What Is Your Personal Vegan Weight Loss Equation?

Knowing your personal Vegan Weight Loss Equation is critical for super fast vegan weight loss success. The equation is quite simple. It is just the number of calories you eat versus the number of calories you need.

What You Eat – What You Need = Your Weight

Remember…

Eat more than you need you will gain weight.

Eat less than you need and you lose weight.

How Many Calories Do You Need?

Simply multiply your weight by 24 and then divide by 2.2.

For example: A 135 pound woman—135 * 24 = 3240. 3240 / 2.2 = 1472.

This woman needs approximately 1500 calories a day to maintain her weight.

Once you have figured out how many calories you need on a daily basis you only need to plug in the other half of the equation. How many calories you consume each day.

How Many Calories Do You Eat?

You get to count up all the calories you consume on an average day and plug this into your personal energy balance equation.

The easiest way to figure out how many calories you are eating is to keep a food log.

Your food log should include what the food is and the amount you ate.

You can then look up the calorie count in a book like The Complete Book of Food Counts, 7th edition (Complete Book of Food Counts). This book is a great resource to have around. I have one at home and one at the office.

I suggest logging your food for three days and then taking an average of calories consumed. Try to include at least one weekend day. This will give you a more accurate average.

Once you have come up with the average number of calories you eat each day plug this number into your formula.

Now you know your personal energy balance equation.

Are you eating more than you need?

Remember, the Law of Conservation of Energy is in effect everywhere all the time.

That means, it is impossible for you to under eat and be overweight.

If you are heavier than you would like to be, it is because you are eating more calories than you are burning on a consistent basis.

It is not because you are eating the wrong foods at the wrong times in the wrong place in the wrong position with the wrong person.
