Human fat tissue contains about 87% lipids, which store about 9 kcal/g energy. Therefore, to lose 1 kg of body-fat tissue, the energy of about 870 g pure fat has to be used up, which corresponds to about 7800 kcal (32 MJ), that is one has to create a −7800 kcal deficit between energy intake and use. (In U.S. customary units, that is about 3500 kcal per pound.) \n\nTherefore  3Kg X 32 MJ/Kg X 1 s/103J X 1 hr/3600s = \n\n258.9 hours (assuming you are losing 3 Kg of body mass not water weight)

No, you need to eat quite a bit to put on weight.\n\nIn fact 8000 calories = 1kg of Fat\n\nmost if not all of that would be just used up in your daily living needs (2000 - 3000 cal) and that meal would have = less than 400 calories or 50 grams of fat if it was all converted to fat which meals never are.\n\nyou will actually probably have lost weight.

a healthy diet requires food. protein shakes are meant for gaining muscle mass. one once of protein per lb. of your weight are needed to gain mass, it's not meant to substitute food! liquid diets are not healthy. if its killing your appetite, try only consuming half the amount.

Your body needs fuel to burn fat.  You have to eat the right foods.

Take in 1.5g-2g of protein x body weight per day.  Your daily intake split should be around 40% protein, 40% carbs, 10% fat(non-saturated).  Have a good workout program and go as hard as you can every time.  Don't do cardio cause it's counter-productive and will eat away at your muscles.  But most importantly EAT, but make it clean(no mcdonald's, etc).

Don't worry about calories if you're eating the right things.\nYou need 1 gram of protien per pound.\n\nEat high density foods like avocado, nuts and seeds, butter, cream, sour cream, obviously meat, broccoli or cauliflower, spinach, whey protien, and more.\n\nThese are heavy and stay in your body longer.\nDon't forget vegetables no matter what anyoen says.\nJunk is junk, stay away from it.\nAlmonds have high protien. eat a handful daily, and eat much protien.\nIf you overdo it, it turns to fat.\nWorkout 3X a week, MWF, mainly weight lifting. Slow and heavy is the key.\n\nMeal replacement shakes only good if they are low carb , low sugar, high protien like Whey Healthier and Jay Robb's Whey Protien.\n\nGood Luck.

Trust me you cant' lose all of your body fat... as much as I hate knowing that it is the sad truth.... You have to have some "body fat" for all of your vital organs and things to perform properly - \n\nbut with that said - to lose body fat you have to work out and burn more calories than you take in.

The basics of most nutrition books\nDon’t starve yourself. That’s the worst thing you can do in a diet because it slows down your metabolism and your body starts getting more fat from your food intake since, fat is the bodies fastest and easiest type of nutrition[not the healthiest though]. The reason this happen is because this helped us when we were no doing so good as hunters and gathers to keep us alive a bit longer. \n\nBefore I continue let me explain protein, carbohydrates, and fats.\n\nProtein is easiest described as anything that comes from or was an animal such chicken, fish, sirloin, and milk. \n\nCarbohydrates [carbs] can be found almost in anything else even apples.\nGood carbs:\nApples, wheat bread, sourdough bread, grains, and wheat \nBad carbs:\nWhite bread, hamburger buns, hotdog buns, Doritos, and sodas!\n\nGood fats:\nAvocados, pecans, almonds, and peanut butter \n\nThe ratio in your diet varies but I think a good starting point is something like\n[50%Protien:40%Carbs:10%fat]\n\nThis can sound meaningless. So in plain terms consume only good fats [portioned] and you should be okay.  Something like a handful of almonds, or a table spoon of peanut butter should be consumed three times a day [separately. not consecutively]. \n\nThe reason this is relevant to your question of decreasing your appetite is because you are required to intake around 1200 calories for a 180lb person [Proteins are 4 calories, Carbs are 4 calories, Fats are 9 calories] so theoretically if you eat less fats and more proteins you will have a less appetite because you will eat more. \n\nAnother nifty advice is that your body turns carbohydrates into fat not fat itself. That’s how the Adkins basically works. If you consume more proteins and less carbs you will lose weight. I leave to you to decide if this is good you.\n\nI would also advice you to split up your day into 5 meals. [warning: it will feel weird because you are not used to eating this decreased amount. Just keep in mind that you will eat in 3 hour and you will quickly noticed that you will not go hungry and most importantly not feel hungry] if you do feel hungry eat a small snack like an apple or a wrap of peanut butter with a wheat tortilla.\n\nYou are suppose to split up meals because your body can consume a certain amount of nutrition the rest is just wasted and turned into fat [if you have been starving yourself or if you don’t exercise].

Everyone should speak to a dietician before starting a new diet but generally eating lots of protein and exercising regularly (4-5 times a week) will help.  Because you exercise more, you can eat more.  Eating six moderate sized healthy meals at regular intervals is much more beneficial than eating only three times a day.  Do weight training to build your muscle and muscle tone and cardio to lose fat.  Muscle weighs more than fat.  Good luck!

Most likely yes.  With my own experience I find eating high protien foods meat, fish, eggs, poultry, and dairy products, lowfat milk, and fruits and vegetables I will lose weight or stay stable.  Once I start ripping in to the junk food or non nourishing foods for more than three or four days I start packing on the pounds.  The more nourishing the food the more it takes off the pounds. Protien fills you up so you don't get hunger pangs every couple hours.  It also builds muscle.  Junk food is full of junk and junk is all just bad fat calories.  The motto is if you eat good 75%-80% of the time you can pig out that 20% with no problem.  Just make sure the good outweighs the bad habits.

The particulare foods dont matter very much...eat a good balanced diet.  \n\nDaily protein consumption should be 1.4-1.7 kilograms per gram of body weight, according to the American College of Sports Medicine.  Consuming more protein will not be beneficial and could be unhealthy.\n\nYou can get the protein from regular foods, supplements are not necessary unless you have problems getting the calories and protein that you need in your diet.

Theoretically, about 3500 calories equals one pound. This means that you'd have to take in 3500 fewer calories than you need, over a period of time, to lose one pound. Keep in mind, this is in theory; what happens in the real world can be very different.\n\nOften, as we eat less, our bodies expend calories at a slower rate. Perhaps this occurs to ensure our survival, or just to defend a comfortable body weight. In any event, this slowdown is a real phenomenon, and has been proven in many laboratory studies — it's called diet induced adaptive thermogenesis. Most everyday people simply call it a decrease in metabolism. If your calorie requirement falls, it's increasingly difficult to take in few enough calories to lose weight. This can be quite a frustration and challenge to the person trying to shed some pounds.\n\nSo, while it's nice to have an equation that works in the lab, the 3500-calorie question is elusive to many of us. Unfortunately, our bodies don't work like a balance sheet or checkbook — what goes in and comes out doesn't always calculate. If it were that simple, the diet industry wouldn't be worth the billions of dollars that's being spent annually by folks in search of permanent weight loss.

you need to find how many calories the exercise burn, find your resting metabolic rate, subtract 500 calories from that, 500 calorie reduction cause weight loss of 1 lb, but be sure to take in min of 1200 calories per day for healthy food and protein,  and half you body weight in oz. per day of water, protein is your energy source when exercising if you do not have proper protein intake you body will burn the muscle convert to fat and use that for energy, if you take in protein your body will burn the fat to help process the protein thus leaving you lean and not fluffy.

It takes a calorie defecit of 3,500 calories to lose one pound of fat.  Your body needs 2,000 calories a day (approximately) to maintain your current weight.  So if you scaled back calories, lets say to 1,500 a day, in one week you would lose exactly one pound.  It's not easy, it's not quick, but it is guaranteed to work time and time again.  There are no shortcuts, although excercise will help you to lose weight by burning off additional calories, helping you reach your 3,500 defecit quicker.

The type of protein you eat may play a role in successful weight loss and in your overall health. \n\nConsumption of large quantities of processed meats such as hot dogs, sausages, and deli meats, have been linked to increased risk of type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and colorectal cancer, Hu says. You'll have a harder time maintaining weight loss if you eat these proteins often, and you may be damaging your body. \n\n\nHu and other nutrition experts recommend getting dietary proteins from the following sources: \n\nFish: Fish offers heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids and, in general, less fat than meat. \n\nPoultry: You can eliminate most of the saturated fat by removing the skin. \n\nBeans: Beans contain more protein than any other vegetable protein. Plus, they're loaded with fiber that helps you feel full for hours. \n\nNuts: One ounce of almonds gives you 6 grams of protein, nearly as much protein as one ounce of broiled ribeye steak. \n\nWhole grains: A slice of whole wheat bread gives you 3 grams of protein, plus valuable fiber. \n\n\n"A lot of plant-based foods like soy and legumes can give you the same amount of protein as meats. I have nuts for breakfast every day, because they not only give you a lot of protein, but they're healthy sources of fat," Hu says. \n\nSo when you decide to cut carbs and boost protein, take Hu's advice: Don't lose sight of the big picture. \n\nPublished March 31, 2004.
