Track Down
Your Calorie Intake
Are you tired of your flabby skin folds
and big reflections? Well, it’s time for you to trim down your body
fats and share your beauty to the world. Saying it is not as simple as
doing it. Many obese and overweight people have tried dieting and
exercise but only few people get their way to success. If magic has
tricks, weight loss has it too!
Why kill yourself not eating your favorite foods and dishes or sweating
hard to lose weight, if you could get an easy way to a perfect body.
Sounds tricky, isn’t it? Definitely not, it’s just a wise decision
to choose the easier path.
Balanced Calorie Intake
Calorie balance is essentially needed to get rid of excess body fats.
Adhering to a diet plan is sometimes difficult. People who go for it
become preoccupied with food. There may be social pressure to eat, and
it is hard to resist calorie rich food.
Diets are planned on an individual basis, with the calorie intake planned
at a level below the person’s caloric need for maintaining weight.
The caloric intake should come from complex carbohydrates and proteins.
A protein intake of about 1gram per kilogram of ideal body weight should
be maintained. There should be a decrease in fat intake. Salt-free diets
are of no permanent value because the weight loss relates to water loss,
and the return of weight is possible when salt is added to the diet.
Keeping Track of Calorie Intake
Individuals consuming food high in calories before weight reduction
therapy are less likely to achieve positive outcome or rapid weight
loss because the calorie deficit between weight-maintenance requirements
and the recommended diet is large. If both males and females adhere
to a 1000 calorie intake, the males are expected to lose at a faster
rate because their calorie deficit is larger.
One pound of adipose or fat tissue has an energy potential of approximately
3500 calories. In order to lose 1 pound of adipose tissue on a weekly
basis, a calorie deficit of 500 calories per day must be induced. If
a person requires only 1500 calories to maintain current weight, that
person should not be expected to lose more than one pound of body fat
per week when adhering to a 1000 calorie diet. Weight loss is faster
when lean body tissue is used up, because lean tissue has an energy
potential of about 1850 calories. Water has no calorie value per se,
but 1 L of water weighs approximately 1 kg.
When caloric intake is severely reduced, there is often a large initial
weight loss as result of water loss. The plateau of observable weight
loss is then reached when fat is being lost. It usually lasts 7 to 10
days and may reduce the motivation of the dieter. Observable weight
loss will then be noted after this period but the rate will not be as
rapid because the body still adapts to the decreases metabolic rate.
