Theresa wants to lower her ratio of fat weight to her total body weight She wants to work on her?

Answer 1

There are three things that will help Theresa lose fat.

1.) The only real way to lose fat is to create a caloric deficit. Every day we consume calories by eating food, and if we eat more calories than we burn throughout the day, then those calories are stored as fat. Every 3500 calories is equivalent to 1 pound of fat. Hence, if I eat 14000 calories this week, but my body only burns 10500 calories for this week, then I will have gained 1 pound of fat. Conversely, if I burn 14000 calories, but I only eat 10500 calories, then I will lose one pound of fat. The best way to create a caloric deficit such as my last example is through diet and exercise.

2.) Build muscle through exercise. This will help in three ways by itself. A). it will decrease the ratio of her fat weight to her total body weight because a greater amount of her body weight will be muscle. B). she'll have to exercise to do this, which burns calories. C) higher amounts of muscle mass increases your resting metabolism, which further increases your caloric deficit by increasing the calories burnt by your body even at rest.

3.) As it would be unsafe to commit oneself to strenuous muscle building activity every day, and possibly even undesirable to a female gorilla like Theresa, she could also consider aerobic exercise as a way to burn further calories. Jogging, bicycling, or swimming are examples of aerobic exercise. There are online calculators to give a rough estimate of the burn of different types of exercises.

Good luck, don't give up, and don't believe anyone who tells you that there's a magic way to lose weight. Diet and exercise are the only two ways to get rid of fat, and they work best in concert.
