A daily deficit of 500 to 600 calories, through a combination of calorie reduction and increased activity, will produce amazing results over time. In fact, you can lose 50 pounds a year on a 500-calorie-a-day deficit. The key is having the patience to stick with it. Regular meditation will help you develop that patience.
As previously discussed, keep a journal of what you eat each day and the calories of every item. This information will tell you whether you need to adjust your activity level if you have consumed too many or too few calories. Planning your meals in advance will greatly help this process and all of the meals and snacks in the magnetic meal plan include calories by component, so you ratchet up or down as needed.
Your Calorie Requirements
The calories you need each day to maintain a steady weight depend on something called the RMR, which stands for “resting metabolic rate” and essentially means your metabolism. To calculate your RMR go to the Calorie Calculator on www.magnetic-diet.com, which will perform all the math for you. Click here to access.
If you’d rather do it yourself, it’s fairly simple. First, carry out both of the formulas below:
The Harris-Benedict equation:
For men
((W/2.2) * 13.75) + (5 * (H * 2.54)) – (6.76 * A) + 66
For women:
((W/2.2) * 9.56) + (5 * (H * 2.54)) – (4.68 * A) + 655
The Mufflin equation:
For men:
((W/2.2) * 10) + (5 * (H * 6.25)) – (5 * A) + 5
themselves. However, too much aerobic exercise together with too great a reduction in calorie intake may also lead to muscle loss.
