Everyone wants to have a suppler and slimmer body. In order to do this, we need to exercise or follow a low-calorie diet.
What is the ideal amount of food that we should consume daily in order to lose or maintain weight?
Food intake is one big contributory factor in weight loss, but we should also consider many other factors like the person’s rate of metabolism (how fast can he burn fat), current weight, lifestyle, and health condition.
The food that we eat are broken down into calories and stored in the body in the form of fat. If we consume foods that are rich in fats, sodium, sugar, and carbohydrates, chances are we’ll have more fats stored in our bodies than what is desirable. In order to prevent fat build-up, we should follow a very low-calorie diet.
How many calories should you consume in a day?
A healthy amount would be about 800 to 1000 calories. This is mostly done by replacing meals with healthy drinks, protein shakes, fruits, and snacks.
For example, one serving of broccoli is only about 30 in caloric content, while pasta is about 330. Obviously, you will eat broccoli in this case.
This plan encourages a person to have a lot of fruit juices, water, and soups to replenish lost fluids. These are also good sources of energy.
For example, lemon juice can perk you up anytime. It is a good cleansing agent if taken in with warm water in the morning. This is the same for orange juice which is a common choice of drink in the morning.
If we strictly follow the prescribed food intake and the recommended exercise regimen, there is a high possibility than we will lose weight and build a toned physique.
