Basics of Weight Loss

 Understanding the Basics of Weight Loss:

 To understand how weight loss works, you have to first understand how calories work. A calorie is energy given in the foods you eat. Your body uses this energy as fuel. Think of it as wood for a fireplace. If you put in too much wood, the fire gets too hot and there’s too much heat produced. In the same manner, too much consumption of calories, especially those foods with empty calories, equals an overabundance of fuel. 

The same way you would store wood in stacked piles for your fireplace, the body stacks an overabundance of calories as fat. It then takes that fat and adds it to the places you don’t want it put. Then you see results like a tummy that laps over the top of your jeans - often called a muffin top - or you discover the results are flabby thighs or a double chin. To make the battle of weight loss even more discouraging, that fat, and its cellulite, can give you a lumpy, bumpy look. 

Cellulite are pockets of that stored fat beneath the surface of your skin. In other words, it’s the chocolate cake or donuts or the second helping of carbohydrates if those calories aren’t burned. Now, all of that’s the bad news. But the good news is, you don’t have to accept being overweight as your fate (no matter how many times you’ve fallen off the diet wagon in the past). 

Because this weight loss technique is easy and inexpensive, so you can stick with it forever. Not only can you stay on the plan, but you’ll find you actually enjoy it!

A regular diet should be light and healthy. A Mediterranean diet is the most preferred for dinner since it is full of fruits, vegetables, herbs and nuts and seeds and these are light foods. Starch less Fruits and Vegetables are easy to digest and also rich in nutrients and fats.
