[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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 what women in DCUMlandia are drinking regular coke or eating TWO CANDY BARS a day? [/quote]

A better idea is to cut out 5 glasses of wine (for those who have a glass with dinner).  That's over 500 calories.[/quote]

Did you know there’s debate of how well the human body can even metabolize alcohol calories? Safe to say cutting wine won’t yield as much benefit as you think and certainly not 1:1 with food calories. [/quote]

I don't even think there is much debate. Alcohol calories cannot be stored as fat...only used as energy, and not every calorie is uable by the body since it is a toxin. So your 120 pour of wine is more like 60 calories. Your body will use what it can as quickly as it can, and if it can't be used, it will be converted to acetic acid and excreted.

The thing is, your body pretty much stops burning any other energy ingested as it tries to get rid of the alcohol and this only counts for pure alcohol...no mixed cocktails.[/quote]

Huh.  This is why I’ve continued losing weight by cutting food calories while still drinking my wine.  [/quote]

And now I understand why so many alcoholics are thin. [/quote]
