Good day to all and delicious weight loss!
What is the biggest cause of being overweight? This overeating is a large number of calories consumed.
Each of us has our own calorie requirement for the body to function. And when the body is oversaturated with energy (calories) from food, it stores extra calories in reserve, in fat.
Everything seems to be simple - eat less and you won't get fat.
But in fact, not everything turns out to be so simple.
How often do we hear from friends - I eat little, tiny portions, but I'm getting fat!
And how often I hear and read such words! Almost every day).
Those who do not count calories and do not understand the principle of losing weight on a calorie deficit will be mistaken about the amount of food they eat, its quality, and also the quantity energy (and this is the main thing!)the food eaten brings.
✔ A simple example.
I ate a small piece of 50 g of lard for lunch and this is whole 400 kcal, and I'll put the bacon on the bread. But will I feel like I'm full? No. My stomach practically will not notice 50 g of fat, and my appetite will only grow up and I will eat more and more until the stomach is full and gives a signal that everything is enough, I am satisfied.
Therefore, I will eat this sandwich with borsch on fatty pork and roast in sunflower oil, and with thick homemade sour cream, just a spoonful, but so fat. Tasty! Well, what did I eat? Soup and a tiny sandwich!
As a result, I will eat about 1500 calories at a time, and maybe more - and this is almost the daily calorie intake that I need!
And there was also breakfast - where there was a piece of raw smoked sausage on a white bread. A very small sandwich that brought me 300 kcal. And also coffee with milk and 3 tablespoons of sugar.
And dinner is ahead. Or maybe I'll drink coffee or tea with sugar and eat 1 small cookie or candy.
Is it a lot?
But what do I get in a day? 3000 kcal? Of which 1000-1200 will be superfluous and will go to stock. And so every day, from day to day.
✌But there is another scenario.
You can eat a fairly large portion of salad, a large slice of baked turkey, some boiled or baked potatoes and get the same 400 calories as from a tiny piece of bacon. But be full!
In losing weight, portions are not important! What matters is what you eat and how much calories (energy) your food will bring you.
Therefore, a few rules:
1️⃣Fill your plate with low-calorie foods.
- Replace fatty, high-calorie meat (pork, lamb) with less high-calorie (chicken, turkey, rabbit, beef), eat fish.
- Add vegetables to your main meals,
- Change the way you prepare food - do not fry oils in the sea, but bake, boil, simmer.
2️⃣ Observe the diet.
- Eat not 2 times a day or whenever you have to, but try to adhere to a convenient meal schedule.
- Include at least 1 snack.
- distribute meals so as not to be hungry during the day and not to pounce on food in the evening.
3️⃣ Drink a glass of water before meals (about 15 minutes).
Be healthy, slim, tasty and satisfying!
