How to trol oity

For most people who are oe, the safest and most effece way to loose weight is to eat less and exercise more. body normally maains a balance between caloric ake and caloric expenditure. However, when this balance is upset, a loss or gain in weight will result. refore, both weight losses and weight gains are largely dependent on dietary ake and habitual physical acity.

Physical acity includes walking, jogging, swimming, cycling, aerobics or any other household acities cleaning, washing, climbing stairs etc. Incring physical acity alone is not an y way to loose weight unless one combines it with a reduon of fat ake. By decring daily calorie ake by 500 calories or expending an extra 500 calories during exercise each day, one will loose about 1 pound a week.

Physical acity along with a healthy diet plays an important role in the prevention of overweight and oity. In order to maain a stable weight, a person needs to expend the same amount of calories as he/she sumes. Although the body burns calories for everyday funons such as in breathing, walking or daily acities, many people sume more calories than what they need. refore, a good way to burn off extra calories and prevent weight gain is to engage in regular physical acity beyond your routine works.

In order to maain your weight, calories sumed should be equal to calories used. When calories sumed are more than calories used, it results in weight gain. t way of keeping a good trol on your dietary ake is to keep a daily diary and writing down whatever you eat. In this case, you can sult a dietician who can provide you a diet chart. Avoid high oil tent in your daily meal and try to avoid a sedentary lifestyle.
Even simple mures such as taking the stairs instead of elevator and short walks can burn a lot of calories.
