Dieting
Tips
Most
health and fitness experts agree that it is unnecessary for those
seeking to lose or keep weight off to be purchasing so called diet
foods. What are ultimately the most important decisions any weight
conscious consumer can make, have to do with understanding what is in a
healthful diet in the first place. Once these basics are
understood, eating foods that are beneficial to health and weight loss
becomes a fun, delicious and natural process.
The
dieting tips below are well accepted basics from all health and
nutrition experts.
It is
absolutely essential to long term dieting success that everyone wanting
to keep weight off follow these basic guidelines.
1)
Eat a variety of foods to get the
energy, protein, vitamins, minerals, and fiber you need for good health.
2) Balance the food you eat with physical
activity - maintain or improve your weight to reduce your
chances of having high blood pressure, heart disease, a stroke, certain
cancers and the most common kind of diabetes.
3) Choose a diet with plenty of grain
products, vegetables, and fruits which provide needed
vitamins, minerals, fiber, and complex carbohydrates, and can help you
lower your intake of fat.
4) Choose a diet low in fat, saturated
fat, and cholesterol to reduce your risk of heart attack and
certain types of cancer and to help you maintain a healthy weight.
Choose a diet moderate in sugars. A diet with lots of sugars has
too many calories and too few nutrients for most people and can
contribute to tooth decay.
5) Choose a diet moderate in salt and
sodium to help reduce your risk of high blood pressure.
6) If you drink alcoholic beverages, do
so in moderation. Alcoholic beverages supply
calories, but few or no nutrients. Drinking alcohol is also the
cause of many health problems and accidents and can lead to addiction.
