Water for
WeightLoss
Increased Water Intake Can
Help
One of the most important parts of your
weight loss program will be to ensure that you get a regular
supply of water throughout the day as it will not only assist
with your digestion and elimination but it will also ensure
that you remain hydrated throughout the day helping your body
to function as it should.
Foods that are high in
carbohydrates give us energy but there are different types of
carbohydrates and eating the wrong ones can make you
fat.
The bad carbohydrates are simple
carbohydrates such as sugar. These will give you a boost of
energy as the sugar gets into the bloodstream fast but they are
not as good for you as complex carbohydrates such as grains,
fruits and vegetables which will help to satisfy your appetite
and make you feel full for longer by supplying you with
fiber.
The problem with most people, and
the reason they get fat, is because they are eating simple
carbohydrates and fats in big quantities in their diet of junk
food.
Simply changing from these poor
carbohydrate foods to more complex carbohydrates will help to
lose weight.
Proteins are made up of amino
acids which are the building blocks of the body and they help
to maintain and repair the components of the body.
Proteins also supply energy but
not as readily as carbohydrates and this is why many people who
are tired choose to eat more carbohydrates to give them
energy.
Fats will also supply immediate
energy, however they are very high in calorie content and there
are many health risks associated with a diet that is high in
fat.
All foods consist of one or more
of these three main types of food; carbohydrate, protein and
fat.
Where possible your carbohydrates
should be complex carbohydrates or starches and try to reduce
the simple carbohydrates such as sugar from your
diet.
You should have no more than 30%
of your caloric intake on a daily basis coming from
fats.
Get a sufficient amount of
dietary fiber to help curb your appetite and help with your
digestive system.
Taking good quality vitamins and
minerals will also help with your weight loss and maintain a
healthy body throughout your weight loss
program.
