Healthy calorie deficit and active lifestyle is the only healthy way to lose weight

 


How to lose weight in a healthy way is a million dollar question. Well.. Crash diets… burning yourself in Gym or on a treadmill… skipping meals and instead having black coffee… can these help?

All these are absolutely un-healthy, unsustainable and injurious to health. Remember the statutory warning ‘Doing these for weight loss is severely injurious to health’. Then what is the way out? Healthy calorie deficit and active lifestyle is the only way to shed extra weight from your body. Naturally you would want to know what healthy calorie deficit is.

Body needs energy as fuel, protein for building muscles, tissues and organ and micro-nutrients (Vitamins +mineral) for various vital functions. Carbohydrate and fat in food is the main source of fuel in the body. However extra fuel consumed (read food consumed more than required) is stored as fat in the body. If you are obese or over weight that means after years of hard work (extra calorie consumed by way of more than required intake of carbohydrate and fat through your favorite foods) slowly and gradually got deposited in your body as fat.

Now if you want to remove this extra fat from your body you need to create a healthy deficit of calorie consumption in your daily diet plan so that the body derives that deficit calorie by burning the stored fat. Healthy deficit mean you eat lower carbohydrate and fat (so that calorie consumption get lowered) but do not compromise on essential nutrition that’s protein, vitamin and minerals. You eat healthy food full of nutrition and burn moderately 400-500 calorie every day through exercise. An hour of moderate intensity exercise will burn 400-500 calorie. If you create a calorie deficit of 500 everyday you would shed a pound of weight from your body every week. Technically if you create a cumulative deficit of 7700 calories in your body, you would loose 1 kg fat. It’s very simple…!



  








Instead of sustained effort for healthy calorie deficit people try various trendy ways. Friends… in all those ways you lose your muscles (not fat), become fragile and un-healthy. Healthy weight loss (read fat loss) makes you energetic, strong, and agile while un-healthy weight loss makes you weak, fragile, and tired. You may look thinner in short run (eventually you would gain higher weight than you lost) but it weakens your immunity, makes the aging process faster and many other bad effects on body.

So always focus on fat loss not weight loss… Go the old-fashioned way and focus on healthy active lifestyle not the short cuts. Stay healthy!!

The Uric Acid Equation

Image
Debunking Myths and Embracing a Healthy Lifestyle Uric acid – it's a term many of us have heard, often whispered with a hint of concern, and frequently misunderstood. For some, it's just another number on a blood test. For others, it's the culprit behind excruciating joint pain. But what exactly is uric acid, why does it become a problem, and can we truly manage it with lifestyle changes? Let's dive in. What is Uric Acid and Why Does it Matter? Uric acid is a natural waste product formed when your body breaks down purines, which are compounds found in many foods and also produced by your body. Normally, your kidneys filter out uric acid, and it's expelled through urine. However, if your body produces too much uric acid or your kidneys don't excrete enough, it can build up in your bloodstream. This condition is known as hyperuricemia. When uric acid levels become excessively high, it can crystallize in your joints, leading to a painful form of arthritis called go...

Is Obesity Caused by Genetic Mutation? Are some people destined to be Fat?

Image
  No gene guarantees obesity. Instead, genes increase susceptibility and increases the risk of becoming fat. Some genes do influence obesity as they are involved in metabolism, appetite control, fat storage, and energy usage. Scientists have found dozens of gene variants linked to obesity — but unfortunately fat gene is present in every human being – a bit of less or more and it can cause a weight variation to the maximum of 5-20% only. Studies of identical twins (who have 100% the same DNA) show that lifestyle matters enormously. Genes may whisper, but lifestyle decides whether they scream. The real issue isn’t genes... it’s hyper-processed food, endless stress, screen addiction, and lack of movement. If you have higher proportion of fat genes, It simply means; Your body may fight weight loss harder & you may have to be more mindful about food and movement than someone else. Do you really have fat genes making you fat?   FTO Gene — The Famous “Fat Gene”. People with certa...

Rise and Shine: The Magic of Waking Up Early for a Healthier, Happier Life

Image
Have you ever felt like the day controls you, rather than you controlling the day? Emails flood in, tasks pile up, and before you know it, it’s bedtime again — and the cycle repeats. Here’s the truth: how you start your morning sets the tone for your entire day. Why Waking Up Early is a Game Changer :  Waking up early isn't just a habit; it's a lifestyle transformation. When you rise with the sun (or before it!), you gift yourself the most precious resource — time for yourself. ✅ Kickstarts Your Metabolism: The first movement of the day after restful sleep triggers your metabolism, signaling your body that it’s time to burn fuel for energy. Morning movement releases cortisol (your natural "wake-up" hormone), balances blood sugar, and primes your body for fat-burning mode.✅ Enhance Mental Clarity supports to create a powerful day: The early morning is free from distractions. Your mind is fresh, creative, and more focused — an ideal time to design the day, not just sur...
