Want to manage your health and weight the right way? The right way is actually a simple equation:
CALORIES USED > CALORIES INTAKE = BODY FAT REDUCED.
For people who are desk-bound and have minimal exercise, the calorie intake should be around 1200 calories (for women) and 1500 calories (for men) daily. The calorie intake should be spread for at least 3 meals, taken around 5 hours apart. Each meal should comprise of a serving each of fruits, vegetables, protein and carbohydrates.
Some tips:
- Do not go hungry. By going hungry, the body may sense that there may not be enough food to eat and so will it try to store more fat.
- Avoid skipping meals. By skipping a meal, people may tend to eat more calories than needed on the next meal and the excess calories will just be stored as fat.
- Eat fruits and vegetables first to clean up the digestive track. When possible, eat protein first and separately before carbohydrates for proper digestion.
- Eat slowly as the stomach needs around 20 minutes to signal the brain that it is full. You may have already eaten more than required within that period.
