Nutrition plan to lose weight

In an effective nutrition plan to lose weight, you need to keep a close eye on the quantities and quality of proteins, fat and carbohydrates in your diet. Your body needs all these main groups of nutrients in the appropriate portions to stay healthy.

To avoid experiencing low levels of energy, I recommend snacking in between each main meal. People who are physically more active can choose to snack in greater quantities due to the expenditure of energy and higher metabolic rate.

The recommended calorie count for women cab is from 1600 kcals to 1800 kcals; for men 1800 kcals to 2000 kcals. In the nutrition plan to lose weight, you should avoid alcohol as well. Excessive drinking is the number one culprit for belly fats.

Choose snacks that release energy slowly, namely those that are low in glycaemic index. Foods that are low in glycaemic index affect the level of blood-sugar slowly and do not cause energy spike and troughs.

On the other hand, carbohydrates and sugary food are high in glycaemic index. They replenish your body with sugar quickly and leave you wanting more. The staple foods present in the western and eastern diets are often high in glycaemic index. Unless you change your portion of eating potatoes and rice, you will face challenges in losing weight.

To assist your body in digestion, eat food that can be broken down easily. Alkaline food is easily digested and is anti oxidant. On the contrary, acidic food is hard to break down and creates by product that is toxic to the body.
Here are some specific changes you can make to your snacking habits to ensure that they are of the healthy choice!

Firstly, when buying tinned food, choose those are in plain water or brine. Tinned food that contains sugary water can increase your calorie count.
Secondly, choose non-hydrogenated spreads for your bread. Non-hydrogenated spreads are low in cholesterol.

Thirdly, flavor your dishes with herbs and spices, like basil. Herbs that are air dried can add fresh flavors to your dishes, replacing your craving for unhealthy food which is also strong in flavor.

Snacking will prevent you from overeating and ensure that you have a steady flow of nutrients and energy throughout the day. Snacking is an important element in your nutrition plan to lose weight.
