As covered in this video, the average donation is 1 pint of blood, which weighs about 1 pound; so right off the bat, youre walking out of the donation center 1 pound lighter! However, the catch is that this weight is easily put back on with the liquids you are instructed to drink after donating, along with cookies or other sweet treats to give your blood sugar a quick boost. Moreover, you cannot donate blood frequently, so exercising and dieting are still the best ways to lose weight sustainably. In this video, we discuss how much blood donors give up when he/she donates blood and how our bodies cope with this blood loss. While replacing one pint of blood burns approximately 650 calories, we explain why exercising and dieting are still the best ways to lose weight sustainably.\n
