| Losing Weight – The Facts |
We all want to lose a few pounds and look great, primarily through those summer months, but the average person fails in keeping those pounds off if they lose the weight at all. This is because many people follow the latest “celebrity” diets, which are suitable for quick weight loss but are not good for your health or for keeping the weight off.
It is scientifically proven that if you follow a diet where you lose too much weight too quickly, then you are starving your body of certain nutrients it needs; when you start moving towards eating a regular diet, your body will automatically store these nutrients within the body in case this should happen again.
If you want to lose weight, there are some golden rules you need to follow:
* Eat one or two meals a day;
* Eat healthily (try the ketogenic diet, see if it suits you);
* Eat from all the food groups (Fat, Protein, Carbohydrates);
* Exercise
We want to achieve to still eat three meals a day, just in smaller quantities and with healthier food. Within the three meals, we still need all the different food groups for our body to function correctly, so we still need our protein, carbohydrates, and our fats. Another important factor for losing weight is exercise, I don’t mean running a marathon, but if you can spare 20 or 30 minutes a day for a walk or a light jog, you will undoubtedly feel the benefits.
If you want to lose weight quickly, it will only last short term; if you set your goals and take your time losing the weight correctly, you will see the benefits for a long time to come. Losing weight is not just about physical looks; it’s about mental well-being and your future health.
