Calaroies, energy, kJ .... same thing?

[Dolby]

This all the same thing?

1 calorie=4.2kj.

1 calorie is the energy to raise 1 litre of water's temperature by 1 degree celcius.

A joule is the energy exerted by a force of 1 newton acting to move an object 1 metre or the power required to produce 1 watt for 1 second.

So according to this foruma I found on the web, my body currently uses roughly 1800 calaroies (7560kJ). So If I lower my intake and burn off some with brisk walking, I could lose my beer belly ...

Yes and No. You should focus on decreasing your body fat percentage while increasing your lean muscle mass. If you just want to lose weight, don't drink anything for a few days (seeing as our body is made up of so much water).

If you want to lose body fat, do more cardio and eat less crap. And do some weight training as well to ensure you don't lose much lean muscle

FYI, you mean Calorie. calorie <> Calorie (note the big C) but yea the rest are right

Not really. If you'd like to burn more fat faster the best way is to increase your metabolism WHILE doing some cardio (brisk 30-45min walk)

To increase your metabolism you actually need to start eating more. Not less. If your body feels it's not getting the energy it needs anymore you will quickly notice several things happen. a) You won't lose weight no matter how hard you work out b) you gain weight easier even if you eat healthy.

Drinking enough water as well would help get rid of the water weight you're retaining. Remember, alchohol and coffee dehydrates your body. Even if it's liquid. (Same goes for fizzy drinks as most of them contains sugar and caffiene)

So the beer belly can actually gradually slip away by just drinking enough WATER every day and eating more. Eating more increases your body's metabolism ("hey, I'm going to get food in a couple of hours, quick, DIGEST THIS ****!!!") and with enough water it doesn't need to retain any itself because it knows its going to get it. Combine that with some exercise.... winning combination

Eating less now would only begin a yo yo effect

You still need to eat healthily though.
