To lose fat it’s simply a calorie deficit
Calories is known as *Energy* excess energy not being burned off turns in to fat
3,500 calories of measurement = 1 lb

14 lbs = 1 stone of fat

You can eat junk and still lose fat if your watching your calorie intake however I do not recommend this as you will be malnourished from a lack of nutrients and you may not be full which can cause over eating (excess calories)

It’s like this if you had a choice of

50kcal oreo biscuit or 50kcal green apple, which one would you choose 😛 You can take the apple as it will be more fuller

But a calorie is a calorie in terms of losing fat, so to answer your question “Can you lose weight by just eating cereal for 2 weeks” You can if you watch your calorie budget.

In terms of bodybuilding (building lean mass etc) it isn’t 100% calories in and out, I’ll explain

1 gram of protein =3kcal
1 gram of carbohydrates =3kcal
1 gram of fats = 9kcal

You can see fats provide more energy than carbohydrates, however fats are used differently (for function) while Protein is used for muscle repair/growth, so carbohydrates are usually the main energy source. This is why people get so confused honestly, I get people saying BREAD will make you fat, CHEESE will make you fat. LOL they don’t do enough re search

EXCESS OF anything can make you FAT. Simple as that, remember everything has a calorie unless its diet soda or something or water.

So watch your calorie budget. If you were eating usually 2,000 calories per day. Still not losing fat? Then decrease your calories to around 1500 – 1600 but don’t go lower than 1,200 calories or you may go in starvation mode.

Super low calorie diets (below 1,200 calories) Never work. Because what happens is, your body will use ur muscles for energy (remember protein contains CALORIES *Energy*) So if it’s not getting enough calories it will eat your muscles and muscles are made from protein. What do muscles do? They burn extra calories…

It is all determine on your metabolism/activity rate… Some people has faster metabolism than others. For example you see Bodybuilders and athletes eating around 3,000+ calories a day and they are super lean
But they use up those energy for there muscle mass and for there exercise *activity*

So what ways can you fix up your metabolism to help you burn more of those calories well here are few from what I have re searched:

1.) Green tea or black coffee (this speeds the heart up for a short amount of time (its calorie free)
2.) Spicy foods (Hot peppers etc)
3.) Drinking Water (replace all your fluids for water instead and you save tons of calories plus u feel good and removes toxins out of your body)
4.) 5 – 6 small meals eating frequently (This is because it controls blood sugar, preventing you to over eat, which you wont feel hungry all the time and you wont feel bloated
5.) Cardio exercises (anything that gets your heart rate up, burns lots of calories such as running, swimming, skipping rope and dancing etc!)
6.) Lifting weights and getting enough protein (builds muscles, 1 lb per muscles burn 50kcal per lb of muscle tissue, so more muscles you have more faster your metabolism is)
7.) Enough sleep 6 – 8 hours is enough really for repair etc
8.) Chewing gum burns 11 calorie per hour (not much but still helps, but don’t replace chew gum for meals this is stupid)

I don’t recommend weighing scales to measure how much you lost fat. Weighing scales wont give you exactly how much you lost in fat. Weighing scales measures fat, muscles, water and bones. I suggest check your bf% (body fat %) every 2 weeks to see if you lost fat (which is more accurate to find out if you lost fat, than counting on a weighing scales. Because weight changes (as soon as you eat, you gain weight but it’s water not fat 😛 So if you do weigh your self please weigh your self once a week, empty stomach and after you urinate.

It really depends on the person…I guess I’ll just answer based on my own experience. I used to have a lot of visible belly fat (it was really gross…). This summer, I dieted and exercised and within the first 2-3 weeks, I lost around 6-8 lbs. I saw a huge difference in my body. Most of the fat around my stomach was gone, and now, I pretty much have a flat stomach except for bit of fat that I’m still working on to get off.

The average person, if on a *healthy* diet (1000-1200 calories, 15 minutes of cardio), will lose about 2 lbs per week. Losing any more than 2 lbs per week is dangerous. I lost around 3-4 lbs in the first week, and this is because I went on a 700 calorie diet. I do not recommend this because now, I feel moody all the time and feel dizzy/light-headed. Plus, the weight stops coming off after a few weeks. So moral of the story? Don’t go below 1000 calories on a diet. (I’m currently working towards a higher calorie consumption.)
