What to Eat to Lose Weight
|
The common wisdom about weight loss has always been to eat less and less. You may lose some weight, but along with feeling terrible, you have no energy to exercise (if you’re getting any). So you loose muscle and get flabby, not fit or toned. Well, that’s not very attractive. |

It can just mean avoiding or limiting one or more foods high in calories from fat (such as high-fat meat, cheese, or snack foods, or too much added fat), lots of sugar (like sweets or sweetened drinks), or alcohol. |

The trouble with most high-protein diets is that they eliminate most carbohydrates. That’s fine if you’re a couch potato, but if you’d rather be moving around and keeping your heart pumping at full tilt, zero carbs means no fuel. You must get too hungry and too fatigued to exercise at any level other then first gear. |

Water: Drink plenty to avoid dehydration Your body uses the water in your blood to carry nutrients such as sugar (glucose) to cells and to remove waste products from the cells. The presence of water in your body ensures that you can safely sustain physical activity. As you exercise, your body produces heat. This heat leaves your body as you perspire, taking with it electrolytes — elements, such as potassium, calcium, sodium and chlorine. If you don’t replace the fluid you lose during exercise, your heart rate increases and your temperature rises, putting you at risk of dehydration as well as compromising your workout. |
