Fat Loss Tips For Women

12/4/2015 0 Comments

Should you Reduce Calories when you Exercise, or Eat more ?

Picture

​Some people think that the best way to lose weight is to combine dieting with a vigorous exercise routine. Yes, you will get results in no time at all with this type of regimen, but will it provide long-term results? First, and foremost, our body needs protein, carbs, and fat in order to build itself and to address the daily needs of thebody for energy. How would you feel if you have to work hard all day and then get home with nothing but rice and a few pieces of meat? Do you think you can survive until the next day?
If you want to lose weight without having to sacrifice your body’s well-being, you will need to adapt new strategies which are not being preached by a lot of fitness trainers today – eat more. Common sense would dictate that if you are going to do a lot of physical activity, you will need more sources of energy which equates to more food. But this does not mean that you have to pig-out either. You still have to be selective of what you eat. 
  • Protein – The recommended intake for a person who is doing an average form of physical activity is 1 gram per pound of weight, and this will increase when more vigorous exercises are being taken. Protein is important for building and maintaining the body and is also a great factor in weight-loss – it helps to burn fat in the body due to its thermal properties.
  • Carbohydrates – Don’t say no to carbs unless you want your body to dry out and have no energy source at all. Carbohydrates are an important carrier of hydration to the body at its cellular level aside from providing it with the energy that it needs to carry out its functions. Make sure that you are eating unprocessed and unrefined carbohydrates if you want to get the maximum nutrients out of them.
  • Fats – Fats are not all bad; there is what you call “healthy fats” and they come in natural form in almost all types of natural food. Fats in meat and milk can actually aid in the absorption of the nutrients that they contain and also control cholesterol levels in the body. 

So the answer to the question of whether we should reduce the calories in our diet when we are on a regular exercise routine is, NO ! Your body’s nutritional needs increase as heavier stress is placed on it by physical exercise. Without an adequate supply, your body will eventually breakdown in the long term.
