As it is my first posting and my blog is on health so I decide to wright about “Weight loss Tips”
I ’ve found people share a common belief that the amount of energy eaten on a particular day minus the amount of energy burnt equals how much fat they lose. But my dear science isn’t that simple.
In my experience, people often apply this half-truth by skipping meals (usually breakfast) to try and reduce their total intake of food over a day. Unfortunately, this makes weight management almost impossible, as it causes the metabolism to slow down to prevent starvation. Eating like this actually stops you burning energy.
If you skip breakfast and eat your evening meal at around 7 or 8pm, the body has been without fuel for more than half the day – 7 or 8pm to lunchtime the next day is approx 17 hours or 70% of a 24-hour period. This means you actually eat most of your total energy intake in about 7 hours. During the 17 hours without food, your metabolism slows and your body shuts down many non-essential functions. When you do eventually eat, your body will store as much as it can to try and compensate for the starvation time. This starts a dangerous cycle of starve-store-starve, and results in more body fat and lower performance.
An alternative is to try and eat a third of your daily energy intake between waking and lunchtime – breakfast and morning tea. Get another third of sustenance between 12pm to 6pm – lunch and afternoon tea. And get your final third of daily energy intake between 6pm and bedtime – dinner and a supper-time snack. This is ideal.
And it all starts at the beginning of your day – just add breakfast. This increases your total energy intake but incredibly, you will likely lose weight. I have seen success from this simple change in eating habits in the blokes I am helping.
Note:- Michael Phelps winner of Gold medals in Olympics eat 4-5 times a day to stay fit.
