How long does it take to lose weight?  To some extent it’s a math equation.  There are about 3500 calories in a pound of fat.  So, if you eat 500 calories less than you burn every day for a week, you would lose about a pound.  That’s a huge simplification but you get the idea.  

Remember, we are on the path toward consistency! And the process of losing weight takes time, more than a 30 day challenge, but what it taking your time does is it leads you toward lasting results.  THAT is what we are after! What we don’t want is a drastic weight loss followed by the same or more weight gain once the challenge is done.  

So back to the question at hand:  How long does it take?  

We are honing in on goal setting and staying on a consistent path toward achieving those goals here at Digital Barbell.

HAVING a goal is the only way to achieve a goal.  We all know that.   But once you have a goal, what do you do?

Goal Guidelines: Your goals need to be S.M.A.R.T.

Strong people are harder to kill, and more useful in general.

- Mark Rippetoe

Strength is the ability to produce force against an external resistance.  Our bodies are incredible machines that learn and adapt based on what we do to them.

So, down to the actual “How To” of this process.  

Disclaimer: This is not a perfect eating plan by any means nor is it a plan you in particular should follow… this is just an average day of eating at our activity level and for our current goals. We also aren’t ‘chefs’ by any means so we keep food enjoyable but simple. Here ya go!

In our continued effort to bring you no-bs advice and information, we’re here to tell you that you cannot detox your body into shape by purchasing a special food, drink or chemical.

Most of the reason a detox works for someone is because for a set amount of time they aren’t eating all the crap they normally are during the detox. But once the detox is over however, in comes the junk and out goes any results they gained from the process.

HOW TO AFFECT YOUR BODY WEIGHT: We use ENERGY BALANCE to affect a client’s body weight.  Remember, energy balance is how many calories you are eating verses how many you are burning.

HOW TO AFFECT YOUR MUSCLE TO FAT RATIO: We use MACRONUTRIENTS to affect their body composition (meaning their ratio of muscle to fat).  Remember, macronutrients are how much protein, carbohydrates and fat you get from each meal.

If you are just embarking on starting to watch what you eat, here is what you can expect as you begin the process.
