Question 1

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.

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 4

how many calories should i burn in the gym?

Accepted Answer

Depends: It depends on what your goals are. If you are already at ideal weight, you should burn off slightly less than the total calories consumed. If you are overweight, then burn more and vice versa.   In general, every calorie you burn in the gym will allow you to take in somewhat more calories. Monitor your progress and you will find your own path. 
I am sure there will be many other opinions.

Question 7

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Weight, diet: Weight typically is a math equation calories in + calories used= cal stored or burned (excess or deficit ave 3500 per pound.).  Now that doesn't mean skip 3 days of food... Your body can be crafty... Too little calories, ur body gets smart ; better at storing fat from any piec of lettuce ; cracker u are trying to subsist on.   Best... More output than in.  Well rounded lower fats.

Question 10

700 calories per day.not eating any carbs or animal related foods.stop eating after 10am.will body burn the calories at the end of day? no gym tho!

Accepted Answer

Severe Diet!: This is a severe diet. 700 calories/day is less than half of the metabolic requirements of an adult at rest without any physical activity. It is too severe and can result in kidney damage. Not eating after 10am means you aren't fueling your body during the times when your body needs it the most. Please consult a doctor to discuss your needs and a healthy diet and exercise plan. Best wishes.
