Toxic's secret weight loss formula.

[Well not so secret really because you can derive it from many books on the subject.)

Using this formula I lost 25kg in 5 months:
D=Cal-(X+2400)
For women:
D=Cal-(X+1900)

Cal = day calory intake. [You gotta understand whatya eating mate!]
X = day calories burnt through exercise [eg. 1 hour walking = 200, running = 700]
D is daily calory surplus or deficit [more or less than what you need to sustain yourself. 2400 Cals for men, 1900 for women.

If D < 0 then you have lost weight on the day otherwise you have gained.
Pounds gained/lost = D/3600

So if you wish to loose 2 pounds a week total D for the week should be -3600 x 2.[Expect a lag factor of a couple of days and remember exercise may add some muscle bulk initially - but measured over a couple of weeks it is pretty accurate]

Of course the above is very simplistic and I can hear a multitude of dieticians shouting "glycemic index!"

• but you know what? It works!
