Doug:  The key to weight loss is simply this:  A pound of fat is 3,500 calories.  You need approximately 2,000-2,500 calories/ day to maintain your weight.  If you run four miles a day, you are burning about 500 calories.  So, in order to lose weight, you must reduce your caloric intake to about 1,000/day.  You will then burn 2000 calories/day (so long as you do your 4 miles)..and the weight will burn off of you rather quickly.  Do not starve yourself.  After 72 hours of starvation, your metabolism will stop dead in its tracks..your body will think that you are starving and you won't burn anything.  Drink alot of water.  Beleive it or not, alot of your stomach size could be due to water retention.  Up your water intake to at least a gallon per day and your body will not store any water.  Since muscle is 70% water and fat is 20% water, you will know that you are burning fat rather than lean muscle if you are properly hydrated.  Good luck!

It's true that you have to burn more calories than you eat to lose weight.  If you eat more than you burn, the excess is stored as fat.  However, you use a fair amount just by normal daily tasks such as walking round, keeping the body warm and alive, etc.  Depending on what you do during the day, you will burn off 1500 calories or more.

3,500 calories = one pound.  If you burn 3,500 calories, you will lose a pound in caloric energie, but depending on what type of exercise, you might not lose exactly a pound due to increased muscle mass.  For fat burning, you want to do things like walk instead of run, because running is a cardivascular exercise, and gets your heart rate going, but walking is better for fat burning because your heart doesn't have to work as hard and you will be in the "fat burning zone"

Different forms of exercise, at varying intensities, will burn different amounts of calories.  I'm a 160-pound woman and I walk at a speed of about three miles per hour; my doctor tells me this will burn about 100 calories per mile.  She also says there are 3500 calories in a pound (don't know where she got that number); therefore, I have to walk 35 miles to burn off a pound.  Whew!  Running would burn the same amount of calories in slightly less time; running up stairs or cycling uphill would burn even more (but I don't run, too painful for the joints).  There are websites where these things are calculated, you could look it up.

In a week, about 1/5 of a pound.  Running burns approx 100 calorie per mile.  (Could be more or less depending on your weight, the speed you run, and the difficulty.)  So 7 days, 1 mile is 700 calories.  You need to burn or have a calorie deficit of 3500 calories to lose 1 pound.  \n\nTo lose more weight, you'll need to watch what you eat and run more than 1 mile.  Also, give yourself longer than one week for noticable results.

Weight and calories are two different things.\n\nFor example, one pound of fat contains 4,081 (kilo) calories but one pound of sugar contains only 1,814 (kilo) calories.  Compare this to one pound of water which has no calories.\n\nThe calories you burn come from the food that you eat - if you eat one pound of food and perform enough exercise to burn off the calories in that one pound of food you will have neither gained or lost weight.\n\nTo look at it another way, you would need to be engaged in about 2 to 3 hours of intense physical exercise or about 6 to 10 hours of moderate exercise to loose one pound - that's assuming that you don't compensate for the energy used by over eating.
