To calculate the total number of days required to lose weight:
\[ T = \frac{WL \times 3500}{CD} \]
Where:
A calorie deficit occurs when you consume fewer calories than your body needs to maintain its current weight. This deficit forces your body to use stored fat for energy, leading to weight loss. To determine how many calories you need to reduce daily to lose weight at a healthy rate, you can use a calorie deficit calculator to estimate your needs based on your activity level and other factors.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ T = \frac{10 \times 3500}{500} = 70 \]
The total time required to lose 10 pounds with a daily calorie deficit of 500 calories is 70 days.
