How to Stay Lean

A good way to stay lean and maintain your weight is to increase your activity level. This increases calorie burn, protects against muscle loss and raises your resting metabolic rate. It keeps your body working efficiently, raises your motivation to stay lean and helps you to maintain a healthier ‘weight loss lifestyle’.

How Greater Activity Helps You to Stay Lean

Let’s say you eat 1 tbsp of chicken fat [in gravy] (approx 115 calories).

• If you jump rope, you can burn off all these calories in about 10 minutes.
• If you walk at 3mph, you can burn off these calories in about 23 minutes.
• In addition, exercise helps to raise your metabolic rate, which makes it easier to lose weight.
• Finally, exercise also helps you to lose weight by boosting your motivation to stick to your weight loss program.

Note: all calorie-burn figures are approximate. They are based on a 150 pound woman. If you weigh more, you’ll burn more calories. If you weigh less, you’ll burn less calories.
