Dieting Tips

By Gayle Weise


Weight loss is one of the hot topics of our age, we see a lot written, said, demonstrated and sold to help you achieve it. Of course, some products are designed by people who want to earn money from this popular niche, while others are absolutely non-commercial, but sometimes a bit radical or impractical. However, most specialists agree that one of the best ways to lose weight is through healthy nutrition. Here are some tips to help you achieve this more easily.

One thing you don't want to do is stop eating completely, or drastically drop your calorie intake. This will put your body into starvation mode and is a very unhealthy practice. You need a slow decrease in your calorie intake and start to eat healthier foods.

If you only reduce your calorie intake, you won't achieve much. On the other hand, if you add some exercises, you will lose weight far more successfully. Keep in mind that right and healthy nutrition is only the first step to weight loss - after that you will need to make some physical efforts, too.

There is this common misunderstanding that the less you eat, the more weight you lose. Nothing like that! The matter is not in how much you eat, but in what you eat. So you can eat as much as you do now and lose weight. However, you may start eating once a day and still maintain your weight or even gain more. The solution to this is: eat wisely! Count your calorie intake and make sure you eat healthy food that gives your body a lot of energy and less calories.

If these terms mean nothing to you, make sure you get to know them and regard them as powerful weapons in your battle against weight. BMI (Body Mass Index) shows you whether you are underweight, with normal weight or overweight by taking into consideration your height and weight.

BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) shows how much energy is needed by your body when it is at rest - in other words, how much energy you need to have in order to survive if you do absolutely nothing. TDEE is total daily energy expenditure, and it shows how much energy is used by your body for doing what you do every day - exercises, sleeping, walking, working, etc. Using these two indexes wisely will guide you how to reduce your calorie intake and increase your activity without harming your body.

It may be how good/attractive you will look and feel in your body or what health benefits it will bring you, but you need to motivate yourself in order to lose weight. Otherwise, you will keep your diet and exercise reluctantly and will eventually give up. Remember: losing weight and controlling your nutrition will help you deal with a series of conditions like high blood pressure, cholesterol, heart problems, problems with your joints, etc.

To cut a long story down, no-one announces that a weight control is easy. Nonetheless if you are into it, there are tips which may help you to take on a new sort of diet continuously, exercising, monitoring your calorific intake, using BMI, BMR and TDEE and being incentivized. The other useful information for everyone who wishes to dump the fat is DON'T WAIT! Start at this time, and the results are probably going to be accomplished earlier. Good luck!
