Learn about what happens when a body loses weight and how you can use this knowledge on your own weight-loss journey.
Losing weight can be difficult, but the science of weight loss is simple! Just remember the science of weight loss, and you’ll be more likely to make smart choices.
Weight loss happens when we burn more calories in a day than we eat.
Bodies burn fat when in a healthy calorie deficit. If you eat too few calories, though, your body may start burning muscle.
A healthy calorie deficit is about 500 calories. If you keep that up, over time, you’ll lose about 1-2 pounds (0.5-1 kg) per week.
