Is it reliable that 3,500 calories equals 1 pound? so if i am 7000 calorie deficient i will loose 2 pounds?

Its mostly true: It is not so mathematical but for a starter it is the key. Weight loss is calorie based to some extent. For weight loss maintenance you need to combine a net 500-800 calorie loss daily with 60minutes of vigorous exercise at least 6 days of each week consistently. The exercise should include at least 3 days of resistance exercises -- Theraband, small weight lifting etc Food diary Activity tracking
