Do the math

Want to drop 10 pounds in two months? All you have to do is the math. Here’s the skinny:

1. Multiply the pounds you want to lose by the number of calories in a pound of fat: 10 x 3,500 = 35,000.
2. Divide the total by the days you’ll diet: 35,000 ÷ 60 = 583.
3. Eat that many fewer calories each day.
