Calorie Restriction Diets
October 14, 2008
Success in weight loss program depends on the control in the calorie management. Calorie intake and burning differs from person to person based on their living lifestyle and the nature of work. It is a myth in weight loss plans that the results can be obtained quickly if the calorie intake is reduced drastically. But people forget the negative impacts of such myths. Calorie management in a healthy diet for a weight loss or weight gain program has to be well balanced with their nature.
For weight loss programs, the calorie intake is restricted based on the calorie burn by the person. For an active individual, the calorie intake may vary from 1500 to 3000 calories per day. The calories count should be calculated from every type of food and beverages taken in by the individual through out the day.
People having motives to attain success in weight loss programs should keep a watch on the calorie intake. The diet should be well balanced with proper proportion of proteins and carbohydrates. Proteins and simple carbs are easy to digest and hence to be taken in larger quantity. These substances will help in the muscle growth and supply the required energy for the normal function of the body.
Fat has the lengthiest structure and is very rich in calories. One gram of fat is measured to have nine to ten calories. The lengthy structure of the fat molecules takes longer time for digestion. If the fat is continuously supplied to the body, the digestion of the already consumed fat is interrupted and the excess fat goes into the fat storage in the body. This is the main reason for obesity and weight gain for many people.
Aerated drinks like cola, beer etc… are high in empty calories. These empty calories are not used for the regular activities by an individual in a day. These calories can be burnt on when hardcore exercises are done regularly by the individual. So the foods with such empty calories are not suggested to be taken regularly.
To make the weight loss program successful, you will need to keep a watch on the calorie intake in every food item taken in a day. Avoid the high calorie content foods and you can substitute them with easily digestible low calorie foods like fresh fruits and vegetables.
