Question 3

how many extra calories does the atkins diet burn? i know that fat is burned instead of carbs on the atkins diet, but how does that change the amount of calories burned?

Accepted Answer

Less calories: The important thing about the atkins diet is that you eat very little carbohydrate.  As a result you eat more fat.  For most people, fat is more satisfying in terms of feeling full than carbs.  As a result you eat fewer calories overall and lose weight.  Also, when fat is burned it produces ketones.  These suppress your appetite as well.  The amount of calories burned depends on your activity.

Question 4

how accurate is the calorie count on my elliptical machine?? if i'm working out for 30+ minutes and the calories burned says 100, can i rely on that? i understand i must burn more than i consume, but how can i calculate my burn at 5'5", 185 lbs??

Accepted Answer

Calorie calculate: Get the app Cronometer and enter what you eat and exercise you do and see. 100 calories is about 1/2 Snickers.  You need to exercise more or eat fewer calories.  Simple in concept difficult in execution.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

No: All  excess calories can be turned into fat by the body.

Question 6

how many calories do you burn in an hour pure barre class. the instructor is well experienced. rhx?

Accepted Answer

: But you can get the app Chronometer and enter what you do.  If weight is an issue it is likely that you are eating more calories than you are burning.  I am certain the Instructor can answer this better as they will know exactly what YOU are doing.  To calculate this properly will need you weight and "pace" of the exercise.  If weight is 70 Kg &amp; u run mile/10 min and run for 3 miles burn 128 K.

Question 7

Use an app: 20 years old as a medical student ... impressive . But you should use an app such as a fit ness watch that way you can put your height and weight into the app and it will accurately measure it.   Sounds like you are a premed student .. good luck

Accepted Answer

BMI 20.2: Perfect, but you want it a bit more midway between 20 - 25, you're much conscious with weight gain, you burn almost what you eat, which is good, keep up the good work

Question 9

started recently working out 3-4 times a week ( with personal trainer or group class) and eating less calories. recently i noticed i have spotting (varies red, dark red, or pink), burn when pee, and pee sunk to bottom of bowl. what could be wrong?

Accepted Answer

UTI: Most common problem like this is a urinary tract infection. It would have zero to,do,with your workouts, unless tight spandex rubbed the genitalia area, breaking the skin and introducing bacteria near the urethra. Continue your exercises but do get a urine screen and test to determine if this is the problem. If not, then a further kidney/bladder work up would be indicated and a urologist.Good luck

Question 10

which type of workouts can i do at 24 hour fitness to help me lose weight?

Burning more: Calories than you consume will lead to weight loss. In a gym environment there are many options to help you burn calories and put on muscle mass. The goal, however, is to improve your physiology, feel great, and avoid illness. Weight loss will be the inevitable consequence of careful diet and regular activity. Good luck!
