Do You Know Why Most Diet/Meal Plans Fail?
#1. Most Diet/Meal Plans do not contain the foods we like to eat. Just because we want to healthier and in smaller portions does not mean we have to give up all the foods we love!. We just need to learn how to eat them in smaller portions.
#2. The loss of motivation and the ability to resist impulse eating. It is very important to understand that “yes” we will have days that we cannot stick to a calorie control - or daily meal pattern.
The most important factor is that we do eat healthier a larger percent of the time.
We can accomplish our goals by learning how to pick and choose foods when we are on the go.
#3. Get rid of the guilt factor. So what if you had one more slice of pizza. We to learn how to adjust our mind set once we “fall of the wagon”.
#4. A good support system. We need a good “buddy system, and good advice from a nutrition professional. Sometimes we just need to understand that trying to lose weight or eating healthier can cause us to ride an emotional “roller coaster”. The highs and lows are there, we just need to know how to deal with them, and nothing works better than a good “chat” and “support system”.
There are no “Magic Secrets” learning how to eat healthy and live well takes a lot of “hard work” and “motivation”
In order for you to learn how to eat healthier and live better you need to know about “You”
Sample Nutritional Data:
- Female - Age 50 - 5′ 9″ - Moderate Exercise
- Weight 220 Lbs.
- Average Daily Caloric Intake to maintain current weight = 2615 calories
- Goal = Lose 1 Lb. per week = 2115 calories
- Goal = Lose 2 Lb. per week = 1615 calories
- BMI = 33 = Obese
The first thing you will need to figure out your daily calorie needs and goals. This may be to maintain your weight or to lose weight. If you want to lose weight, select your calorie goal to lose no more than one-half to one pound per week. For most people, slow weight loss is best.
Next, look at the meal plan closest to your calorie level and then plan menus for one week. You can use the sample menu as a guide. Choose foods that are available and that you enjoy eating. Plan meals that will work for your lifestyle.
Individualized Daily Caloric Intake Data
Anthroprometrics - Your body measurements.
BMI Calculations
Mifflin - St. Jeor Equation - This formula uses your basal metabolic rate and activity factors to determine total daily caloric energy expediture.
Harris-Benedict Equation - This formula uses your basal metabolic rate and activity factors to determine total daily caloric energy expediture.
Both equations are based on your gender, current height and weight, age, activity level and the amount of weight you would like to either gain or lose based on your individual profile and needs.
Note: We do not provide medical advice. All information provided is just a base using well known equation tools. The calculations may vary depending on the different mathematic formulas. Always consult your healthcare professionals before embarking on any type of diet or health related plan.
Plus is it very important to include physical activity. Being active will help you maintain a healthy body weight and keep you feeling healthy and strong. Note: If you have not been active for a long time, check with your doctor before you start an exercise program.
