Tuesday, November 30th, 2010
Body mass index
  • Calories per day – minimum number of calories per day is calculated by sex and height in accordance with guidelines from the Institute of Medicine. When the Body Mass Index (BMI) is 25 or greater, the minimum is the amount of calories reduced by 15% to get food that is not too severe and can be maintained for years without any adverse effects by ordinary people with health. The number of calories may need to be increased depending on level of activity, but they increased more than 15% may not result in weight loss. To lose weight, you have to get the carbohydrates that are less than 60 grams per day (no more than 240 calories) are distributed throughout the day.
  • Gram of protein per day – This value is calculated from the normal maximum Body Mass Index (BMI), height, and your activity level. He was associated with 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram for low activity level, 1.1 grams for moderate activity, and 1.4 grams for vigorous activity. Other components of foods, including essential fatty acids and carbohydrates should be proportioned to provide the minimum calories per day. For men and women the same height with the requirements of caloric content is lower for women, but the same protein requirements for men and women. This means that, in general, women have a diet richer in protein than male diets. Every diet should always include at least the minimum amount of protein to prevent loss of muscle tissue when the amount of caloric intake is reduced. A typical high protein diet will acquire 30% of calories from protein, 30% from fat, and 40% from carbohydrates. A low-carbohydrate weight-loss diets are generally derived 25% calories from protein, 65% from fat, and 10% from carbohydrates. The table below shows that the percentage of providing more than the minimum protein requirement 2000 – and 1800-calorie diet.

Diet should always provide a sufficient amount of protein and essential fatty acids are important. The body requires at least 15 grams of essential fatty acids per day, which can be obtained by eating meat, fish, beans, and flax seed. Very low calorie diet (less than 1300 calories per day) should be avoided because the diet is usually not provide all the nutrients needed for good health.

In the form below to calculate the daily protein requirement, body mass index (BMI), waist to height ratio, and percentage body fat using the circumference at various body parts.

Weightloss pyramid.

Effect of diet or exercise program can only be monitored if you have accurate biometric data. This web page will help you calculate the Body Mass Index (BMI), waist to height ratio, percent body fat and lean body mass. You also get a daily estimate of your calorie and protein requirements based on the level of activity. You’ll want to record the measurements once per week to track your progress. If you store data in a spreadsheet (eg MS Excel), you will be able to make graphs to see trends more easily.

The number of calories in the food we eat and the amount of calories we use to determine whether we will lose weight or gain weight. Extra calories we consume are generally stored as fat in our body. To maintain a stable weight, the number of calories in our food should be equal to the number of calories you use through exercise, waste, body oil, or use for skin renewal, hair, nails, and other organ cells. To lose weight, we must consume fewer calories than our body needs so that we store body fat is used to meet the needs of our caloric servings. It is advisable to consult a doctor or dietitian before starting any diet, especially if you take any medications.

Chain form: space-filling model

Carbohydrates are not something to be feared. What is important, you need to know the types of carbohydrates are “safe” for consumption.

Which includes among other simplex carbohydrate sugar, palm sugar, and corn sugar. Foods that contain carbohydrates simplex, namely milk, candy, and cookies. Unlike the simplex carbohydrate, complex carbohydrate is digested and absorbed slowly, so that sugar levels rise slowly in the body.

This stage is usually the most severe felt while undergoing a weight loss program. But as our bodies become lighter then weight loss will take place more regularly.

“So do not be easily discouraged if the scale weight has not changed much. Because in fact, the closer we are to target the desired weight then the longer we have to meet with stagnant stage. “

  • Do not push yourself too much with the various rules of diet. Upon entering the week to 8 or 12, give the body a break from the diet for 7 days. “The goal is that we do not feel pressured by a different set of rules applied.” But Aragon reminded that break that we choose permanent make healthy food as an option.

This method according to Aragon will make us a little mental relaxation so that programs can run more enjoyable diet. , Assistant professor of nutrition from New York University, also suggested that we not only make the number scale as a measure the success of the diet program. “When we successfully entered the stage of a break by staying healthy eating, then do not be shy to appreciate themselves.
