The Weight Loss "Secret"

The secret of the title is in quotes because really, losing weight has no secret, to lose weight you only need one thing: consume less calories than the body spends.

If the body spends 2000 calories to survive and go for a walk in the day, consuming 1500 calories the body will have a caloric deficit of 500 calories, with that the body will take from the fat stock to compensate, so the person will lose weight daily.

Basically we all follow a diet (diet is everything you eat in the day), we just don't have that calorie control, so it's common for people to consume more than the body needs, increasing body weight.

Of course, there are ways to boost metabolism, consume foods rich in proteins and good fats and reduce carbohydrate consumption, especially simple ones, which come from processed foods, fast foods, sugary drinks, etc.

understanding the diet

In diets, nutritionists do tests and calculations to discover your basal metabolic rate, to use as a basis to define your daily caloric expenditure and as a basis to define how many calories your body will burn to do physical activities (when combining diet with training).

In addition, they will assemble your meals and the amounts of food you should consume to achieve your result. This is the “mathematics” part of diets, but as we know human beings are not just logical beings, in this way many diets are perfect on paper, but not very applicable in people's lives. Even more so when people are overweight and decide to start losing weight.

Using data to your advantage

The good thing about knowing about calories and macronutrients (protein, carbohydrate and fat) that you should consume is that there are thousands of combinations to achieve the same result. In this way, instead of boring food, it is possible to create recipes that will bring flavor and grace to your diet, combining the useful with the pleasant.

With that the diet will not be restrictive but will open up a range of possibilities. If all this seems too complex, you can use fitness recipe apps, which will do all the calculations for you. Let's name some of the most used ones:

  • Easy Recipes
  • Fit and Healthy Recipes
  • Healthy Recipes
  • light recipes
  • Delicious Fitness Recipes

Positive side x Negative side of fitness food appss

The purpose of these apps is to provide you with healthy recipes that will help you consume the right amounts so you can lose weight.

As you will have information on how many calories your body needs to lose weight and types of nutrients in quantity, you will only need to look for recipes that fit your parameters.

The positive side will be a huge variety of foods that will be possible to make with basic foods, with that the diet will not be repetitive and boring. And the downside, if there is one, will only be having a scale so you don't make mistakes in the amounts of each food.
