Nutrition is not complicated, but it is not straightforward. People who hop onto a diet or nutrition plan, they think that eating less than what they were eating will help them lose weight. They don't understand that eating less will make them deficient in important vitamins and minerals, which will eventually make them weak in the long run, and they will end up in hospitals.
I have been insisting on the fact that eating less is not equal to eating right. You will have to understand what builds our muscles and body, and then do a body recomposition to lose weight. And the only one who can help you do this is a certified nutritionist or Health and Wellness Coach.
Your doctors might be able to prescribe you medicines, but they cannot guide you with a proper diet and nutrition. You will have to consult a Health and Wellness coach to understand terms like TDEE, BMI, and how certain food items affectr your overall structure of your body.
This is one of the biggest misconceptions when starting a new exercise routine. I have seen many people eating more after joining a Zumba class or gym. This indirectly affects their overall weight loss plan, and they end up gaining more weight than they were already on.
The best way to lose weight is to eat right, increase protein intake, and reduce fat intake. However, this can be achieved by carefully planning your meals, as you also need to ensure that you are getting all the necessary vitamins and minerals.
Alcohol kills metabolism for around 3 days.
If you have drunk alcohol today, then you will not be able to lose fat for the next three days, and this is reality.
Many people I have met can't stop drinking, and they would find some excuse to drink their beer or whiskey every single day, and they will say that they will not drink from tomorrow, but eventually they end up drinking more and more.
You will have to understand that if you are drinking tonight, you are not going to burn any fat for the next 3 days, and your hard work will just go in vain.
Also drinkng stops absorption of vitamins and minerals, because several vitamins are absorbed by the liver. So if you are regularly drinking and even taking your supplements or eating right, you will end up with osteoporosis because vitamins like vitamin D or C, etc., are not getting absorbed, and you end up with weak bones and a deficiency in nutrients.
The only best way to get ahead of your weight loss game is to eat right, not less, and connect with Health and Wellness Coach that will guide you exactly what you should eat, and you will start losing your weight even from week 1.
