Input = Output

We all know that our body needs energy as in food (glorious food) to function. From breathing to thinking to jogging to getting mad to laughing to sleeping to repairing worn-out tissues to digestion to texting to blogging ... name the activity - we need energy to do it. All this energy comes from the food we eat. To have a real healthy and ideal weight you need to balance your energy intake (food, glorious food) with your energy output (physical activities).

Note: any energy that you don't use is stored as fat. Ergo, if you consistently take in more food that your body can burn, the excess energy will create more fat which will ultimately, without a doubt, result in you becoming overweight.

Is there a way for you to know how much energy you need to consume to maintain an ideal weight? Sure! I will discuss that and more in my future posts.
