CHART H: Daily Weight Release Rate Calories

In order to release one pound of weight a week, subtract 500 Daily Weight Release Rate Calories from your Daily Body Burn Calories. By the end of the seven days, you will have burned a full pound’s worth of weight. 3,500 calories/7 days = 500 calories per day = Daily Weight Release Rate Calories for one pound, which is your Weekly Weight Release Rate Calories (Chart I).

One Pound Weight Release for Week

Stick with me, we are almost there. Your body burns calories every day. When you use a defined amount of those calories to burn fat, you release weight at a rate you decide.

Daily Calorie Budget For Weight Release

What happens to the remaining calories from your Daily Body Burn after you take away the calories you are going to burn to release weight? You can eat the remaining calories in food. I call this your Daily Calorie Budget for Weight Release. It is the amount of calories you can eat each day and still release weight at a rate you decide. To determine your Daily Calorie Budget for Weight Release, subtract your Daily Weight Release Rate Calories from your Daily Body Burn Calories. Here’s what the Weight Release Formula looks like:

Daily Body Burn Calories – Daily Weight Release Rate Calories = Daily Calorie Budget for Weight Release

Case Study: Betty Thomas and her Broken Metabolism

When Betty, a second-grade teacher in her late thirties, came to my office, she had almost given up on weight loss, thinking she might just be happy being “chubby.” The problem was that she wasn’t happy or just “chubby.” Her health was failing: her cholesterol levels were up, and she had pre-diabetes.

“I just can’t lose weight. I have tried everything. Last summer I was on the Paleo diet, the very low carb one. I did okay on the plan for a while and lost about 20 pounds. But then I stopped losing weight even though I had about 25 pounds more to go. I was doing everything perfectly, too. I wasn’t eating any bread or white foods. Finally, I got so frustrated that I bought a loaf of bread, made ten pieces of toast with butter and jam, and ate them all. I didn’t care anymore.”

“Did you ever track calories to see how many you were eating daily on that Paleo plan?” I asked Betty.

She replied, “Calories? No, I hate counting calories. I would never do that. I choose diets that focus more on the food and not the calories.”

“Well, Betty, my guess is that your body isn’t broken, but the calories in the large amounts of bacon, almonds, and avocado you were eating added up and kept you from releasing more weight. I have many clients who came to me as overweight vegans, macrobiotic followers, raw foodies, Atkinites, Paleos, South Beachers, and Weight Watchers who all swear they are eating within their chosen system’s guidelines.

“Unfortunately, they were just eating too many calories to have continued weight release.
