About the virus. CMV is a member of the herpesvirus group, which includes herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2, varicella-zoster virus (which causes chickenpox), and Epstein-Barr virus (that can cause infectious mononucleosis). The virus may remain dormant or sleeping within the body over a long period.
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.
In reality, 1 pound of fat is equivalent to 453.6 grams, while 1 gram of fat would contain 9 calories. Thus, one fat pound would contain 4082 calories. This would come from the equation: 9 x 453.6 = 4,082.4 . This is the approximate amount of calories that you gain every time your body consumes a pound of fat.
