To lose one pound of fat in one week, a deficit of 3,500 calories is needed.

Option A provides a larger deficit but may be difficult to sustain for many individuals, and option C may not result in a significant enough deficit. Option D provides a deficit but may not be as effective as combining a deficit in calories with exercise.
