Many people think that if they consume the same number of calories they burn, they will lose weight. However, this will only help you maintain your current weight, not reduce it. If you believe you can exercise excessively and still eat whatever and however much you want, you’re in for a surprise!
To achieve healthy fat loss, you need a calorie deficit. This means controlling your portions and following a proper exercise routine to burn fat. But it’s not just about the calories; it’s about the quality of those calories. Your diet needs to be rich in nutrients.
For example, consider how different 200 calories can be:
– Two rotis
– A bowl of rice and a bowl of dal
– A cupcake
– A dollop of mayonnaise
– Two whole eggs and an egg white
– A large bowl of cut fruits
– A glass of cow milk
If you don’t pay attention to the nutrients in the calories you consume, you’ll end up with short-term weight loss, primarily losing muscle and water instead of fat.
So, make wise choices about what you eat. Focus on the nutrients, not just the calories. This is the true path to a healthier you!
