Maintain A Healthy Body Weight

Maintain a healthy body weight' If you're struggling with keeping your ideal body weight, there are two ways to manage that. First, you can attempt to lose the amount of weight you want through diet and exercise. This isn't an easy solution for everyone, but it's one that really works for many of us. We'll discuss how to determine your ideal bodyweight and give tips on how to lose the pounds and maintain that weight. Once we've discussed what you need to consider, we'll go some deeper into the science behind maintaining and losing bodyweight.

Why is eating too much not good?

When we eat more than our bodies need it can cause a whole host of issues. For example, eating excess sugar can lead to high blood pressure and even heart disease. When we eat very few calories our system releases fat cells in response as a form of stress relief. These fat cells help burn excess energy. Also, when you don't use all the energy you have, you end up burning less calories at rest. So as you age your metabolism slows down (a very common side-effect of aging). The problem tends to occur with overfeeding since your body doesn’t have enough energy to function properly, leading you to gain weight.

What we need.

If you're trying to lose weight, there are three things you need to make sure you do to achieve your desired body. Your ideal body weight will vary depending on a number of factors. Some of these include how active you are/are not being active enough and those who have obesity. To keep track of your fitness levels and how much cardio and strength training you have to give yourself, try using scale. You should weigh yourself regularly. Next, you need to determine your activity level (whether you're sedentary or light physical activity only). The higher your activity, the more lean muscle and more total volume in your body. Having more muscle mass allows you to increase protein absorption and allows you to increase how efficient your metabolism is. In order to maintain a healthy weight, you need to have around 3,500 calories per day. While this may seem like a lot of calories, it has shown to be one of the most important things you need to get right. After eating, you still tend to need about 2,300 calories per day. If you're finding yourself wanting something larger than that, it might be necessary to reduce your portion sizes or else eat more slowly and gradually, rather than suddenly and forcibly.

It is essential to make sure you are eating the proper amounts of protein that your body needs based on where you are physically. Most people will find themselves consuming less protein in their muscles, which will result in decreased muscle mass. Try and consume between 70% to 80% of your daily protein intake. Protein from a plant source is usually better as opposed to animal meat. You’ll also want to consume lots of fibres like chia seeds, almonds, avocados, nuts, apples, bananas etc. Some studies suggest that fibres may encourage satiety and aid digestion therefore reducing food cravings and improving the gut and heart health.

You must give yourself enough time. As tempting as it is to binge-eat in front of the TV, especially if you’ve been watching a show on Netflix or a Hollywood movie, it's just not good for your overall health. Not giving yourself enough time to digest and eat the correct amount of calories during your meal breaks is more likely to make you gain the wrong amount of weight or not lose the body you were working so hard to lost. It is essential to stay hydrated. Water is one of the best natural detoxifiers of any liquid in the body, however drinking a glass of water after meals will allow your body to clear unnecessary waste. Also, avoid adding salt and other additives like sugar and caffeine.

Don't cheat. Many people don't realize they are actually depriving themselves until they start gaining the weight back, leaving them feeling exhausted. Cheat eating in small portions is often one of the reasons people start to notice the difference for their own health. Make sure you drink plenty of fluids, including plenty of water too. Don't skimp on carbs or proteins. They are vital for your health and energy. There are a great deal of resources available online and social media platforms on the internet to help keep track of how much you're getting. Look out for supermarkets, cafes and restaurants with low carb menus. Also, think about how much you’re exercising and making your workouts fun instead of the boring routine. Eating out or a friend's home can become very motivating. Even though working out will result in more calories, the time you spend together with your friends and family can boost your mood and improve your self-confidence.
