Fasting
Fasting is an age old practice. During fasting you tend to loose weight but the results are short term. Fasting lowers your metabolism. Lengthy fasting could be dangerous as it prevents the body from getting the adequate amount of nutrients. Due to the decreased calorie intake the body depletes its energy stores which can even lead to malnutrition.So instead of long term fasting opt for healthy diets that you can stick to and maintain weight for a long term.
Counting Calories
Fats, carbohydrates, sweets ,proteins all contain calories. Are some better than others or have an equal amount of calories? Counting calorie is a complicated business. Instead one should choose healthy foods which prevent you from gaining those ‘’extra “ kilos to fill yourself. Loosing weight is not about controlling calorie intake all the time, but controlling the type of foods you eat for overall wellness of the body.
Healthy Eating
Our diet should be a balanced one with all nutrients in the right proportion along with roughage. Roughage helps our body to get rid of undigested food materials. We should choose foods that are low in trans fats. A balanced diet is an important part of maintaining good health and can help you feel your best. By making small changes you would feel healthy ,happy and fit which would energize your mind and body.
Understanding Diet
Calories means energy and the right energy balance is the key to healthy living. One gram of carbohydrate gives 4 kcal and 1 gram of fat gives about 9 kcal of energy. There is no specific or common diet for everyone because every individual varies in their lifestyle and energy requirements.
