Calories are a measure of the energy that comes from food once it’s inside the body. Losing, gaining, or staying at the same weight depends on how many calories you eat and how many calories your body uses over time.
If you eat more calories than you use, you’ll gain weight. If you eat fewer calories than you use, you’ll lose weight. But staying at a healthy weight is more than just calories in and calories out. It’s about making healthy food choices. Here are some tips for making your calories count.
Count Daily Calories
Try to limit your intake of processed foods. Processed food is any food that has been changed from its original, raw form. Processed foods often have high amounts of added sugars, salt, and unhealthy fats, such as saturated and trans fats.
Drink Beverages with Less Sugar, Fattening
You could be taking in quite a few calories from the beverages you have each day. Making better drink choices can help you reduce your calorie intake. If you replaced a daily 12-ounce can of soda with water, you could save 52,560 calories per year.
Eat Small Portions
Larger portions can make it easy to eat or drink too many calories. Larger helpings also can lead you to take in more saturated fat, sodium, and added sugars. You can learn how to manage portion size whether you’re at home or on the go.
Do More to Burn More
Physical activity can increase the number of calories your body uses for energy or burn off. Burning calories through physical activity and reducing the number of calories you eat can help with weight loss. Plus, exercise boosts endorphins, sometimes called the brain’s “feel-good” chemicals.
Nutricraft has three-step weight management in planning a realistic, healthy diet. The first step is to build a healthy kitchen by ditching toxic stuff and replacing it with non-toxic Titanium Cookware. The second step is to fill the grocery list with organic and nutritious condiments and ingredients.
The third step is adding more physical activities in the right pacing like walking in the neighbourhood, climbing the stairs, or watching a Zumba class online. There must be a balance between commitment and pleasure.
