Hello everyone, in my new article I will talk about how we can run a successful diet program
without losing motivation. What everyone understands from diet is to lose weight by consuming tasteless, unsalted foods that restrict energy. Diet actually means meal planning and nutrition, and a diet planned by a dietitian suitable for the individual is both very nutritious and provides very good weight loss. If dieting is a periodic process, such as the start of summer or the period of losing excess weight after pregnancy. If the only goal is to lose weight, motivation deteriorates very quickly and the diet turns into an unpleasant process.
What is Dietary Motivation?
Changing eating habits in a healthy direction is actually a change in eating behavior
and behavioral changes do not change at all. It won't be easy either. You can gain healthy eating behavior
while dieting, but only if your diet motivation is high. Dietary
motivation is the power that directs, triggers and activates healthy eating behavior.
Two situations negatively affect dietary motivation: the environment and the individual.
As the environment, dinner invitations, social environments and obesity. I can count them as friends who adopt a high-calorie diet that causes weight gain as their principle. The environment is very important in deteriorating dietary
motivation and is also called fattening environmental conditions. It is possible to continue your diet program successfully without staying away from your environment. First of all, all social meals and ingredients should be shared with your dietician
and integrated into the diet with appropriate recommendations. Being able to say no and
choosing healthy foods under environmental conditions will increase your motivation. Working efforts, previous history of weight gain and loss, and length of time are all effective. Transforming a person's diet process into an enjoyable healthy eating process through strong communication with their specialist increases their motivation. Being determined and applying psychodiet techniques are also useful. Ask about some of the reasons underlying the urge to eat. Its application and solution largely prevent emotional eating attacks. Popular diets, newspaper diets and starvation diets can both negatively affect a person's health and deal a blow to his diet motivation. Discussing your life with your dietitian and preparing a diet program that you can easily follow
will not reduce your motivation. You can diet with motivation and enthusiasm until you reach your ideal weight. Our eating habits are very much related to motivation and psychology. Dietary motivation helps us a lot to reach the ideal weight we aim for. So, is this a real healthy
goal? The ideal weight is determined in the light of certain standard data according to the person's gender, age, height, fat weight, and health status. If you set unrealistic
weight loss goals, you may have difficulty in achieving them and may be negatively affected by great disappointment if they are not achieved.
Am I at the Ideal Weight?
Body Mass Index ( BMI) is a simple index that can measure whether you are overweight or at your ideal weight
. You can apply this to yourself, too. Just divide your weight by the square of your height. For example, let's calculate the BMI
of a 26-year-old female individual whose height is 1.60 cm and weight is 75 kg.
BMI: 75/160*160: 29.2 KG/M2 (OVERWEIGHT)
/> Classification of weight according to BMI Values
Classification BMI(kg/m2)
Underweight <18.5
Normal limits 18.5-24.5
Obese 25-39.9
Morbidly obese >40
At all ages, we should try to keep our weight within ideal weight limits to protect ourselves from chronic disease risks. Our weight loss goals should be realistic and ideally timed. Making a balanced diet a lifestyle during the weight loss process should be the main goal in permanent weight loss. Especially people with a sedentary lifestyle have a very high risk of obesity, so daily calorie intake should be under control. We should definitely include active living and regular exercise in our daily lives. We must get used to it. Refined flour and sugar should be reduced as much as possible.
