The only reason for excess weight is not excessive calorie intake or a sedentary life. Even if we lead an active life by trying to eat a low-calorie diet, our efforts to lose weight or control our weight may be in vain if we do not consume our meals in full and on time. Skipping meals is the most harmful action that can be done at this point. Don't starve your body. I always say that the important thing is not to lose weight, but to lose fat. Unfortunately, in long-term fasting, we only observe muscle and water loss, and this is not a desired result. Metabolic hunger is not like stomach hunger, so for the metabolism to work well, we need to eat little and often. Main meals such as breakfast, lunch and dinner and small snacks should be consumed 2-2.5 hours after each main meal.
FREQUENTLY CONSUME LIGHT PRODUCTS WITH THE THOUGHT THAT THEY WILL NOT MAKE WEIGHT GAIN
All foods consumed should be consumed. It should not be forgotten that light products also have calories. Although light products have fewer calories than other foods, consuming them without paying attention to the amount can cause weight gain. And unfortunately, if we consume light products, never examining their contents is actually one of the biggest mistakes we make. Because most of the ready-packaged products, even light ones, contain sugar. Therefore, we cannot consume these products unlimitedly, we need to adjust their portion control.
APPLYING OTHERS' DIET
The person's diet list; It varies depending on your "health" status, criteria such as height, weight, age, eating habits, economic level, and activity level. In addition, the diet list needs to be updated individually, that is, "followed up". Unfortunately, the diet lists given in many places such as the internet are programs with serious energy, vitamin and mineral restrictions. Many of the people who are on these diets, which cause various problems in metabolism, manage to lose weight, but because they lose that weight from water, they regain the weight they lost. Remember that diet is individual. Someone else's diet is not suitable for you.
CONSUMING TEA AND COFFEE INSTEAD OF WATER
We consume a lot of liquids during the day, especially when we are at work, let alone coffee and tea... What a summer. We think that consuming tea and coffee replaces water, but it is actually wrong. Contrary to popular belief, tea and coffee absorb the water in our body and cause edema. Consuming the required amount of water prevents edema in the body. Not consuming enough water, which is necessary for digestive enzymes to work, slows down both the digestive system and metabolism. Less daily water consumption than required and excessive tea or coffee consumption are among the factors that dehydrate the body, slow down the metabolism and cause bloating, i.e. edema. That's why, when we want to drink something, let's first turn to water, not tea or coffee.
NOT CONSUMING CARBOHYDRATES
Most people start their diet by saying that they don't eat bread anyway, but it should not be forgotten that our body needs both carbohydrates and fat. It also needs protein. Not consuming any of these and sticking to a single type of nutrition would not be good for us. And contrary to popular belief, bread is the best quality carbohydrate source for us. Do not exclude bread from your diet in the portions given by your dietician. Of course, we must be careful that these breads do not contain white flour.
