Published 9 years ago: February 5, 2014 at 9:30 am Show Don’t worry, what you’re looking at isn’t real but rather a full replica of fatty tissue in a human body. Not that it makes it any better, because that’s pretty much how fat looks like inside your body. Which, well, oh my god gross. I don’t want a single ounce of this slimy goopy jiggle on my body anymore. The body fat replica is sold by Anatomy Warehouse for 23 bucks and is “made of soft, pliable, long-lasting vinyl plastic”. The volume of the model is equivalent to what one pound (454g) of human fat would look like. Which is just as slimy and oily as you would imagine. But as disgusting as this pound of fat is, I think if I put this blubber model on my desk, I would instantly make better life decisions. The all seeing eye of the one pound god of fat would prevent me from ordering fatty feasts during lunchtime, make sure I get up to walk around every hour and cause me to shudder and hurl every time I look at it.

 Photo by Natasha Spencer from Pexels Did you know 1kg of fat is equal to 7,700 calories? That means in order to lose 1kg of fat, you’d need to burn 7,700 calories. And if you’re setting out to ‘burn off’ your calories? Or using exercise as the ONLY way to drop fat without focusing on your calorie intake? In this article I'll share with you how to lose 1 kg of fat. You’re fighting a losing battle. Here’s what losing 1kg of fat looks like through exercise… We’ll use the ‘average’ person here to keep it simple. 60 mins of running on the treadmill set at 10km an hour = 500 calories (again, this is an estimate of the average person). That means you’d need to run approximately 15.2 hours to burn 7,700 calories. And that’s assuming you didn’t eat anything. (Because you’d need to add back those calories). Which is stupid right? That’s to lose just 1 KILO of FAT. Ridiculous. Here’s another example. 45 minute spin class = 440 calories (estimate of average person). That means you’d need to do around 17.5 x 45 minute spin classes per WEEK if you want to lose 1kg of fat. Again, ridiculous. Especially if you don’t focus on your food intake. Trying to lose 1kg of fat through exercise alone is pretty much a lose/lose battle. It needs to be a combination of exercise and controlled calorie intake for overall health and well-being. Exercise is only one ingredient of a large recipe. You can't make cupcakes (fat loss) with flour (exercise) alone can you? Nope. Now here’s how you can make losing 1kg a little easier. If you want to lose 1kg per week? You’d need to be in a calorie deficit of 1,100 calories per DAY for 7 x days. (7,700 calorie weekly deficit) That’s pretty hardcore. It means if you’re currently consuming 2,000 calories per day, and you’re currently burning 2,000 calories per day (in other words, maintaining your weight), you’d need to consume 900 calories per day, for the next 7 days. Whilst keeping your ‘expenditure’ the same. Just to lose 1kg of fat. Yeah, good luck with that. (Please don’t try it, because that’s just silly and unsustainable). Here’s how to lose 1kg of fat SUSTAINABLY without using a calorie calculator or formula…
It really is that simple. And you haven’t even flogged yourself on a treadmill. Or a spin class. Why does this approach work? Because you simply become AWARE of your overall calorie intake. When you focus on measuring calories coming IN. The rest will take care of itself. Why? Because you consume calories longer than you exercise. Think about it. You eat for a period of say 13 hours? (Assuming you have your first meal at 7am and your last at 8pm). And you exercise for approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour a day. Big difference. Anywhoo, Want to know the BEST form of exercise to burn the MOST amount of calories in the LEAST amount of time? ——> Weight training. You’ll burn a shyte load of calories during AND afterwards too. I’m not even kidding when I say this, If you weight train, you can literally sit on the couch, watch Netflix AND burn extra calories. There's your win/win right there ;). Take away points:
If all this sounds too confusing - don’t know how to lift weights, don't know how to track food, don’t know what you should eat, just down right frustrated and you want a coach to take care of it all for you so you don’t have to waste time trying to figure it all out but get the results you want? Hit the ‘book now’ button below. This will be short. I find it good to picture what you are actually losing. 1kg of fat = 37,000kj (1g = 37kj) 1kg of fat = around 1100 cm3 1cm3 = 1ml (for reference) So for every kg you lose you lose a 1100ml bottle worth of fat. Over 1L ! Of course this is taken from all around your body. But still fascinating. I will never look at 1L of milk the same. That essentially is the space 1kg of fat takes up in your body! Edit: Fixed conversion numbers.
When embarking on a lifestyle change that will change the way you see yourself and the food you put in your mouth, it is important to understand and appreciate what a difference even 2 kilos can make, and what real fat looks like. This is the realisation one of our mums faced when she lost weight. 2kgs of fat – what it actually looks likeAmanda Bennet says, “I will never say ‘I only lost two kilo’s’ again! Not after holding a replica of what 2.5 kgs of fat looks and feels like this morning at my gym. Next time I lose ‘only’ two kilos of body fat, I’ll be so damn happy, because THIS is what I’ll have lost! It’s huge!” Well done, Amanda. Keep up your amazing work!
