You burn the most calories simply by being alive and breathing.
Search google for a BMR calculator, which calculates how many calories your body will burn in a day just by you being ALIVE, bin a sedentary position. Usually this is anywhere from 1100 to 1800 calories depending on your age, height and weight.
So, if you burn 1400 calories just by being in existance, and you burn about 600 calories extra through exercise, and eat about 1500 a day (which is suggested for females) You will have a deficit of about 500 calories a day, which is a total of 1 lb weight loss a week.
This is the healthy way.
