How to eat healthy, loose weight, and live with weight loss: 10 tips

Tip 1: Find out how many calories your body need

To find out how many calories your body needs in order to loose weight, you must use a formula system called BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate).

The formula is

For Example,  if your weight is 140 lb and you set aside 20 mins of moderate activity every day.

BMR would = (140 x 15) + (20 x 3.5) = 2100 + 70 = 2170 kcal. BMR minus 500kcal; it would be 2170 – 500 = 1670 kcal.

Therefore, 1670 kc would be is the target for losing 1 lb per week.

Tip 2: Eat a  minimum of five portions of fruits and vegetables per day

Vegetables and fruits are packed with vitamins, minerals, terpenes and antioxidants. The fiber will keep you while consuming calories at a low rate. If you do not like your fruits or vegetables raw, you can try them cooked, pickled, freeze-dried, or preserved.

Tip 3: Keep an eye on how big your portion sizes really are.

First of all, everyone’s stomach sizes, and thus portion measurements, are different. Unless it says so on the label of prepared foods or other foods for baking, use your own portion sizes.

It is important to check the nutrition label in order to get an idea of how much a serving really is.

Tip 4: Frequent smaller meals better than a few larger meals.

Eating  smaller meals more frequently helps to keep your calorie intake and blood sugar levels balanced.

Instead of eating three meals, try eating five to six smaller meals throughout the day.

Tip 5: Eat fresh foods and minimize processed foods.

Processed food is very harmful to health due to the large amount of preservatives, artificial sweeteners and GMO’s, and is furthermore high in calories.

Tip 6: Don’t be overly-restrictive

It doesn’t have to be all or nothing.  It is ok to indulge yourself, but only on special occasions or holidays, but certainly not on a regular basis. One example is alcohol. Having 1/2 glass of red wine may help clear your arteries. Another great example of this phenomena is chocolate – eating one tablespoon per week is said to elongate lifespan. Giving up treats altogether suddenly can cause withdrawals and may cause an early relapse. And don’t beat yourself up for setting a rule you could’nt keep. Face yourself and deal with your cravings intelligently.

Tip 7: Don’t just read the labels – understand them.

Labels often claim to say ‘fat free’ or ‘low in fat’, but in fact, are jam packed with calories.

Furthermore, labels can spell “low in sugar” or “low in carbs”, but it doesn’t necessarily mean that its low in fat or calories.

Tip 8: Keep an eye on what you’re drinking.

Soda isn’t the only beverage that is full of fat, sugar and calories.

Juices, coffee and tea should also be add to the restricted list and will take their toll on your body if you drink too much.

It is preferable to drink eight glasses of water daily. It will quench your thirst and make you feel full.

Drinking lots of water upon arising each morning will also help move waste out through the bowels.

Tip 9: Keep a food Diary
Keeping a food diary assist you in discovering and evaluating your eating habits and patterns. Record allergies, side effects and load limits if necessary.

Have a registered dietician review your food diary.

Tip 10: Exercise on a regular basis.
