9 Diet and Exercise The only way to effectively lose weight is through a healthy diet and appropriate exercise!! The only way to effectively lose weight is through a healthy diet and appropriate exercise!! Either increase calories used, or decrease calories consumed Either increase calories used, or decrease calories consumed Solve this problem: Solve this problem: Bob wants to lose 10 lbs of fat in the next 8 weeks. We know that 1lb of fat = 3500 cal. Devise and appropriate plan for him to safely lose the weight by his deadline. 10 x 3500cal = 35,000  35000 / 8 weeks = 10 x 3500cal = 35,000  35000 / 8 weeks = 4375cal / 7 days = 625 calories per day deficit Solution: Bob should try to exercise to burn at least half of the calories. He should also eliminate 300 calories or more from his diet after assessing his nutritional needs.
