Eating for Fitness

With countless diets, diet-programs and health products promising to help you shed your weight, it becomes a headache to chose and then adopt one. More often it is reproduction of its earlier programs. It should be made easy for being followed.

It’s easy to gain weight and hard to lose it. It’s not only easy to gain but it’s rather tasty also to gain weight. It is hard to shed it off. It's even harder to maintain your weight over a period of time.

Simply eating too much and not being active enough is the cause of people being overweight. Too many people concentrate on losing pounds to improve appearance, when the primary focus of weight control should be to achieve and maintain good health.

Therefore it is always beneficial and productive to make your objective clear regarding maintaining good health rather than being a freak to attain a number-less size.

To get the proper daily nutritional value:

Once Mahatma Buddha said that a normal person needed only 29 Tolas of food for routine working. May be that statement is not feasible to follow these days but overeating has been a fatal factor more lethal than famine and starvation.

To maintain a good routine you should: 

·        Eat a variety of foods

·        Eat a high-fiber diet (choose more grains, fruits and vegetables instead of protein, fats and sugar)

·        Maintain a low-fat, low cholesterol diet (eat no more than 30% of calories from fat, including only 10% from saturated fat)

·        Use moderate amounts of salt and sodium and choose sugar substitutes

·        Limit alcoholic intake

 Often the first step to a good diet lies in changing food and eating behavior: 

 
Diet is not an independent factor. It closely and inseparably related to your life style. It is not sufficient and enough to change only your diet but you should change your complete life style also. A few tips are here:

·        Don't skip meals  

·        Eat a series of small meals throughout the day and avoid a big meal late in the evening

·        Eat and chew slowly

·        Use a smaller-sized plate to achieve a "full plate"

·        Don't go back for seconds

·        Bake or broil food instead of frying Order from light menus and purchase low-calorie or low-fat foods (remember that low-fat does not necessarily mean low-calorie)

·        Learn about food values and make healthy combinations in meals

·        Reward yourself with non-food pleasures

Fat provides more than twice as many calories as protein or carbohydrate (nine calories vs. four). This energy difference may explain how fat promotes weight gain. Yet even when calories are the same, a person eating a high-fat diet tends to store more excess calories as body fat than someone eating a lower-fat diet.
