Can food influence on weight loss, yes it can, but it is also
well known that nutrition and various kinds of diets have become an industry
in where millions of dollars are
turning. Unfortunately,
some diets that we can find over
the internet don’t work but also they
can influence harmfully on our health. For
example, the elimination of whole
food groups from the menu can result with deficit of some nutrients in our
body. Starvation Dieting is probably the worst possible way of losing weight. Not only
that you will be feeling tired and
without of energy, but you will deprive
your body of important nutrients
and necessary "fuel" so, it could function normally. One of the most common
mistakes when we try to
lose weight is Skipping meals
Decrease
in portions or calories, is essential if
you want to lose weight, but it
is very harmful to skip a whole meal or meals, and
that kind of "solution"
will very badly
affect your metabolism. When you skip
meals your body reacts by slowing down the metabolism. Metabolism presents
all physical and chemical processes
occurring in the body, and
which allows us undisturbed and crucial processes such as energy source, which is required
for normal thermoregulation of
the body or muscle movement,
breathing, blood circulation and normal
functioning of our nervous system. To perform these processes, our body converts the food we eat into energy. Depending on the amount of food that we brought in our bodies, all of our organs start to emit
hormones so our digestive system can break down the food and converted it so
it can be used as a "fuel",
in a form of energy source that our body needs for proper
function or it may be stored as a
backup energy source, in the form of adipose tissue in
the body, most commonly around our belly. Also others
factors except what kind of eating habits we have influence on our metabolic rate, including age, sex,
weight, physical activity and general health - complete way of life that we are leading is important. In fact, it is
enough to slow down your metabolic rate due to bad habits and
you may find yourselves with threatens of obesity. If you
think that the quick solution for losing weight is Starvation
You
are wrong! This type of
diet will stimulate your metabolism
to slowdown, which will than lead
to fatigue, decreasing of your libido, and can even cause depression. In
addition, starvation eventually has to stop, and melted pounds will just come back like a boomerang. Junk food, unbalanced
calorie portions and consuming to excessive meals
at the wrong day time are the main cause
of accumulated fat in our body. Starvation or diets
that completely eject certain food or groups of
food from the menu may do more harm than good. Instead
of completely removing some ingredients, such as
food rich with carbohydrates, you should focus on entering whole grains -
they are one of the main dietary
sources of complex carbs that present the main "fuel" for our body.
For achieving a good well- being it takes
time and commitment, as well as
for any other goal that you
set in life.
What are usual mistakes that we make in our nutrition?
Unfortunately,
today most of us eat too much -
too much sugar, too many fats, too much cholesterol and
unnecessary excessive amounts of
salt. Many of us enter excessive amounts of calories or eat too often on a daily base. Such abundance contributed
to epidemic phenomena of appierency of many diseases
such as high blood pressure, stroke,
arthritis, diabetes, obesity and unfortunately on appearance
of many types of cancer. These diseases besides our genetic predisposition are also associated
with our lifestyle, and especially with our nutrition. So, to achieve not just better health status, but complete
outlook, it is essential to consume less of any
processed food and include natural food that nature has provide for us.
A
healthy menu should contain cereals such as barley,
buckwheat, oats, wheat or corn. Of course, if you
want to lose weight you
should certainly pay attention to
the amount of your meals. Generally,
eating large portions is a reason of excess
fat around the waist. Remember
that our body needs fats and
during any kind of diets, especially because of vitamins that can only be degradable
in fats such as vitamins A, D,
K, and E. It
should be noted that there is not
a single food that can make you magically lose weight. Exercise
is necessary in any way, and
results with achieving of your desired weight. Your goal should be done gradually. But, the good
news is that there are some
foodstuffs that can help you on
your path to the slim line,
because following a list of groceries will impact on speeding up of your metabolism and helps us with burning more calories.
Whole
grains
We
all need fibers in our diet,
and whole grains are a true treasury of dietary fibers. Food rich in fiber
stimulates and purifies our bloodstream, and as one part of a role that fibers act on a slower digesting, and as the result is a decreased appetite, which leads to less
food intake and to
control body weight, more easily for
example, quinoa (cereal) does not contain gluten, and is rich in magnesium, which has an impact on the proper regulation of bowel
movements, especially in the case of constipation.
Magnesium also helps in binding calcium
for bones, promotes
muscle relaxation and thus also affects the decreasing stress and affects the maintenance
of a stable blood sugar level. This cereal is an excellent choice for breakfast especially if you want to lose weight. Quinoa is also a great choice of food because
it simply can substitute potatoes, rice, and flour, it’s a grocery that has a
possibility to adapt to whatever flavor you want and transform it and yet, you
don’t need to worry about entering worthless or excess amounts of calories.
Eggs
this kind of food is a true treasury of proteins. Eggs contain good cholesterol
and nine amino acids that our body can’t produce but which are necessary for
our normal functioning.
It is scientifically proven that people who eat eggs for breakfast have a
longer period of sense of satiety, and therefore during the day they probably
will enter fewer calories.
Fruits - Berries
Berries have a low caloric value, and they are very rich in antioxidants, which
main assignment is to neutralize impact of free radicals that may damage cell, especially
brain cells so , we can freely say that they have a positively affect on
reducing the symptoms of Alzheimer's
disease, for example.
Also with eating berries you will get a bigger chance of avoiding getting the
bowel or ovarian cancer.
Berries are also abounding with diet fibers. Adequate intake of fibers are
essential, especially when person tries to compile to a restrictive
kind of diet, so with consuming berries it will help you feel full for a longer
period of time.
Fish and seafood
it belongs to group of food that will very soon melt your adipose tissue. All species
of Seafood are an excellent source of
omega-3 fatty acids
and proteins. These fatty acids assist in faster fat burning and so they improve the efficiency of yours
metabolism. Include fish in your weekly
menu at least 3 times and you'll soon
notice a visible difference.
Dark green veggies
as broccoli, cabbage,
Brussels sprout, chard, spinach, etc., can freely be called “super
food”. We all generally know
the health benefits that dark green vegetables have for our organism. This natural “bomb” of healthy
ingredients also contains a lot of chlorophyll (green pigment), that among other
things helps us in burning more
calories. Chlorophyll helps with excretion of toxins
especially mycotoxins known as aflatoxin, which can be found in
cereals, from the body and eliminate excess fat.
This type of vegetables has strong detoxifying properties; they
contain many vitamins and fibers and reduce the risk of ovarian and breast
cancer, and arthritis.
Citrus fruit
Citrus fruit such as lemon, while they
contain a high amount of vitamin
C, besides improving our immune system they are an excellent choice of food for melting fats and
toxins. To people who want to lose weight it’s recommended to drink a glass of warm water with a fresh squeezed lemon every
morning on an empty stomach. This will give you more energy, it will
provide a quicker cleanse in our body from toxins, it will also stimulate
digestion, strengthen your immune system and help your
liver in detoxification process. For
all the above reasons, citrus
fruit is an excellent food
for those who are battling with their weight.
Remember,
