Shortly after posting the last post about shaving, I came across this article in the same Muscle & Fitness Magazine. It’s a Q & A to Ask The Diet Guru : Chris Aceto.
“Q: Does 3500 calories really equal 1 pound of fat? I don;t think I eat a lot of calories, But I’m still not losing fat.
A: Yes, 3500 calories does amount to a pound of fat. So when you eat 3500 fewer calories than the body needs, you should lose fat and get more defined, assuming you’re hitting the weights hard. But you must consider other factors. When reducing calories, do so only mildly-say 200-500 fewer a day tha you’re eating now. Such small decreases help side step metabolic adaptations that occur with dieting. Generally when you make large reductions in calories, your body’s calorie-burning engine, also known as its metabolism, can shift into a lower gear, negative fat loss. With gradual calorie decreases, down-shifting is less likely to occur.”
“Chris Aceto is currently nutrition consultant to Mr. Olympia Jay Cutler.”
There is one more paragraph to this article so if you want to read it go grab yourself a copy of Muscle & Fitness. Makes you wonder how much your ingesting on an average day as opposed to how much your working to stay in shape or for that matter get into shape. Some meals, even a typical meal at a nice restaurant contain about half of those calories.

3500卡路里=1磅脂肪
在上传了那篇关于健美的帖子不久之后，我同样在《肌肉与健康》杂志上第二次见到了这篇文章。下面是对饮食指导老师Chris Aceto的提问及其回答。
“问：3500卡路里真的相当于1磅脂肪么？我不认为自己吃了很多卡路里的食物，但是我还是始终无法减肥。
答：对，3500卡路里在数量上确实等同于1磅脂肪。所以当进食的热量比身体需要量少3500卡，并在努力减肥的情况下，你应该已经减少了脂肪并变得有型一些了。但你必须考虑到其他因素。当通过饮食减少热量摄入时，平均来说只比平常进食热量少200-500卡。饮食上热量如此小幅度的减少会因机体新陈代谢的适应性而避免显现出来。一般来说当你大量减少热量摄入时，你身体里的热量燃烧机器会察觉到新陈代谢的这一变化，并自动调低一档，避免脂肪流失。伴随普通的热量减少量，脂肪下降趋势并不容易表现出来。”
“Chris Aceto 现阶段是 Olympia Jay Cutler 的营养顾问。”
这篇文章还有另一段，如果有兴趣阅读的话可以自己找一本《肌肉与健康》杂志。它会使你知道你日常平均热量摄入，以此来衡量要维持现在的体型或者达到理想体型你需要付出多少努力。
