How To Keep Your Figure After Diet?

Well known fact is that with holding the weight after finishing a diet 10% of people succeed in the first year, and in the second year even less-5%.  Every third woman returns not only the lost weight, but 50% above. Are all efforts in vain? Or it is still possible to preserve such hard-earned figure forever?

Regaining weight is an indication that the process of reducing has been organized incorrectly!


The main problem is that the majority of people perceive incorrectly the attenuation and normalization of weight. Figuratively speaking, starting a diet or choosing a system of eating, for those who want to lose weight is like participating in sprint running-the main thing is to reach the finish line. In practice, losing weight is a long lifetime marathon. It is not very difficult to remove excess weight with properly selected diet and exercise, but it is very difficult then to maintain a stable result.

The most common mistake is immediately after a diet to get back to our previous lifestyle and nutrition, to our old habits, to give up the sport, and  caught up on everything that we have been banned before. In this mode the pounds come back with escape velocity.

You need to stick to the chosen course and beyond. To maintain a proper diet we should gradually increase the calorific value of the daily menu with 2/5. This is a lot more and you will not have to starve.

The body adjusts regulatory mechanisms to a new level of body weight after 46 days, and new habits are formed for 8 weeks. During this period, a return to old habits or dietary excesses liquidate the result of all your efforts. That's why the short term diets are so ineffective in the long term. They help mechanical losing weight at the expense of the water content of the body, of its carbohydrate reserves, proteins from the muscles and internal organs, but not contribute to the change in lifestyle and thinking. With working on your body should not be forgotten and the work on the brain. The main task of the person who wants to not only lose weight, but also to keep score is learning how to make the right decisions, to choose what will be beneficial not only for appearance, but also for health. Selecting the best and most useful should become automatic activity.

When giving up the old habits in our lives a gap is formed. That's why it is so hard to kick it and start permanently eat right and exercise. It is psychologically difficult task. Replace old habits with new, more useful. Do it consistently and gradually until the new lifestyle replace the old one. Do not try to suddenly start a new diet and sport-it's a great stress on the body. Start with just one thing in a few days add another change. The slower the change in your weight, the result is more durable. A regular exercise consistent with  average intensity, age and health,  is necessary during the weight loss and then. The more muscle you have, the more energy they use, even at rest, not only during exercise. By giving up the sport you will start to spend a lot less energy and the risk to regain  your former weight increases several times.

Twelve Dangerous Myths About Healthy Weight Loss

Today, the Internet is full of diets. Most of them are written by competent people other-from the laity, so some are good, but there are dangerous too. Do not believe them blindly as meaningful and true they look for you. If it was that simple to maintain a harmonious figure, there would be no dieticians and fitness instructors. Word diet means deprivation of a certain type of food so it cannot be healthy. That's why there is a difference between diet and food plan. To build up a correct food plan the age, gender and lifestyle are in matter. It should be assessed how much energy a person consumes, what sport and how many times in a week he or she trains. We all know that without the essential nutrients (carbohydrates, fats and proteins) the body cannot function properly. When our body do not accept any of them, the metabolism slows down, so often as a result of some diets you are gaining weight and the "yo-yo" effect occurs.

Major mistakes in feeding, in which we believe:


Don't eat after 19.00

This is not true because slowing metabolism is the basis of weight gain. When disturbed, the body cannot break down all the food and it starts to form fatty deposits. In women, they are usually in breeches, buttocks, abdomen because of the presence of estrogen. The most problematic area for men is their belly. To speed up your metabolism, you need to eat less and more often. It has been shown that it is best to eat five times a day, at intervals of about three hours. Indeed, after 19.00 you should not eat carbs, but do not starve.
Vegetable diet makes the muscles

Vegetables are really among the foods that are rich in fiber. It is mandatory to take vegetables, but you do not have to eat only that. You will lose weight, your brain will go hungry because there will be no presence of carbohydrates and fats needed to build the membrane of new cells. The absence of a protein makes the organism consumes itself. So if you eat only vegetables, adverse conditions will occur.

Lose weight with fruit diet

Yes, if we eat only fruit we will lose weight, but will we spend fat too? The fruits are sugars, and fast sugars indeed, which raise insulin levels in the blood, and when it is high, burning fats is impossible. There are cases when this fruit diet can be done in one day of discharge when you will eat only fruit, but if it is discussed with a specialist first. For people with huge excess weight who have high blood sugar, it is dangerous to eat only fruit even for one day because their sugar will rise further.

Dairy products are rich in proteins and fats

If we only accept dairy foods again we are denying the other useful substances for the body. The consequences are the same as if you eat only fruits or only vegetables. Especially women who want to lose weight should avoid any kind of dairy products because they contain lactose, which increases the level of estrogen-the cause of obesity. Not accidentally the protein is milk based, but with isolated lactose.

Separate eating

Do not deny this diet, the idea is that proteins, carbohydrates and fats cannot be absent from the menu, but should not be taken at once. In particular, this diet is useful for people with health problems, as it eases the liver. But againmust be consulted with a specialist to be built correctly.

Protein diet

In overuse of protein, meat crystallizes in the joints, resulting in damaging the entire digestive tract and the kidneys. The brain also remained without food, no fat. Cycle Kreps, whose main function is to serve as a final common pathway for the oxidation of carbohydrates, lipids and proteins does not work and therefore do not break down carbohydrates.

Diet without bread and bakery products

It is fact that we are accumulating weight from carbohydrates, but in any case they do not appear only in bakery products. They consist vitamin D needed for blood clotting and for the kidneys and heart, prevent muscle weakness and osteoporosis, increasing immunity, supporting thyroid function. Therefore, the bread should not be totally isolated from our menu.

Therapeutic starvation
Cancer cells feed on carbohydrates and 80% of diseases are caused by bad food. These are foods high in preservatives and nitrates. Truly hunger treat diseases, but fasting can be dangerous. If strictly not observe the particular power supply that is required when following a fast, this can result in poisoning of the body, and in more severe consequences. So do not do experiments and be under medical supervision during the fast .

Legends of physical exercises:

Sex losing weight

The fact is that when you feel good in your skin, libido increases. But in any case, sex is not gymnastics from which you can lose weight. If you lose weight with sex, all thin women should be nymphomaniacs, and all large ladies-frigid.

Only aerobic exercise is enough

Yes, running, swimming, elliptical use, etc. we will lose weight from that, but we will also get weaker. In aerobic exercise we start to burn fat after 40 minutes of training. How many people can run intensive for an hour? In the first 20-30 minutes you are throwing away the water and calories from the food taken during the day. Then, comes the fat, protein and thus degrades muscle mass. We cannot measure when and what we burn. There is no way to tie the muscles if you rely only on jogging. The same is true when we diet without exercise. Therefore, the optimal plan if we want tight ass and thighs is first to be loaded with weights to exhaust glycogen, which is an amino acid from the muscles and then get on the path to burn fat. I can give some advice to those who ride a bicycle or swim, go to the gym too.

Weights builds up muscle mass

Can be true or not, depends on what we want. Fitness is the only sport that shapes the body in our order. Women cannot gain muscle mass without additional supplements-steroids, etc. Female hormones do not allow making muscles. Making a minimum of 20 repetitions with weight is a proven method of action in women. In men, it is easy to get muscle with weights, but when the program is properly prepared by specialist.

Fitness fattening

When are not loaded enough, but simply pass on devices with low intensity and severity, the only thing we do is to tone the body and improve blood circulation, which increases our appetite. So do not wash your hands with gym if you eat more and not train properly.

Summary

Most people who visit the gym, want to do wonders with their body for a week or two. They use training in the gym as a pretext that endeavor. So before we go to sports or follow a diet we really need to realize the need to have a positive attitude to change. The perfect harmony is the relationship between the brain and body and we have to care for both. No man can be physically loaded or observe diet and didn't get the desired effect. There are people who simply don't want.

How To Eat Before And After Physical Exercise?

Introduction

You often wonder how to eat, when you exercise. More than once you feel too full to step into the gym or very hungry and exhausted during training. Good nutrition is important not only for the best shape, but also for good health. Therefore, it is better for you to familiarize yourself with the basic principles of nutrition before and after workouts. Not at last the proper nutrition depends on the efficiency of your physical exertion.



First you need to know what are the basic rules for training in the gym. Try not to exercise on an empty stomach. It is desirable for three or four hours before a workout to eat food, preferably with more carbohydrates than usual and one hour before the workout to have as a snack fruit or nuts. It is not recommended under any circumstances to eat heavy foods before training as meat or fish.

To have the mood for a workout, you can drink an espresso. Thirty minutes after the workout you have to provide a "window" for yourself to fully recover. Try immediately after your workout to eat something that contains protein, fat and carbohydrates. This can be whey protein, fruit or a handful of nuts, a piece of fish or dark chocolate with 85% cocoa.

Very important for those who want to lose weight is to eat so as to promote the burning of excess fat. For this to happen, it is important not to eat anything after a workout for 2-3 hours. Tired body will certainly need food, but your goal is to lose weight, and it occurs when the body burns its own reserves.

Eating after exercise is essential for building muscle, so if you want to purchase a decent relief, you should be familiar with the principles of nutrition.


Nutritional recommendations


To have relief and flexible body, a flat stomach and great self-esteem, try to stick to a high-protein diet containing plenty of fruits, vegetables and healthy fats. Try to eat in each meal fruits and vegetables with more fiber. These include broccoli, cauliflower and all kinds of green salads, including arugula and zucchini.

Each meal should contain high protein foods. Especially valuable are the proteins in meat fish and poultry, eggs, followed by dairy products. Eat more foods containing "good" (polyunsaturated) fats such as avocados, nuts (except peanuts), olive oil and other vegetable oils.

Try to eat at least three times a day, between meals do snacks. Disconnect the adoption of food consisting of carbohydrates, or a combination of carbohydrates and fats such as fresh pasta and chips. If you eat potatoes or rice, it is best their number to not exceed the amount of the meat portion.

When you exercise regularly, you should drink more water than usual. Very useful is to add lemon in the water.

Supplementation

Supplementation helps to achieve, the beautiful landscape of the body. Their inclusion in the diet has several purposes. First, with their help the body will use its reserves of fat as fuel for quality physical activity. Secondly, the increase in insulin sensitivity and the absorption of glucose leads to an improved synthesis of proteins and proper distribution of calories. And last, but not least-the release of toxins.

The use of dietary supplements during training can be done only after consultation with the instructor, nutritionist and doctor. The health expert is one who will indicate what supplements and how much you can take.

Proteins

These are complex protein molecules-the real source for muscle growth and recovery of the organism activity. Proteins in large amounts are found in meat, eggs, nuts, legumes and some varieties of cheese, milk and dairy products. But they are not enough. For example, a professional athlete needs for every pound of weight one to five grams of protein per day, while the portion of meat contains only 30. Clearly, this amount will be hard to obtain only from food. That is why protein shakes are fictitious. They allow to source more protein without taking unnecessary calories. This is due to the fact that they do not contain carbohydrate and fat .

For people who regularly go to the gym, the need for protein is less, but it is desirable dietary supplementation. The most popular are protein bars and drinks soluble powders that have a pleasant taste.

Zinc, magnesium and vitamin D3

If you do not get enough of these vitamins and minerals your attempts to achieve optimal body composition will not have the desired effect. Vitamin D3 accelerates the burning of body fat and helps for the production of enzymes involved in the fermentation process. It also suppresses appetite and improves insulin sensitivity.

Magnesium improves sleep quality and recovery of the body, reduces levels of the stress hormone-cortisol. Zinc, on its own turn, favorably influences the body's sensitivity to insulin, and the immune system.
