Here are some rules that nutrition experts give us to achieve proper diet and weight loss.
Decades ago, it was relatively easy to maintain good physical shape, such as silhouette and tone. Man has expended as many kilocalories as he has taken in. In our time, in order to lose weight it is necessary to reduce the amount of food consumed and start exercising actively. The fact is that a healthy diet that promises a slim waist is expensive and not everyone can afford it. In most people, the normal weight varies from 7 to 9 kg.
Here are some rules that nutrition experts give us to achieve proper dietary nutrition and thus maintain the attractiveness of the silhouette.
When overweight is not due to ... greed
In order to keep our weight normal, it is necessary to make sure that the hormone leptin works properly in the body. Leptin has the "responsibility" of transmitting a satiety message to the brain department. By the way, this is the same center that is responsible for pleasure and drug intoxication. However, in obese people, scientists have found that despite the high levels of leptin synthesized, the brain does not respond properly to the signal.
A study by researchers at the Oregon Research Institute last year found that the process of brain activity regarding leptin intake and analysis in overweight patients was disrupted. Overweight people who get to overeat systematically eat huge amounts of food to compensate for the lack of pleasure it gives them. In other words, the study shows that in obese people the phenomenon is the opposite of gluttony - they experience a minimum of pleasure from eating compared to others.
It is difficult to succeed and lose weight, especially when the body is going against you and the problem is related to the center of pleasure and interpretation of leptin. So if your body is sabotaging, try to "get out" of the traditional notions of weight loss regimes, and focus on new methods based on the latest scientific discoveries.
Eat a diet every day
Try to follow a well-balanced diet that limits calorie intake. To maintain the normal functioning of the body and maintain your health you need about 1500 calories a day, which in turn ensures weight loss.
In addition to reducing your weight, limiting calories will make you feel much better and reduce health risks: heart disease, diabetes, allergic diseases, asthma, infectious diseases due to impaired immunity and more.
Achieve weight loss without starvation
The trick is the "alternating diet". Years ago, a team of scientists from the National Institute on Aging in Baltimore reported interesting results from the application of a diet that alternates a day with limited food intake with a day when different types of products are consumed. Use this idea!
When the body is forced to burn fat, the hormonal status changes, which triggers two genes SIRT3 and SIRT4 related to aging.
It is right to lose weight at the following pace: to lose about 4.5 kg in 10 weeks. Then, according to a study by a team from the University of Illinois, and blood pressure, heart rate and cholesterol are normal.
