OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAby Heather Robertson

In this audio blog, I share with you the results of my experiment to increase my calories and reset my metabolism.

In case you don’t know about my experiment, after doing a metabolic reset from April until the end of July, I decided to take a deficit on my calories to lose fat.

For the month of August, I reduced my caloric intake by 15-20% of my total energy expenditure, which was based on data collected from my Body Media Armband*.

Once you hear what happened, I think you’ll be really blown away… I know I was!

I hope my experiment can help you realize starving yourself to lose weight is not the answer.

Monthly calories burned according to Body Media Band 76,089

Monthly calories eaten 62,533

Total deficit in calories not eaten 13,556.

If you divide my total deficit by 3,500 (number of calories in a pound), it comes out to 3.8 pounds.

My deficit percentage for the month was 17.8%

Average daily calories burned for the month 2717.46 (per day)

Average daily calories eaten for the month 2233.6 (per day)
