The Mayo Clinic Diet for 14 July
JULY 14, 2021″Cooking something from scratch can take just 15 or 20 minutes. Search for recipes that allow you to use ingredients you have on hand.” — Adamarie Multari, M.D.Get MovingMove more, burn more: The calorie breakdownYou most likely know this by now, but it’s worth repeating: Being active is an important part of any weight-loss program. When you’re active, your body uses more energy — thus burning more calories. And when you burn more calories than you consume, you lose weight. Because 3,500 calories equals about 1 pound of fat, you need to burn 3,500 calories more than you take in to lose 1 pound. (The breakdown: 500 calories a day for a week.) Ready to dive in? It’s easier than it seems. Read on to see how you can burn more calories and boost weight loss.Learn more about calorie burn »Healthy Habits
