How to Lose Weight Teens - Modern Teens Face More Than Hormonal Changes
Recommended Answer:
The logic behind losing body weight is something along the lines of this:
How much energy you consume and how much energy your body burns is crucial. Some people burn alot of energy through simple activites as they may have a fast metabolism or in some cases an EXTREMELY fast metabolism (hyperthyroidism). A reverse example of this can also occur (hypothyroidism). This is the reason why different people require different amount of calories however generally speaking the more you move the more you burn so the more you therefore need to maintain your current weight!
Eating carbohydrates can effect weight loss but not fat loss per se, the unhealthy type of carbohydrates found in white flour and pastries etc mainly changes your body weight as it causes you to hold onto more water and as a result can cause fluctuations in WATER weight, it is only when you eat more than your body needs that your body actually starts gaining fat regardless of what you eat which brings me back to my first point, calorie restriction is vital.
Carbohydrates will not keep you full for a long time as protein would however if you consume complex carbohydrates (wholegrain bread, potatos and bananas) they will digest slowly and will more likely be used up in that long time through physical activity rather than white, refined carbs which will quickly get stored as fat. If you consume complex carbohydrates they also contain fibre which is like a huge spring clean for your digestive system and pushes the food out of your bowels faster so it therefore gets rid of water weight which is the complete polar opposite of what white carbohydrates tend to do.
Proteins on the other hand are the building blocks of our body and we need them to stay strong and healthy so you must eat them, they keep you lean and will make sure you look good..trust me! :)
Generally speaking I balance out all my carbohydrates, have abit of junk food every day and plenty of protein but the main thing I do is count my calories to ensure its all within a limit, doing this I lost 21lb :)
- It''s not eliminating carbs that results in weight loss, its eliminating calories. A Calorie is a unit of measurement that we use to show how much energy out body gets out of a food. Our bodies all burn calories at different rates depending on what we do, but it is said on average that men around the ages of 18-25 burn roughly 2000 a day. That way, if you eat 1500 calories a day, your body needs to get 500 more calories from somewhere else. It gets these calories from from the energy it has stored up in your fat cells, which causes them to shrink, resulting in weight loss.
Your body needs carbs to live and function normally, and anyone who tells you otherwise doesn''t fully understand how the body processes them. You *can* cut them out and lose weight(as we have seen from people on the atkins fad diet), but it is not an overall healthy way to live your life.
The best way to lose weight is to both cut out the number of calories you ingest(to a reasonable amount, don''t starve yourself) and increase your physical activity level - Both are tru; but never try to "cut out all carbs."
There are good n bad carbs: fruit & veg vs sugary sodas, candy, etc.
Almost every food will trigger insulin output to some extent; w/o insulin the blood sugar would spike off the charts.
You couldnt get fat on a very low cal diet; you prob couldnt function well either.
If you burn more cals that you eat, there are no cals left over for the body to store. the stored cals are fat.
