How many calories does it take to reduce 1 kg?
The weight per catty is equal to 3889 calories. This means that if you want to lose a pound, you need to reduce 3889 calories by some methods, such as eating less calories, doing more exercise to burn more calories, or combining the two methods. In order to gain one kilogram of weight, it is just the opposite: reduce the calories consumed by eating more calories and doing less exercise or increase 3889 calories by combining the two ways.

3889 calories sounds like a lot, but it's not. To gain a pound, you only need to consume 250 calories a day (for example, 3 chocolate biscuits or 1 cheddar cheese) or within 16 days.

Reduce 250 calories a day without reducing your diet.

Calorie consciousness

Achieving calorie intake and calorie consumption is the first step to control weight. Paying attention to calories will prompt you to change your diet. It will also encourage you to do more exercise and even change your daily habits, thus consuming more calories, such as taking the stairs instead of taking the elevator to work. Calorie awareness will promote change and achieve weight loss goals.
