You must of heard that the world is getting fatter, that obesity is bad for your health and that quick fix diets do not work. So you might be wondering how how on earth do you control your weight. In this article you will discover the facts and the real science weight, weight loss and health. Despite claims to the contrary, calories do count and we only lose weight when we take in less than we consume or we burn more than we consume. On a day to day basis our weight fluctuates by a few pounds. You can see this for yourself when you weigh yourself in the morning then again at night. Itwill look like you have gained a few pounds or vice versa.. The real reason for this apparent. Change is largely due to fluid changes and is not due to body fat changes. In a nut shell it is called fluid loss. For instance when you cut your carbohydrate and calorie intake right back you are fooled by what seems to be a rapid weight loss in the first week. You use up your body's carb stores (glycogen) stores in the liver and muscles. Your glycogen is stored with water up to three times it's weight. These results are reversed when you eat a large meal thus refilling your glycogen stores. To obtain true weight change it has to happen over a long period of time. So to zap the fat and keep it off is a long term plan not a quick fix. Also to zap fat and keep it off involves sustained and concious changes to your usual eating habits and the amount of exercise you take. Food and drink make up the calories and nutrients you need to maintain health and be energetic. Your needs in terms of calories vary according to your height, weight, age, sex and activity levels. On average women need 2000 calories to stay in energy balance while men need about 2500 to stay in energy balance. The energy of .5kg of stored fat is 3500 calories. This means that if you are to lose .5kg a week. A 500 calorie deficit is needed each day. This can be achieved by taking in less calories, by being extremely active or by doing both. So, if you normally burn around 2300 calories a day. You will lose about a pound a week if you reduce your food intake by 1800 calories. If you also include a half an hour brisk walk each day you will zap the fat and keep it off and lose just over a pound a week. When you lose weight it is important that you do it in a healthy way. So in order to zap the fat and keep it off you should get all the nutrients you need. and improve our body composition with activity.
