From an individual perspective, weight loss is simple (although not easy). It is a matter of calories in vs calories out â you cannot escape this equation. This means eating less and moving more.
A calorie is a unit of measure for energy, the same way a mile is a unit of energy for distance. Your body takes in calories when you eat -- including when you eat carbohydrates -- and burns that energy through activity. You must burn more calories than you eat to lose weight, at a rate of 3,500 calories per pound of fat.
