Burn Off Those Calories! offers readers over 1,000 foods and drinks, their calorie content, and the amount of activity to burn off each. The activities include walking, bicycling, jogging, running, swimming, dancing, yoga, and housework. Readers will be fascinated to learn that to burn off one slice of chocolate cake requires around 48 minutes of biking, and a packet of crisps requires around 40 minutes of walking.
The foods and drinks are listed in sections, alphabetically, and in an easy-to-understand table format. This will help the reader to find a particular food or drink simply and quickly. The book can be easily fitted into a small bag, so the reader can access the information contained within it at any time, which will help them to make the right food choices at mealtimes.
Headings include ‘What is a calorie?’ and ‘How to calculate your BMR?’ as this knowledge will help the reader to fully understand the information contained within the tables. There also information about ‘food swaps’, which teach the reader how to substitute a high calorific food for a healthier choice. Readers will be surprised to learn that swapping one food for another can result in a significant reduction of calories consumed, and therefore lead to weight loss. For example, swapping a regular sandwich (600 calories) for a low-fat sandwich (350 calories) can save a whopping 250 calories!
This book will be the first UK-based book of its kind. It will help to educate readers to think twice before eating high calorific foods, therefore helping them make healthier food choices. It may also encourage readers to increase their physical activity.
