Weight Loss Tips:By Dr Unnati Chavda.
1. Check to see if you are overweight or obese. To find out your
BMI you need to divide your weight (measured in kilos) by your height
(measured in metres) squared. If the result is greater than 25, your
health may be improved by losing weight.
2. Match your diet to your body’s requirements. If you eat and
drink more calories than your body requires you will put on weight. Learn
to control calories and portion sizes, make recipes leaner, and eat
infrequently from fast food restaurants. Also learn how to snack with
healthful choices.
3. Colour your diet with a large variety of colorful, cancer fighting
fruit and vegetables. There are seven different color ranges of
both fruit and vegetables and by choosing between 5 to 9 daily serves
from a wide range of fruit and vegetables, we are extending our
consumption of cancer (and other disease) fighting nutrients.
4.Stress and weight loss:
Stressing over losing weight probably wont help you accomplish your goals. It might help to have professional help to monitor you. I wouldnt weigh myself everyday. Instead you would try to learn nutrition from a certified professional dietician, or physician nutrition specialist. aiming for 5-7 fruits and fresh vegetables a day- not fired, or with oil, is a good way to start your journey.
5. A very simple logic for weight loss:
Any diet that has you take in fewer calories than you need will help you lose weight. Weight loss is a very simple equation: Energy in (calories) - Energy out (exercise)= Energy Difference. If this number is POSITIVE, you lose weight. If it is NEGATIVE, you gain weight.
6.Suddenly Increase/Losing In Weight:
Any sudden changes in weight could be an indication of systemic issues - weigh gain could be heart, fluid gain that is sudden, weight loss is worrisome is a sign body is breaking down quickly to make up energy need evaluation for acute illness, parasites or any other chronic diseases.
So be careful for your sudden increase/losing in weight and consult doctor soon.
