[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You cut 3500 calories from what?

From your 7000, 20000, 50000?

Do you think it matters?[/quote]

You cut 3500 calories a week, or 500 calories a day, from either eating less or exercising more. And yes, it matters. You will lose 1 pound a week. [/quote]

So you don’t think it matters how many calories you eat.

So if I normally eat 28000 calories a week but cut 3500 and my sister normally eats 14000 calories a week but also cut 3500 [b]we both lose weight at the same rate?[/b][/quote]

The person who weighs more is going to lose more weight when starting exercising. A person who weighs more is going to lose more weight, because they aren't "maintaining" their weight. Both will lose one pound if 3500 calories is reduced. But the person who weighs more is going to burn more calories by exercising than the person who is at their normal BMI. Does that make sense? That's why you see people who weigh above a normal BMI lose 5 pounds in one week in their first week of diet and exercise. A person at a normal BMI is going to have to work harder to lose the 5 pounds over a few weeks. [/quote]
