Those who cannot limit the amount of food they eat, but want to lose weight, need to speed up their metabolism so that stored energy is burned faster and does not turn into fat. About this “Public News Service” said doctor and TV presenter Alexander Myasnikov.
According to him, 75% of the body’s energy is spent on its functioning. The remaining 25% of the energy received goes to movement and other activities.
“It would seem, then why do we need to do so many sports? But here is another question. On average, 20-22 calories are spent to maintain 1 kg of weight. If you’re in for PE and you don’t throw anything away, let’s say 300 calories – it seems ridiculous, there’s the same amount in one sandwich. But by doing this, you will stimulate the body, and 25-27 calories per kilogram will be spent, not 20-22 calories. And it goes on for a long time, ”said the expert.
In order to maintain the metabolism, which decreases with age and complicates weight control, the person needs to do more physical activity. Also, according to him, hardening and proper nutrition can help in this case.
“If you limit calories to 600-700, or even 800, you slow your metabolism. Therefore, I recommend consuming no more than 1800 calories per day, but if you are losing weight – at least 1000 calories per day. This is the only way not to disrupt the metabolism, ”Myasnikov concluded.
Former nutritionist, nutritionist Alexandra Davydova saidThat the weight gained during the May holiday can be easily lost if you reduce the number of unhealthy foods in your diet and replace them with protein and vegetables.
