Fats
Everyone knows that too much fat is a bad thing. While certain fats are very good for us, many people on low carb diets are getting too much of the bad fats, i.e. animal
fats. It is a shame that people are so concerned with losing weight that they lose sight of the fact that their wonder diet may actually be doing their body harm.
Approaching losing weight with an attitude of health and longevity is the secret to dieting success.
Calorie counting can be a great way to learn how many calories you are consuming each day compared to how many you are using. If you consume more than you use, you will gain weight. However, this type of dieting can be done to the extreme as well which is unhealthy. Make sure you discuss what range of calories you should be consuming each day to make sure you’re getting the recommended amounts.
Calorie counting can actually be detrimental to your diet. If you find yourself constantly hungry your body is probably in starvation mode. This means that your metabolism slows down and any calories consumed are stored as fat. Not exactly what you want to have happen. Be sure to eat a wide variety of food and get the required calories so that you’re losing weight in a healthy way.
Talking to your doctor is the best way to diet and lose weight. He or she can give you a recommended plan, or even put you in touch with a nutritionist who can help you look at your current eating habits and how to change them.
