Browsing: Weight Loss

the question of how to eat less is tantamount to the question of how to eat fewer calories – and thus affect the maintenance of a stable weight or weight loss. Clearly, eating more frequently (as well as larger portion sizes) is associated with weight gain.

Statistics indicate that there is a relationship between a person’s waist circumference and the presence of visceral fat stores inside their abdomen. At increased risk are women with a waist circumference of more than 88 cm – as well as men with a waist of more than 102 cm.

If you want to turn fat into muscle, or, more precisely, lose weight and gain muscle mass, do not rush to spend long exhausting workouts in the gym. In fact, the body is not able to simultaneously work in the reserve mode and in the mode of energy expenditure.

Men know that during strength training you are constantly hungry – in this way, the body gives a signal that it needs additional energy. In this case, calories are used to restore muscle tissue and build muscle.

Losing weight is much easier than it seems. However, maintaining the achieved result and maintaining a stable weight is where the typical difficulty lies for many. Ultimately, a slim figure requires control over the food you eat and regular exercise.

Often, a large belly is a consequence of excessive nutrition combined with a sedentary lifestyle. That is, in order to remove this stomach, you will have to figure out exactly how much food you need to eat – as well as how much physical activity the body needs.

Studies show that using the wrong diet for weight loss increases the chance of developing obesity by 3 times (compared to teenagers who did not use diets). Also, children who have tried to lose weight are 6 times more likely to suffer from eating disorders in adulthood.

According to WHO, the prevalence of overweight and obesity among children and adolescents aged 5-19 has risen dramatically from just 4% in 1975 to just over 18% in 2016. Although excess fat is formed throughout the body, it is most noticeable in the abdomen – largely through the work of hormones responsible for storing excess carbohydrate energy.

According to the World Health Organization, nearly 1 in 3 adults (30.7%) are overweight. More than 2 in 5 adults (42.4%) have obesity. About 1 in 11 adults (9.2%) have severe obesity. However, obesity is not only an aesthetic problem but also a health risk.

The main reason for gaining excess weight in both men and women is bad nutrition combined with a sedentary lifestyle. Hormone levels also play a role – for example, high cortisol increases cravings for fast carbohydrates, while accelerating the accumulation of fat in the abdomen.
