Looking For The Best Way Of Losing Weight?

So, you are looking for the best way of losing weight? I'll try to answer your question today. This is a story about my own journey as I also lost about 15kgs in the past year or so. Everything I'm going to tell you today is from my own experience. Follow them strictly and you'll lose weight in no time.

I'll start this article by saying that I'm a Physiology student. So:


I know about nutrition and other related things. Don't even try to follow any steps or procedures from a random website on the internet. Their methods will help you reduce weight but you'll lose protein also. Protein is one of the most important elements for maintaining the human body's internal milieu.

Have to lose fat then?

So, you should lose fat to lose weight, right? That's another wrong conception. I mean, you have to lose fat to lose weight but fat is also essential for human body. The cell membrane is made up of lipids and protein. Fats:


They are nothing but a subset of lipid. So loosing too much fat can badly affect the exchange of various things (like nutrients) between blood and cell. So what should you do to lose weight then? Don't worry, I've got you covered. Let's do some math first.

• 1gm of fat = 9 calories. (Approximate)
• 1gm of protein = 4 calories. (Approximate)
• 1gm of carbohydrate = 4 calories. (Approximate)

Excess weight is mainly stored as fat in our body. So if you have to lose 1kg of fat, you need to burn approximately:

1000gm * 9 = 9000 calories.

This is also an absurd equation used by every random nutrition-related website over the internet. Your body is not an idiot. Actually, it is smarter than you think. Confused?

As you start to lose weight, your body becomes aware of that and slows down your metabolism. The decreased metabolism will also decrease the rate of your weight loss. So, you need to uptake lesser and lesser calories to lose weight at the previous rate.

Cold water

Drink lots of water. Drink cold water if possible. Cold water acts as a negative-calorie food. Your body will have to produce heat to bring the cold water down to normal temperature. In the process to generate heat, your body will utilise nutrients. This is a small but effective way to lose fat.

No Carbohydrates, please

If you're serious about dieting, make carbohydrates a no-go in your daily routine. If you eat a lot of carbohydrates, your body will simply convert the carbohydrate into:

Ah! You guessed it, lipids. So if you really wanna go on a diet, go on a protein diet. Some commonly consumed foods that contain a lot of carbohydrates are listed below -

• Rice.
• Puffed rice.
• Potatoes.
• Sugar
• Fruit Juice. Eat direct fruit instead.
• Ice-creams.
• Bread.
• Cold drinks.

Commonly consumed foods that are rich in proteins are listed below -

• Egg white.
• Chicken.
• Pork.
• Most vegetables.

Good cholesterol, bad cholesterol

Another term that is being overused to fool the general public. There's no such thing as good or bad cholesterol. It is either good lipid or bad lipid. Lipids act as carriers of cholesterol in the blood. Cholesterol with "High Density Lipoprotein (HDL)" as its carrier:

Can move rapidly and doesn't cause any problem. Cholesterol with "Low or Very Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL or VLDL)" as its carrier, can't move quickly and causes blockage of arteries and veins. As a result, atherosclerosis is developed and the person suffers from a heart attack. A certain ratio should always be maintained. Some HDL containing foods are -

• Fatty fish like Sardine and Salmon. (Good source of essential fatty acids)
• Beans and legumes.
• Nuts.

The role of dietary fibre -

Dietary fibre (also known as roughage) is that part of plant food human body can't digest. Dietary fibre creates filling of a fulfilment of the stomach. This, in turn, minimises your desire to further eat any food. And that's how you consume fewer calories. Dietary fibre also helps in mass peristalsis and bulk formation - both of which help in the formation of stool and thereby preventing constipation as well. Some common food items which contain dietary fibre are -

• Guava. (Not an apple but a guava a day keeps the doctor away)
• Legumes.
• Wheat.
• Barley.
• Oat.

Sleep well

You'll lose fat if you sleep less. This is also a misconception. Growth hormone (Somatotropin) is produced while we're sleeping. Growth hormone helps to burn fat. So, sleep as per your body's requirement.

Exercise

You don't have any time to go outside to run or do other exercises. That's absolutely fine you know. Just buy a skipping rope and do skipping for just 5-10 minutes a day. Your pace will generally increase over time and you'll burn a lot more fat.

Junk Food

Seriously? Are you expecting me to say anything regarding this segment? Stop eating junk foods even if don't wanna lose weight.

Challenges you'll face while losing weight rapidly

• You'll feel less energetic throughout the day.
• You may have constipation.
• Formation of gallstones - this is a serious one.
• Dizziness.
• Irregularities in the menstrual cycle.
