To lose fat and stay healthy, it is important to know that whether we gain or lose body fat depends on our caloric intake and output. I believe that to lose fat, we need to cut our caloric intake. It is important to eat well to not only lose fat, but to stay healthy as well. Staying healthy is the most important thing in our life. So it is very important that the calories we eat should not all come from the same source. We need a combination of Carbohydrates, Protein and Fat in the right proportion, as they serve different function in our body.
The Do's and Don't of what to eat
(1) We need to eat food that is high in complex carbohydrates and fibre. Carbohydrates are an essential source of energy, especially when we do both cardiovascular exercise like running as well as when we are doing weight training. In short we need carbohydrates to engage in all kinds of exercise. When your body has depleted its store of carbohydrates, physical performance is compromised. Some examples of high complex carbohydrates are things like vegetables, whole grain and fruits. Wholemeal bread and polished rice are very good example of whole grain that is a very good form of complex carbohydrates. However let also remember not all carbohydrates are created equal. A diet that is high in simple carbohydrates can disrupt your metabolism of fat and can also cause an increase in body fat. Simple carbohydrates are things like white rice, white bread, cakes, and soft drinks. Simple carbohydrates should be consumed in lower amount.
