Why Does Your Weight Go Up?

From the previous article, you already know that your BMI (Body Mass Index) is important for your healthy weight loss plan. And now you need to understand why your weight goes up.

This is what you need to know:

A. Our bodies burn some calories each day. Calories burned by the body of each person is different. Now we consider the average woman's body can burn 1300 calories per day. (In a state without exercise otherwise known as RMR or Resting Metabolic Rate)

2. Any food and beverages have a certain amount of calories. For example 1 cup of Starbucks has about 600 calories. (Water = 0 calories. So, lots of drinking does not make you fat. That is, the myth of water can make the fat is not true)


3. Excess calories into our bodies will be automatically converted into a reserve our bodies in the form of fatty foods.

3. Excess intake of calories in our bodies, will be automatically converted by the body into food reserves, which we know as fat.

4. Thus if we want to lose weight we need to consume fewer calories than the calories can be burned our bodies. Because of the lack of calories needed to be taken from reserves in our body that is fat. So we're going to lose weight. The challenge is that we should eat foods low in calories but still meet the nutritional needs of our bodies. If we just eat less or diet with a radical way, instead will make our body metabolism to slow and ultimately our weight is difficult to go down.

5. If the intake of calories we eat, the same as the calories burned by the body, then our weight will be stable.

6. if we want to go down an average of 1kg per week, we need to consume 500 calories less than the calories burned by the body daily. In the example above, the quota of calories that can be inserted into your body is 1450-500 = approximately 900 calories.

Now we see a common diet we do:
- Morning: 2 pieces of bread plus butter (300 calories) + 1 glass of sweet tea (150 calories)
- 2 pieces of fried morning snack = 150 calories
- Lunch (600 calories) + soda (200 calories)
- Snacks afternoon went to Starbucks to drink Vanilla Latte (600 calories) + muffin (300 calories)
-Dinner (600 calories)

Well if you totalize, what you eat is 2900 calories, but your body can only burn 1400 calories. What happens is, it's 1500 calories excess, stored by our bodies into reserves, which is fat.

Well if you are the type of people who are overweight, better watch yourself from now on, because obesity shall mean unhealthy. If you are not on the ideal weight, you will increase the risk of diseases such as Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and stroke. In fact, 90% of people who have Type 2 diabetes is a fat person.
