Description

One thing that scientists generally
agree on is that the human body is
a machine. For all of its wonderful
complexity, it's still basically a device
that extracts energy from fuel in order
to do work. The work is moving, thinking,
reading, yelling at the kids, refinancing
your house, and such.
And the fuel is, of course, food.
The energy in your food is measured in calories.
Your body burns some of them to heat
your muscles and organs to their
preferred operating temperature.
It uses others to power thousands of
chemical and mechanical processes
that help you play the piano
and prune your azaleas.
If any calories are left over, your body
stores them as fat. Everyone knows this,
but not many people know exactly
how much fat. It's one pound for each
3500 calories. In other words, if you eat
3500 calories more than your body needs,
you'll gain a pound; and if you eat
3500 calories less than you need,
you'll lose a pound.
The 3500-calorie equation is always true,
no matter what diet you're on.
It doesn't matter whether you're eating protein
or carbohydrates or grapefruit or lobster
the only way to lose a pound is to take in
3500 calories fewer than your body needs.
This isn't someone's opinion
it's a law of physics.
If it ever stops being true, no one
would have a weight problem because
the law of gravity won't be true, either.
