How To Deal With Weight Loss The Proper Way

If you want to solve the problem of weight loss you need to start with the basics. You have to look into your plate and start consuming calories. While this may be common knowledge, there are a few challenges.

Portion Control

The first place where you need to look at to start your weight loss journey is portions. Even healthy things can get you fat if you eat enough of them. The human body can function very well with meals that weigh between 350 to 400 grams or 12 to 14 ounces. If you eat more than that, you overeat and feel way too full and it may increase your size.

Number of Meals per Day

To solve the problem of weight loss you also need to control how many meals per day you have. Breakfast lunch and dinner are more of a standard these days but people tend to snack in between meals which adds up. In reality, you do not need 3 meals per day to be healthy. Breakfast is not the most important meal of the day. The body does not need food immediately after you wake up.

Eating a rich breakfast will make feel full, and sluggish and it will trigger the digestive process. This eats up your energy levels as digestion is an intense process. If your breakfast is rich in carbs, your overall state of health gets even worse. On the other hand, if you skip breakfast and any other snack until lunch, you are doing intermittent fasting. Eating lunch at noon and dinner at 8 PM makes your body reduce its insulin levels and burn fat to make other forms of energy called ketone bodies. These will provide you with the much-needed energy boost in the morning.

Exercise

While exercise alone will not solve the problem of weight loss, it does help. Running on a treadmill or going for a run around the neighborhood will help maintain your cardiovascular health and ensures that your body functions correctly. You will also burn some calories but not a considerable amount. You need to complement this minor calorie burn with intermittent fasting and a low-carb diet.
