Do you think burning off 3,500 calories per day will mean that you lose a pound of fat?

[Bonita]

Actually, calories can come from a variety of sources. There are calories that come from fat, protein, carbohydrates and alcohol. If you can burn off 3,500 calories in some form of exercise, there is no guarantee you will be burning 100% calories from fat. In fact, most of the time you are burning calories from sugar or carbohydrates because they are the easiest and most accessible types of fuel in your body. Your liver holds glycogen stores for just the kind of need that exercise requires. Therefore, the best way to eliminate body fat is for your body to want to release it. That is why diet is 80 to 85% of a weight management program! Exercise is a part of the equation too; however, it should be in balance by doing it daily, not too rigorous, not too fast or not too slow.
