Your
Calorie Consumption
Know what You
Consume
he amount of calories that you consume on a
daily basis will determine whether you gain or lose weight and
this is one of the most important aspects of any weight loss
program that you decide to go on.
Studies have been taken where
overweight people believed they were eating no more food than
other people they associated with who were considerably slimmer
than them.
The overweight people were under
the false impression that the reason why they were heavier and
gaining weight was due to their body's metabolism.
When keeping a record of their
food consumption over a specified period of time it was shown
that they were actually consuming more calories and it had
nothing to do with their metabolism but rather their choice of
food and the quantities they were eating.
You only need to reduce your
calorie intake by 100 calories per day to make a substantial
effect on your weight over the period of the year.
This is a very manageable goal
for almost everybody and it is not too difficult to cut back by
that amount, however many of the weight loss programs are
recommending considerably more reduction in calories making it
very difficult to maintain and as a result of this many people
are failing to achieve what they start out to do.
Now when you combine the fact
that you only need to reduce calories by that much, with
additional supplementation of vitamins and minerals that can
help your overall health, you can see how you can stay
nutritionally balanced throughout the whole weight loss process
and not feel as though you are starving yourself.
For many people just knowing that
the hurdle is not so great, and that there are suitable
supplements to assist them, is enough to ensure that they can
start and maintain a good weight loss
program.
