Perhaps the desire to be fit and healthy has become so popular because of the rise in weight problems. This may be because we are bombarded with images of men and women who are attractive and obviously very fit, that make us feel a little inadequate. Health clubs, gyms and many others have as a consequence become much busier and the trend looks to continue.
On television, exercise machines, weight loss products, and other paraphernalia to improve fitness have made a huge impression on the audiences whose homes they invade on a daily basis. The way we eat and the types of food we consume also play a major role in our overall health and fitness so the two should really be emphasized as a joint effort.
We need to remember that our bodies require a certain level of nourishment if they are going to be able to repair themselves and stay healthy and diet and fitness go hand in hand. With the popularity of keeping fit, many different opinions, methods, programs and dieting strategies have been formulated by numerous professionals, among these are high-carb diets and high-fat diets but which one is more effective and which one should you choose?
To understand this better you need to know that the high-carbohydrate followers believe that you need to eat foods rich in carbohydrates to exercise well and the opposition believe you need to consume foods high in fat. Those followers of eating foods with high carbohydrate content believe these are best owing to the amount of energy that can be stored in the muscles ready for instant release.
Whereas, fat is a rich source of calories with two and a half times more than proteins and carbohydrates whilst fat metabolizes in an eighth of the time it does for carbohydrates. So a person can follow a high-carb and low fat fitness diet or the other way around but it is not recommended to follow both at the same time; unless of course if you want to gain body fat.
But then diet fitness is not all about losing fat and you must also consider your diet in order to keep fat away. Research shows that sustainable loss of weight can only be achieved on a diet which suits the individual food preferences, lifestyle and medical profile.
Just losing weight is not the issue as many overweight individuals manage to do this but if the diet doesn't suit them they pile it all back on, so the trick is to organize a diet that exactly fits your needs and maintain a moderation to what you eat. Having made that point, it is only fair to say that as part of a healthy diet, certain vitamins and other nutrients essential for good health must still be taken if the body wants to remain strong.
There are many diet fitness programs; the hardest part is finding one which suits your particular circumstances, but when you do it will be easier to stay with it and keep healthy. - 15343
