After losing thirty pounds all of my old Lulu pants were sliding all over the place when I was on the treadmill or suffering through box jump burpees.<\/p>\n<p>So I&#8217;m chatting with a sales girl, telling her how I need new pants when she says, &#8220;That&#8217;s so great that you lost 30 pounds. How did you do it?&#8221; Her question floored me because the look in her eyes told me she was waiting for a fad reply like, Atkins. Weight Watchers. South Beach Diet. &#8220;How did I do it? I just calculated my metabolic formula to find the exact number of calories I needed to guarantee weight loss,&#8221; I replied.<\/p>\n<p>First of all, fad diets don&#8217;t work. If they worked, no one in America would be obese. Second of all, a calorie is a calorie is a calorie. So whether you are eating Atkins, Paleo, South Beach, macrobiotic, vegan, raw, or Jenny Craig&#8211;if you consume more calories than you burn you will NOT lose weight.<\/p>\n<p>Double Eagle Fitness calculates this magical equation during a new client&#8217;s body composition analysis. Weight loss is nothing but a mathematical formula: the client&#8217;s basal metabolic rate plus their daily activity level plus their thermic food effect minus a certain percentage of lost metabolism due to age. We then take the total and subtract the number of calories required to lose anywhere from a half of a pound to two pounds a week.<\/p>\n<p>We then teach people how to plan and shop for real food that doesn&#8217;t come in a box or a canned shake. That&#8217;s how I lost my thirty pounds. That&#8217;s how all of our clients are losing weight every day.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_217\" style=\"width: 295px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/doubleeaglefitness.files.wordpress.com\/2011\/09\/img_0302.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-217\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-217\" title=\"IMG_0302\" src=\"http:\/\/doubleeaglefitness.files.wordpress.com\/2011\/09\/img_0302.jpg?w=285\" alt=\"\" width=\"285\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-217\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Thirty pounds lighter!<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This April I meandered into Lululemon Bethesda to buy a new pair of pants.
