seeing weight loss?[/quote]

I think if you want to lose 1 pound a week, which is a healthy weight loss, you cut out 500 calories a day. Or you workout and lose 500 calories. It's not that easy to workout and lose 500 calories a day.

McDonald's french fries, size small are around 400 calories.

Two cans of coke are around 400 calories.

Two candy bars are around 400 calories.

A microwave popcorn is around 300 calories. [/quote]

Those are easy to cut out for people who eat like that but [b]what women in DCUMlandia are drinking regular coke or eating TWO CANDY BARS a day[/b]? [/quote]

Maybe new moms are snacking while they prepare their children's lunches, not necessarily on unhealthy foods. The extra 500 calories a day has to come from some caloric intake (food) or a caloric reduction (exercise). It's just not that easy to exercise off 500 calories a day through exercise.

And you would be surprised how many people are actually eating a Snickers candy bar stashed in the freezer. Or they're eating a bag of potato chips they pick up at CVS. You're just not seeing them eating. They'll eat the entire box of Girl Scout cookies. Can't eat just one potato chip or one Girl Scout cookie.[/quote]

I have an obese BMI and I promise I would never eat any of that. Ever.

Obviously I eat more than I need to eat to maintain a healthy weight. But my God, no, it’s not Coke, Snickers, potato chips. It’s too much of the healthy made-from-scratch food I serve to my family because I’m hungry for it. Because my hormones are triggering calorie compensation.  [/quote]

Same! I'm 170 lbs at 5'5 and I never drink soda juice and alcohol is rarely like once a month. Candy bars? Never. Sometimes I have a piece of dark chocolate after dinner. There's no Frappuccino addiction to cut out. I have to measure freaking teaspoons of olive oil on my roasted vegetables to lose weight. It's a cruel joke. [/quote]
