Weight Loss

Eating to lose weight ? Want to lose weight and keep it off? Read on.

The key to successful fat loss is to cut your fat to 20-25% of total calories and reduce carbohydrates by only a small amount. Carbohydrates should still make up 50-60% of total calories. Although this may sound similar to an average diet, remember the calorie intake has decreased so the carbohydrate has been reduced proportionally.

In general to lose weight you need to ensure:

• You set realistic goals
• Eat regularly
• Have a healthy, balanced diet
• Ensure portion sizes aren't too large
• Allow for lapses now and again. Don't give up. Occasional lapses are OK.
• Make changes to your diet slowly.

Misconceptions

The type and quantity of foods that make up a healthy eating plan are often misunderstood. A lot of people do not eat enough and therefore lower their metabolic rate, which reduces the ability to burn fat and in turn increases the presence of fat. Although the person may experience weight loss due to dehydration and decreased lean muscle tissue this is not a healthy or recommended method.
