Eating 500 Less Calories to Lose Weight is a Joke.

March 2, 2010

Some ‘quick and dirty’ math today.
Here is a hypothetical situation for you…
Your basal metabolic rate is 1,500 calories (Remember, this is just an example I’m not saying that YOUR BMR is exactly 1,500).
If you include your daily exercise, and the costs of eating, your total daily energy Expenditure is 2,200 Calories per day.
So the total amount of calories that you burn in a day is 2,200.
Now in this hypothetical situation, you’ve decided that you want to lose some weight.
You read around on the internet and discover that if you eat 500 less calories per day, the over the course of a week you should lose 1 pound of fat.
So you give it a try.
You count your calories meticulously. With precision that would make NASA engineers jealous.
You know for an absolute FACT that you ate 500 less calories EVERY SINGLE DAY.
But you still didn’t lose weight.

First, I want to say thank you for convincing me to do Tabata! I was struggling to lose weight and Finally I found something that helped! I really appreciate your coaching! - Craig T.

Ever since I was convinced to do Tabata I have seen huge results, I lost 6 pounds and gained energy in the first 3 weeks. I have been working out for 3 months before I decided to do Tabata and I struggled to lose weight. At first I thought "How am I losing weight by bringing my heart rate up then cooling down then bringing it up again?" I don’t know how it works but it does! Thank you!! - Theresa F.

The first day of Tabata, I wondered WHAT AM I DOING - I AM 56 !! Five weeks later I knew that it was what I needed. I learned that I could push myself well beyond my comfort zone and feel good later. I have a marked improvement in physical as well as emotional endurance. - Lyn C.

When I was first told about Tabata I was very excited from the word go, however that excitement stemmed from the fact that I had no clue what it meant. I missed the first week of class b/c I was traveling for work so when I came in during the 2nd week I had some making it up to do. It was hard at first b/c my body wasn't used to working out at such a fast pace, but once I got into a rhythm I started to feel very good. These classes are no joke. If you stick with it you will leave there feeling stronger, healthier and overall better about yourself and what you've accomplished. I would recommend these classes to anyone. Darrin is a great trainer and he'll keep you going with his energy. - Jami L.
