Weight Loss and Health Care

With the advent of very large meal portions and more great served at restaurants, our concept of normal serving sizes is a distant memory. Stay tuned to the quantities of food you consume at each meal if you want to lose weight permanently.

When necessary, divide your food in half and ask the waiter to put half in a bag to carry. Otherwise you would be too tempting to finish your plate (not to spoil it, because you get to the plate before you have time to feel full, because you do not want to finish the dish before your friends, etc. .) even though it contained huge portions. Learn to pay attention to your hunger level and stop eating when you feel satisfied (and not when your stomach is about to explode).

Losing weight slowly by making small changes

Try to remember that there is no reason to celebrate if you’ve managed to lose 8 pounds in 2 weeks (for example). Losing weight too quickly is definitely not recommended (and not just because of the yo-yo after the end of the plan). It is important to realize that the more you lose weight faster, this weight loss is likely to come from water and muscle and not fat.

You should know that muscle tissue is critical to keep your metabolism high. Losing muscle tissue (by losing weight too quickly) actually causes a decrease in the number of calories per day you can eat without gaining weight. The best fat loss is achieved when you manage to lose weight slowly. Do your best not to lose more than 0.5 or 1 kg per week.

500 grams of your weight is equivalent to a 4 000 calories. By making small changes such as eating 250 calories less per day (compared to your daily calorie needs) and burning 250 more calories per day through exercise, you will lose 0.5 kg (mostly fat) week. A slow weight loss of this type helps to lose weight permanently.
