If calories are the fuel that provide your body with energy how is it possible for the body to still function when it loses more calories than it gains. For example, when a car uses up all of its gas its unable to drive because it has no more fuel. How are humans able to use calories they don't have to further burn more calories. If we use up all of our calories shouldn't that also mean we used up all of the energy that enables our bodies to move? Is there another energy source besides calories?

Answer: You've figured out what no one seems to understand. This is why all diets fail--because in order to diet you have to be hungry all day every day while your body reluctantly uses its fat stores to supply the energy it's not getting from what you eat.

Sit ups are strength exercises that help you build and strengthen your muscles. When muscle's strengthened, it helps to elevate your metabolism while you're at rest, hence you burn off calories. You need to do at least 10 mins per session, 3-4 times per week, to strengthen & build muscle.

Question: How can yoga burn calories.As it is said that its good for tackling obesity? I know doing exercises such as jogging,cycling burns calories because unless we burn calories we wont become slim. But how can yoga burn calories.

Answer: Any exertion burns more calories than just sitting. How many calories you burn per minute or per hour depends on the intensity of the activity. The more intense, the more you burn per minute. But also, the more intense, the less likely that you will be able to do it for very long. Yoga can be mild, moderate or vigorous. The more vigorous, the more calories you will burn. But keep this in mind, it is great for your body no matter how many calories you burn. And as you become more fit, you will be able to sustain greater intensity for a longer period and burn even more calories. Best of health and fitness!

Question: How do I burn calories i take in by using crunches? I'm trying this new thing where I do crunches to burn off all the candy or sugary stuff i take in, but i dont know how to start because i dont know how many crunches burn off a calorie, if someone could give me a ratio, it would be awesome!! (ex. 50 crunches burns off 10 calories) or what would be a better way to burn off the calories besides crunches? that burns them off faster?

Answer: "crunches" will do NOTHING to burn off calories!! What Americans call a "calorie" is actually a "kilocalorie" - the amount of energy needed to heat 1000 milliliters (1 liter) of water by 1 degree centigrade. You need some sustained, aerobic exercise such as running or walking a few miles a day, biking, tennis, basketball - someting where you are always on the move. The ONLY way to lose weight (fat; not just water) is to burn off more calories than you take in. Simple as that! My advice: It is a LOT easier to reduce caloric intake than to keep it the same and use exercise to burn it off !!!

Question: How many calories do you burn by thinking? Only a few people realize that we burn calories when we think. So when we do our homework, you're burning calories. My questions is how MANY calories do we burn by thinking? Just by reading or doing homework, how many calories do we burn like in a minute or in an hour? By the way, anyone coming here to say "none" or "you don't burn calories by thinking" you are wrong. We burn calories on everything you do. We burn so little doing it that you never really realize it.

Answer: I think it was about 100 calories an hour if you are reading/ doing homework, so I guess its about that much with just thinking. Thats why after you do your hw, you are so hungry

Question: How do we burn calories and lose weight by sleeping? I've heard this before, is this true? And how? I thought by staying up at night and not sleeping (and not eating either while staying up at night) would cause weight loss bc youre up and moving around? It doesnt make sense. Why burn calories while sleeping bc we are not moving or anything?

Answer: Well your body burns calories simply when its functioning, the heart is pumping, the lungs are drawing in oxygen, your liver is removing toxins, and etc. When your sleeping its basically an extended fast for your body because it doesn't have any immediate energy from the food you have recently consumed so it metabolizes your body's sources of energy. Also when you sleep your body's natural anabolic growth hormone peaks which is great for metabolizing your body and building muscle or just growing.
