Weight loss (slimming)

 

The fashion of diets never sets and we often find ourselves dealing with people who want to do everything to lose the extra pounds, even deciding to compromise that can be dangerous for health itself.

 

Knowing the body composition in terms of fat mass, lean mass, fluids, visceral fat, etc ... and knowing what are the ranges within which a healthy individual must stay, allows you to understand HOW MUCH and IF a person should lose weight. But to estimate the energy requirement various variables come into play to be taken into consideration: age, sex, basal metabolism, "adaptive" thermogenesis, the thermal effect of the diet, the type of work performed, any pathological states and physical activity performed.

 

Establishingand identifying the parameters mentioned above is not easy and not everyone can do it therefore if you decide to start a dietary protocol it is necessary to rely on competent and qualified people in order not to make mistakes that can be counterproductive to health.

 

What does adopting a diet entail?

When deciding to undertake a dietary protocol one must take into consideration the fact that lifestyle changes will be made; however, they must not be such as to upset the way of conceiving nutrition. It is not good that incorrect messages are passed on on the concept of "low calorie diet" or on what is the "right" diet that makes you lose weight!

 

It is not correct to think that losing many kilos quickly is the right approach as with this practice the basal metabolic rate is drastically reduced. This means that if you go back to eating a little more you will gain weight faster and it will be more difficult to lose the regained pounds.

 

On the other hand, a gradual weight loss involves the body's ability to detoxify physiologically as well as establishing a correct eating style which will result in a lower chance of regaining weight.

 

A great help in obtaining the desired results could be provided by physical activity. Attending a course in a gym or playing a sport will help you increase your metabolism by allowing a reduction in fat in favor of the development of muscle mass and at the same time help improve the health of the cardiovascular system and other systems involved in the complex physiological balance bodily.
