Womans Day Magazine Diet
The human race is getting fatter. According to the World Health Organisation over a billion people in the world are overweight, with 300.000 of them putting their lives at risk from being clinically or morbidly obese. A sedentary lifestyle and tempting food treats are all around us, so how do we lose weight without getting on the endless diet treadmill?
Get Real
Take a good long look at your diet. Be honest with yourself. Write a food diary or join Sparkpeople.com to track how many calories you are eating. For just one week, write down every food, measure every portion and calculate how many calories you are burning with exercise or housework etc. If you are a woman of average UK height, you probably need around 2000 calories to stay the same weight. If you are in good health nut gaining weight, there is a very real chance you are eating more calories than you are burning. But where are all these calories coming from?
The Usual Suspects
Hidden calories come in a lot of different forms, but mainly consist of sugar and fat. A McDonald’s Cheese Burger has over 700 calories. A cup of tea with milk and sugar could be 70 calories or as much as 100 depending on the size of serving. If you drink 10 cups of tea and coffee a day, you could be drinking half your daily calorie allowance without realising. Also, choosing high fat or sugar snacks such as crisps, chips, chocolate and cake, you will probably be ingesting many more calories than you realise… and as it causes spikes in your blood sugar levels, it’s very likely you’ll still feel hungry!
