שבירת מיתוס

The truth...
While the math says 3,500 calories comprises a pound of fat, the real truth is you have to burn 3,500 calories without compromising your metabolism. You probably know someone who eats lie a rabbit and hits the treadmill daily yet never drops a pound of dobyfat. Why the fuzzy math? In a word overkill. Too few calories and excessive expenditure creates expenditure a metabolic meltdown, yieiding a slower metabolic rate. This explains how it's posible to exercise like a maniac yet fall to see a drop in bodyfat.

What to do...

just 250-300 calories a day from your diet. In 12days, you'll drop a pound. Or, without cutting calories, expend an exra 300 calories a day for 10days and you'll be close to 3,500. Become overzealous and try to cut out 3,500 calories over just a few days, and much of the loss will be muscle. Unless you're trying to look like Manute Bol, that's not exactly a good thing...

I would think though that it is going to differ between the amount of fat on a person.

If for instance, you are at 40-50% body fat, you could drop a lb of fat in 2-3 days and it will likely be all fat that you lose. Try this with someone at less than 15% and you might see half of it muscle loss.
