I'm a 5'2", 110 pounds, and active (running, free weights, and bodyweight exercises 4-5 days a week). My maintenance caloric intake is roughly 1200 a day (8400 a week). So, to lose 3 pounds a week, I'd have to eat nothing all week AND create a calorie deficit of 300 per day through exercise. No thanks!

Doing exercises like pull ups or lifting free weights alone is not close to as effective for fat loss as swimming, biking, or dancing, which all both burn a tremendous amount of fat during the activity and build muscle after as well. The only time I would recommend for people to do free weights or body weight exercises for fat loss, is when done with interval training in order to get the heart pumping and more effectively burn fat. The fat loss programs I sell in my <em><a href="http://thefitnessadviser.com/rafis-ten-dollar-store/" rel="nofollow">Ten Dollar Store</a></em> are a perfect example of this, since they combine interval training with body weight exercises and weights to maximize fat loss and tone muscle.

I just have to add my $0.02 on the 'Exercise' section. I'm not against swimming, cycling or dancing but if you're serious about fat loss then those activities should be seen as complimentary exercises. What one needs to focus on is full body strength exercises. Pull ups, push ups, dips, lifting free weights. These exercises will help your body to burn fat even when your not working out, kind of supercharging that fat loss effort! Great post. I just have to add my $0.02 on the ‘Exercise’ section.
