THE RULES OF CALORIE BURNING

One very important rule of calorie burning is that the output must be equal to or more than the input, because the body will store excessive amounts that are not burned up with exercise. If a person is not careful, this basic principle can be overlooked. It takes a lot of exercise to burn the fat grams and calories in many of the foods on the market today. This is why I remain cautious and stick to my lean, low fat way of eating. This, of course, does not mean I don’t treat myself from time to time, but when I do, I realize that it will take more exercise to burn those additional calories and fat grams. 

Learning the rules of calorie burning reminds me of money in the bank. Just like certain items we buy require more money to purchase them, certain foods, because of their content, require more exercise in order to burn the calories. When it comes to literal money, it means you, for example, have to have sufficient money to cover the check or there is a deficit and this results in penalty fees charged by your bank. When it comes to the foods we eat, there must be sufficient exercise to burn the calories or the deficit here is extra weight gain. If a person does not do the additional exercise, this means, in a figurative sense, you have spent more than what you have in the bank

It is always good to have more money in the bank. The extra amount accumulates interest for you and the additional interest works to increase the financial revenue you have. When it comes to calorie burning, the principal is the same. It is always good for the output to exceed the input, because the additional output helps the body’s metabolism work much more efficiently in not only losing weight, but maintaining a healthy weight. This, of course, adds up to great gains for a healthier lifestyle. 

Leaning the rules of calorie burning has been both challenging and rewarding. The rewards have certainly out weighed the challenges and this gives me great joy. It has also motivated me to stay on the right track so I can continue to make progress.
