Ok, first off let me start by saying the info here seems priceless. Now for my question, and I apologize if it has been posted before or is in the wrong forum..
Ok, the common notion of less caloric intake can help you lose weight on its own, I understand.
Also, if you burn 3500 calories you lose a pound.. got that to..
So my issue, and maybe where I get confused, even though it may be simple... If I cut down my caloric intake by 1000 calories for example, AND manage to burn 2500 calories in a day from various activities, would I be correct in saying that along with the calorie deficit, an extra 1000 calories were burned per day, above and beyond my intake, for a combined total of 4 pounds lost?
My activities, other than in a rested state, sleeping, computer work, reading, and other non heavy movement activities, include HIIT and other hard activities on non HIIT days.
I know that many people say that anything over 2 pounds per week is "unhealthy" however, if following a strict "diet" and exercise, we cant really help it if we lose more.
Has anyone else experienced such a result. More weight loss than "recommended" by eating right and exercising properly?
Thanks in advance and I hope I wasn't to confusing.
A bit more simple
2500 normal intake
1500 new intake of proper quality nutrients (1000 lower calories)
2500 burned through various exercises.
Also, would it be safe to assume, due to the HIIT workouts that the "regular" number of calories burned through non exercise type activities would be significantly higher? Maybe changing the number of actual lost pounds.
Thank you for your time..
