Calories and Weight

Calories and Weight
A pound of fat equals 3500 calories. To lose 1 pound a week you will need to expend
3500 more calories than you eat that week, whether through increased activity or
decreased eating or both. Losing 1-2 pounds of fat a week is a sensible goal, and so
you will want to use the combination of increased activity and eating less that will total
3500 calories for 7 days.
Although exercising is great just being more active is also a good way to burn calories.
There are many small changing you can make to your daily routine that will burn
calories for example:
   •   Take the stairs instead of the lift
   •   Keep walking whilst the escalator caries you up
   •   Walk or cycle instead of driving short distances
   •   Park your car further away than you need to or get off the bus one early
   •   Do some exercise on your lunch hour - swimming, yoga etc

Preventative measures

Avoid dangerous argument topics

Occasionally, to handle the tough times, you need to take some preventative measures. One way to keep your relationship out of trouble is to avoid certain arguments. Some topics are just too hot to handle, like her sense of style, for example. You might think she'd benefit from hearing your opinion on her wardrobe choices, but you would be very, very wrong. Stay away from radioactive topics such as her weight and her clothes and you'll be a lot happier in the long run.
