Tracy Weight Loss

first of all, congratulations, you know more about losing weight than 90% of the population, im so SICK of reading questions like "omg, i need to lose 50 pounds in a day, can i just, like, totally, not like, at anything, is that bad?"
youre on the money about starvation mode!

here is the short answer, B, option B will burn more weight
BUT, there is a better way to go about this, its not just calorie burning, losing weight is complex and there is a way to do it healthily, im not guarenteeing you burn it off fast, but you wil burn it off and keep it off

fancy fad diets, adkins, twinkie, low carb, they do work BUT they are unhealthy and by their nature (of nutrient deprivation) you will DEPRIVE your body of nutrients which are essential for living, no joke. besides, studies show that when you get off the diet, your body goes into "storage mode" and says "hell, those past months SUCKED, better stock up to make sure im happy when it happens again" and you will gain all if not more of the weight you lost back

now, physical exercise is the best way to lose weight, but you dont lose it in the exercise itself. when you do good exercise, like cardio, your metabolism is cracked up a notch to do bodily repairs (good exercise requires this) your body will break down your sugars (glucose, fructose, lactose), then your stored carbs and complex carbs (amylopectin, glycogen) , THEN your fat. when you exercise you use muscle which costs ATP, a readily accessed form of energy derived from chemical bonds in food (carbs, fats) the waste products of this biological reaction is CO2 and water, which is then excreted, this CO2 and water USED to be food/fat/calories.

this ATP will power the muscles in your body, allowing you to workout,but these mescles will be damaged slightly, this is good because your body will repair these muscles AND THEN SOME! so your body will continues to burn food away for about the next 24 hours after a good workous, repairing and improving these muscles

this is good, repairing muscles takes energy (and the more muscle you have, the more you can damage, and the more you can heal, which means even more calorie burning!)

and in addition to working out, there are other ways to boost this ATP productions, eating burns calories, so if you have frequent, smaller meals, you will burn more calories even if your normal food intake stays the same, because your digestive system is a bunch of muscles!

also drink water, you cant make ATP with decent water, and dehydration will make you less efficient in calorie burning, water will flush your system, and fill you up so u want to eat less. for a nice flushing, drink half your weight in ounces (so i weigh 100 lbs, so ill drink 50 oz a day) you need more than 8 cups a day, and the human thirst mechanism is actually quite primitive, and often fails to trigger, or is confused for hunger. thats why sometimes "were hungry but we just dont know what we want"…were thirst really

but here’s the caveat, you cant burn too much too fast, your diet plan is very intense. and you are right, you burn A LOT of calories just living day to day life (the rough formula is your body weight*11, that is how much your body uses just to llive, approx.)
remember how i said how your body makes ATP from carbs and fat, if you damage your muscles so much and frequently 2 things will happen
1)you will strain/pull/and possibly tear that muscle (or worse a tendon or ligament) , causing you anything from minor discomfort to months of rehab pain and surgery, my dad tore a muscle playing a game of volleyball, so be careful and stretch properly before activity… a damaged muscle will decrease your performance (like limping) or make you unable to workout (like being in a hospital)

2)you will over metabolize, your body might panic with such rapid physical stress that it may over produce ATP, this sounds good, but get this. ANYTHING in your body can be converted into sugar (actually you dont burn fat, burning fat requires it to be converted into sugar first, which takes energy too!) this includes protein and DNA. you do not want to convert protein and DNA to energy, this is like buening a house down to provide warmth, because all of that muscle you worked so hard to make, will be destroyed and sent to heal some other body body part. so you just wasted those hours exercising, no fun

so how do you know if you are burning too much? it is considered "too much" when you burn more than 1 pound a week, its ok to burn 2 pounds a week, but it is very hard on your body, VERY hard, and will be hard to maintain without injuring yourself
and just so you know, there is roughly 3500 in a "pound"

happy burning
