Lose
Weight Sensibly:
The most sensible,
safe and effective way of slimming is to lose
weight slowly. Avoid crash diets as they often
fail. They are impossible to be sustained. Crash
dieting has adverse effects like making you look
haggard and loss of beauty. In the gradual diet
control method you adapt to the change of food
habits and the craving for certain food items is
reduced. An average woman spends about 2,300
calories a day. To reduce your weight you should
consume about 1,200-1,300 calories daily. When
you eat about 1000 calories less every day, your
body falls short of the calories needed. Thus
100grams of your stored body fat is used daily.
So in about ten days you would be able to lose a
kilo of your weight. However, on this diet,
weight loss won't be rapid. But though slow,
with persistent diet control you will definitely
see healthy results.
How Fattening Are High Protein Foods?
There is a myth that
protein-rich foods are not fattening. But
proteins actually provide the same number of
calories per gram as carbohydrates. So they
should be equally fattening but protein-rich
food stays in the stomach as quickly as
carbohydrates. Due to this they tend to satisfy
your appetite for much longer time and you don't
feel hungry quickly. For example, a serving of
mutton seems more filling than a bowl of cereal
and sugar. Though both the portions have
precisely the same number of calories.
A
protein slimming diet suggesting consumption of
eggs, yoghurt or fish rather than starchy and
sugary foods is likely to be rich in minerals
and vitamins. But carbohydrates can be easily
eliminated from the diet without causing any
deficiency of vitamins and minerals.
