Fat Loss
There are a number of things to consider which will help make your weight loss program easier and quicker including; the time of day you eat, how often, what you eat and of course the physical activity and intensity you chose in your workouts. To keep things simple it’s easier to remember that one pound lost per week is the equivalent to about 3,500 calories which breaks down to losing 500 calories a day, every day whether through dieting, exercise or both. Too many people are consuming large amounts of unhealthy food because they enjoy eating but there is no need to force-feed yourself just because you enjoy certain foods. It doesn’t have to mean you can never have your favorites, just be reasonable about how much and how often you allow yourself to indulge in them. The major problem with most diets is the fact that you often feel hungry after meals. If your belly is going to rumble just minutes after dinner, chances are you are going to go for a second helping or cheat and eat something you shouldn't. However, what if you could follow a diet plan that totally satisfies your hunger and keeps you feeling full until the next meal time? The key is the caloric density of the foods you eat. Caloric density refers to the number of calories existing in a certain measurement of food, usually by the gram. The lower the caloric density of a food is, the better it is for you. For example, an apple is approximately 0.53 calories per gram and fresh spinach has a figure of 0.23 while everyone's favorite pig part bacon is a whopping 5.5 calories per gram. You could eat ten times as many apples to equal the caloric density of one piece of bacon – yikes! You will eat a lot more on a diet plan filled with lower caloric density foods than you would with higher caloric density foods. For example, a small teaspoon of peanut butter is around 200 calories and has a caloric density of 5.8 while a bunch of grapes is also around 200 calories but has a caloric density of 0.68. That is quite a difference and as you can see, for the same number of calories, you will remain quite hungry after that pitiful amount of peanut butter but you would be satiated with the grapes. The bottom line is that vegetables, fruits, low-fat dairy, whole grains and lean meats and fish are what you need to fill your daily dietary plan to get the most out of your allotted amount of calories. You will feel full and feel less likely to cheat on your diet or go back for a second helping.
