About the virus.

You Need to Burn 7,000 Calories to Lose a Pound, Not 3,500. If youâve ever calculated how much weight youâll lose by cutting out a certain number of calories a day, you know the most famous equation in dieting: 1 pound of fat = 3,500 calories. Too bad that equation is wrong.
The average daily intake is about 2000 calories. One thing you need to understand is that 3500 calories equals a pound. You will need to reduce that amount of calories before you will see results. So in theory, if you are reducing your caloric intake by 500 a week, in 7 weeks you would have lost a pound.
