This document provides an introduction to calories and how understanding calories can help with weight loss. It explains that calories are a measure of energy and individuals need a certain amount of calories depending on their activity level, age, height and weight. While calories from different foods like cake and chicken are the same, losing weight requires burning more calories than consuming through diet and exercise over time. Understanding calories and how the body uses them for energy can help people stay motivated to lose weight through lifestyle changes.

2. Fat Loss Guide - The Calorie
In order for individuals to be more successful
when it comes to losing weight, it can help for
them to be aware of what helps them lose weight
and what helps them gain weight. Certain foods
will elicit certain experiences in the body of the
individual who eats the food. By understanding
more about what the breakdown of food is like
within the body, individuals can educate
themselves better.
*Education can help a person to remain motivated
and optimistic when it comes to dieting and losing
weight.
3. The Calorie
Many people understand that when they eat food, they are
consuming calories. Still, for many people the calorie is
abstract and potentially difficult to understand and get a
mental grasp on. Just because a cookie is 150 calories
does not mean that an individual will understand what that
means just because there is a number assigned to the
cookie. Calories are in many ways energy. Individuals
need a certain amount of energy in order to function
throughout the day. Active individuals use and need more
energy and need to consume a number of calories, often
a higher amount than individuals who are not as active. A
person's caloric intake varies not only by how active the
person is, it can also be affected by the person's age,
height and weight.
4. Losing weight does not require an individual to get
their calories from any particular single place.
Calories that come from cake are the same as
calories that come from poultry. A person's body
cannot tell the difference between cake calories and
chicken calories. When a person burns off the
calories that they consume, they will remain the same
weight as long as they burn off the exact amount of
calories that they consume. When a person limits
their calories or burns off more calories than they
consume in a single day and they keep this practice
for an extended period of time, they will be able to
lose weight and many people enjoy this.
5. Certain exercises, in addition to normal
daily activities that burn off calories, can
help the individual to burn off the fat and
lose weight. When individuals understand
the concept of the calorie, what calories are
used for and how calories power the body it
can be much easier for the individuals to
keep a goal in mind and help them stay
optimistic and lose weight.
