Fat we are done by fats. No, wait a moment our enemy is carbohydrates… Actually in that, as to our weight, all solve calories! And to relieve yourself of superfluous kilograms, you need to burn simply more calories, than you have used. But in the course of time this simple true somewhere has evaporated – and can because we began eat much more calorie food?
Women consume now on 22 % of more calories, than in 1971, it turns out about 1877 calories in a day. At first sight this figure is quite reasonable, but do not forget – only 19 % of adult population conduct an active way of life. And it means that only very much few of women burn enough calories to “justify” those big portions which they eat. The majority burns much less, than consume. Therefore, when you reflect over that, how many calories in day you could allow yourselves, keep in mind – having refused from 100 kcal a day, you will rescue yourselves from the whole 2,5-4 kg of “overweight”!
That is why, dieticians confirm, 40-year-old women now on the average on 10 kg became heavier, than in 1960th years. What is exit? The unique way to keep ideal weight is a control over caloric content of food.
Learn, how many calories you consume. You do not need to turn to the walking calculator! It is enough to have general idea about that, how many you eat every day. Is better to write down one-two day all successively, including snacks. Having looked at an overall picture, you will see at once, where present basic of superfluous calories. And then it is possible to make easily and imperceptibly substitution and to leave behind a board these calories, without having offered thus taste or pleasure. For example, replace handful salty pretzels with 3 cups of popcorn (strew 1 table spoon of grated parmesan – and it is tasty, and it is useful). So you will save 115 kcal, and thus your portion will treble, and the dish will be much juicier.
Correctly read labels. The information on power value on packing is given counting on one portion (sometimes on 100). Do not forget to compare it to that, how many you really eat or drink – in many packing contain 2 portions and even more. For example, on a bottle of sweet aerated water in 600 g caloric content is specified: 110 kcal for the portion. But in the bottle of 2,5 portions! Drink all drink at once – and you will get drunk on 275 kcal! And it is almost 20 % from daily requirement for calories for the majority of women.
So, if you want to get thin, you should calculate calories and it will help you to loose some kilograms. Of course if you do everything correctly!
