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.
In fashion terms, a healthy diet accentuates the immune system. It does not mean starving yourself as you count calories (how boring!) or settling for bland foods that are void of spices and flavor. Instead, a healthy diet aligns your calorie intake with your lifestyle, while meeting the requirements of your physical and psychological needs. With this in mind, a healthy should be different from one person to the next as each person arguably has different calorie needs.
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.
The no-carb diet has been proven "wrong." Carbs are an important element to a healthy diet and it is more likely that carbohydrate intake needs to be scaled back (not eliminated altogether). What you need to aim for is matching the amount of carbs to the amount of protein that you take in on a regular basis. Ideally, a marginal preference to protein works best and partially replacing carbs with animal or plant protein seems to work fine. Now, that doesn't mean going nuts with protein; some, like red meats, should be limited or avoided because they contain high fat content (lean meats on the other hand should be a regular component to your diet menu).
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 noted here, fasting does not have a place in a healthy diet or weight loss. While it sounds cliche, weight loss really is a change in lifestyle, everything from how exercise to what you eat. It doesn't mean settling for tasteless meals; enjoy healthy foods instead but make sure they match up with your body's calorie requirements. Also, bring others into your exercise routine; if you run into resistance, don't call it exercise, call it an evening stroll or spring cleaning involving moving heavy boxes around. Once it becomes routine, you'll be addicted! - 15343
