The Calorie Credit System

Your body is a bank. Every “extra” kilogram is a loan. Every fast a repayment. Every exercise session an investment. Here’s how.

Metabolic Cost Breakdown

• Each kg of body weight costs 10,000 kcal/year just to maintain.

• At 70 kg, your body runs on 700,000 kcal/year.

• At 85 kg, 850,000 kcal/year.

• At 100 kg, you’ve created a million-calorie economy.

Moral: At your optimal weight, books stay balanced. Intake = Expense. Income = Expenditure.

 

The Overdraft Clause

• Your body allows a 5% buffer—about 3–4 kg over your ideal weight.

• Beyond that, you’re in metabolic debt.

• Interest* shows up as fatigue, inflammation, insulin resistance, and hormonal chaos.

 

Monthly Repayment Strategy

• Set a date each month to “pay down” your calorie debt.

• Just a few days of discipline, fasting, movement, clean eating—can clear the 5% overdraft.

• 3 random days of fast = ~5,000 kcal repayment.

• Steady gym, cardio and yoga sessions, accelerate payoff.

• Week by week, you restore metabolic credit and reclaim flexibility.

 

The SIP Advantage

- Once calorie debt is cleared, every workout and every clean meal becomes a Systematic Investment Plan.

- These small, steady contributions build a health corpus—one your older, wiser self can draw upon in turbulent times.

“Be prudent, don’t just pay your debts on time, build that corpus, that’s health wisdom”.
