Successful weight loss does not happen instantaneously. Over an extended period of time, as you ingest more calories than you burn off, this surplus transforms into fat and can result in outright obesity. Since this process has taken time to develop, it stands to reason that it takes just as much time, if not more, to burn off. To accomplish long-term weight loss, you need to incorporate three necessary factors: a healthy lifestyle, a healthy exercise routine, and most importantly a healthy diet.
A healthy diet supports your immune system. It doesn't mean starving yourself while you track your calorie count and opt for a single can of cola instead of five or six small meals. To that end, it also doesn't mean settling for bland foods that taste like cardboard. What it does mean is matching your calorie needs with your lifestyle and physiological requirements. In other words, your diet will be different than your friend's; and it should be.
A healthy diet obviously promotes anti-oxidant profusely, which can work as a perfect antidote of aging as well as rejuvenate the skin tissues. There are some vitamins essential for healthy immunity system which should be included in the diet regimen. Anti-oxidant and essential vitamins are profusely available in fruit and thus some fruits especially fibrous fruits are to be an essential part of a good and approved diet.
A common myth about carbohydrate intake is that it needs to be restricted. Again, this goes back to lifestyle. Typically, what you should do is reduce your carb intake or at the very least, match carb quantity to protein quantity. Ideally, preference should be given to protein intake; foods like animal protein or plant protein can serve the purpose of carb replacement. In this range of protein-based food, red meat should be avoid because of its fat residue although lean meats can and should be added regularly to your diet.
Dairy products are to be skipped from the range of healthy diet ingredients because of its adverse effect on obesity. Instead low cal yogurt; low-cal ice cream or double toned milk can be perfect for intake. There are many health drinks available in market; these health drinks can be consumed but the intake of calories with per drink need to be checked and calculated meticulously.
While we start regulated exercises along with a recommended diet plan we tend to lose the extra fluid level in our health system and thus our figure becomes toned. But during this period proper intake of water to the tune of eight to ten cups every day, is essential to retaining the necessary fluid level. Otherwise there the probability of muscle cramping increases and this does not prove convenient for an active work schedule.
As you may have noticed here, a healthy diet does not include fasting. In fact, it sounds like a cliche, but weight loss really comes down to a lifestyle change, including changing (or starting) your exercise routine and upgrading your diet. Enjoy tasty but healthy meals that match up with your individual calorie requirements. And incorporated friends and family in your exercise routine -- if you encounter resistance, don't call it exercise, call it an after-dinner walk or "spring cleaning" that involves moving heavy boxes around. Once it becomes a routine, you will find it addictive (and successful) for everyone involved. - 15266
