eli5: Losing weight

1.21K views

I’m just confused on how losing weight actually works. So if I cut myself down to 1500 calories a day, I would have to burn like 2000 calories to lose weight? That just seems like a lot of exercising to me, especially because I’m juggling a job and highschool still. Could you guys explain it to me in a better sense?

Lots of useful answers, I’ll just add this: don’t focus on your weight, look at your body fat. Muscles weigh more than fat.
Eating more vegetable protein and fats and fewer carbs will help train your body to use fat more efficiently. Remember to drink lots of water.
