Track Your Burn Rate To Lose Weight (Read 808 times)

After you read this post, if you would like a free copy of the ENERFIT Burn Rate Calculator, go to: http://www.workoutpill.com/articles.asp?id=137 The Burn Rate Weight Loss System (3 simple steps): 1. Set a goal weight, not a goal date. We will get to the goal date in a minute. Make sure the goal is one that you can currently visualize yourself reaching. If you can't, you will never reach it. 2. Use FitDay.com or some other simple method that tracks both your caloric intake (Basal, Lifestyle, and Activity) and caloric output. 3. Track your Burn Rate. Your Burn Rate is simply the difference between your caloric intake and your caloric output. It takes a cumulative positive Burn Rate of 3500 calories to lose one pound. So, let's say you want to lose 20 lbs. You will need to have a cumulative positive Burn Rate of 70,000 to reach that goal. I have developed the ENERFIT Burn Rate Calculator (Excel Spreadsheet) that I will give you for free (see above for link), where you input your goal weight, your caloric intake, and your caloric output (take your data from your FitDay.com account) for each day, and the Burn Rate Calculator will calculate your Burn Rate each day. Based upon the daily data that you enter, the Burn Rate Calculator will calculate the date in which you will reach your goal if you continue to have the same Burn Rate daily average you have had up to that point. In other words, the Burn Rate Calculator will continually adjust the date in which you reach your goal based upon your ongoing daily data entry. I like this system because of it's simplicity. It doesn't dictate what you should or shouldn't eat. You know to eat a balanced nutritious diet, but to lose weight in this system you simply just burn more calories than you eat. Keep this point in mind: You can manage only what you measure. Have an great day, Joe Freudenthal enerfitrunning.blogspot.com

No offense taken. It doesn't mean to be by any means, but I realize I branded it with our product (I do feel there is a strong connection between ENERFIT and weight loss), but I very much apologize if it was too much! I feel like the system I propose is just a very simple straightforward way for people to track what their eating and burning and to measure their progress. Thanks! Joe

You are right on! The calculator just gives you a cool way to see when you will reach a weight loss goal in the future based upon your historical intake/output data. Try it and give some feedback on what you think. I just tweaked it today a little to make it easier to use. Thanks Joe Freudenthal enerfitrunning.blogspot.com

Keep tweaking it...new one is at: http://www.workoutpill.com/articles.asp?id=165 Let me know what you think. The algorithm now really takes into account even when a person is overestimating how many calories they are burning, etc... Joe
