With the beginning of the New Year , we often set goals that we hope to achieve by the end of it. One of the most common is to lose weight and get in shape.
To achieve this, experts advise to focus mainly on physical activity and proper diet .
Taking weight loss medication is not recommended. They can do much more harm than good, experts say.
Emphasis should be placed on the consumption of fruits, vegetables, skim milk products , egg whites, chicken white meat, fish, soy products.
There are also some foods that can help fight weight, such as papaya, for example. The fruit contains two enzymes that are involved in weight loss. As a disadvantage it can be pointed out that the content of enzymes is the highest, while the fruit is green, and then it is not very tasty.
Other foods that would help in a similar situation are: pineapple , hot peppers, coffee, grapefruit, celery, blueberries.
It is very important to know that weight loss should not exceed a kilogram - two per week, depending on the accumulated body weight . Thus, if a person weighs 110 kg, losing 2 kg in one week is permissible. However, when the weight is less, it will be harmful to health.
Nutritionists recommend reducing the total energy value of food during the day by 500 kcal and increasing physical activity.
Exercise and physical activity should be one hour each day. Those who are more active in sports have a regime in place. They can achieve better results by moving to a higher muscle load .
Losing weight is a difficult goal, but keeping the weight off is even harder. Therefore, it is advisable not to disturb the started diet and physical activities .
Motivation is also essential, experts say.
