"The Fewer Calories, the Better": Does Following This Rule Help You Lose Weight? It's Not That Simple
How to get rid of excess weight? It would seem that the answer to this question is obvious: "You just need to eat less."
And people who want to lose weight often think like this: "Perhaps I need to cut down on my caloric intake significantly. After all, the fewer calories I get, the faster my weight will drop."
It would seem logical. But it is not that simple.
It turns out that a very low calorie diet can only harm a person.
And it is possible that the lost weight will return with a noticeable “reserve”.
Why is a sharp reduction in caloric intake dangerous?
The rule “the fewer calories, the faster the weight loss” works as long as the daily figure is more than 1200 kcal.
A person who consumes 500-1000 kcal per day will, of course, also lose weight. But only at first.
Such a meager diet contributes to increased fatigue, irritability, a feeling of weakness, a worsening mood, and a constant feeling of hunger.
And if there is a “breakdown” in the diet (and with such a caloric diet it becomes almost inevitable), then the person will most likely face a lack of positive weight loss results.
500, 800 or 1000 kcal per day is too little. The indicator should be at least 1200 kcal. And only if a person does not face physical activity and sits at home all day.
If there are at least minimal loads, then the indicator should be even higher. Otherwise, it is unlikely that you will lose weight.
And there is one more important rule: before going on a diet, you need to consult a doctor.
