What Ken said may have sounded humorous or painfully obvious, but nevertheless, it is true.
Immediately, others questioned it and thereby tried to make it more complex than it is.
Why not try it? If you want to lose weight, just eat less and exercise more for a week, then weigh yourself. You will lose weight.
If you need some maths, well, a pound of fat contains 3,500 calories. If your resting metabolic rate is 1,800 calories, then if you cut back by 500 calories a day, you will lose a pound after a week, and that is without taking any exercise.
You will lose some lean muscle as well, so don’t reduce your protein intake. Incorporate some resistance exercises to maintain muscle mass. Walking is good. If you walk for an hour, you will burn about 350 calories.
Keep it simple!
