A pound of fat contains roughly 3,500 calories, so a 500-calorie-a-day deficit will cause you to lose about 1 pound each week. You can achieve this by eating 250 fewer calories than usual -- provided your weight is steady on your current diet -- while burning about 250 extra calories per day with cardio.
The heat cycle of the female dog has three parts and lasts about 3 weeks. The first part lasts anywhere from 3-14 days during which a bloody discharge and swelling of the vaginal area are usually seen. Next the dog will become receptive to being bred and actively may seek out a male dog.
Dogs in heat need special care. Estrus or âheatâ is part of the reproductive cycle in female dogs. Dogs come into their first heat between about 6 and 24 months of age, with small breeds coming into heat sooner and large breeds later.Dogs typically have two heats per year, and each lasts about 18-24 days.The first signs of heat are typically a swollen vulva and a bloody vaginal discharge.he best way to control the heat cycle is to have your female dog spayed at 6 months of age. There is no health reason why female dogs need to experience a first heat or ever have puppies. In fact, spaying before the first heat cycle dramatically reduces the risk of mammary cancer later in life.
