Therefore, to lose 10 lbs. in one 30-day month, you would have to burn 35,000 calories during the month, or about 1,166 calories per day. This schedule offers no rest days from exercise and no cheating days from your diet.
Restricting your calories and breaking a sweat with exercise will help you reach your caloric deficit. It takes 3,500 calories to melt off a pound of fat. Therefore, you must burn 500 calories a day to reach a weekly weight loss of 1 lb. Simply doing 20 crunches will burn less than 20 calories.
