Dos and Don’ts for Dieting
Posted on: 10/Sep/2016 10:57:30 AM
There are numerous diets available for your perusal nowadays. Before you follow one, here are a few dos and don’ts that you should keep in mind.
Low fat diets are good. However, you don`t need to cut out fat altogether. Dieticians say you still need to consume a sufficient amount of fat as it`s needed for energy, tissue repair and to transport vitamins around the body. Instead, say no to saturated fats like butter and go for healthier options like olive oil.
Do not eat late at night. A meal eaten late at night will not necessarily make the body store more fat. Just ensure that you eat a couple of hours before sleeping so that the food gets digested well.
Don’t cut out carbs entirely. Eating rice, bread and pasta is fine as long as it is eaten in moderation.
Remember to exercise and not only diet. The larger you are, the more calories you need to keep your body working. People tend to put on weight, when they eat more than they burn.
Do not follow crash diets. Doctors agree that this is an unhealthy method as it not only removes fat but also muscle and tissue. Crash dieting can also make you weak. Opt for a slow and sustained weight loss plan that will help you maintain your reduced weight long-term.
