Find The Right Diet For Your Health

By Ali Bautista

Going on a diet is something that few people enjoy.

Eating correctly should not make you miserable. A good eating plan will allow you to have balanced meals as well as healthy snacks.

In order to know how much food you can eat, you will need to know your BMI. BMI calculators are found easily on the internet. All they require is that you enter in your data and allow the calculator to complete its task. The number that it spits out is the amount of calories your body needs to maintain your current weight. Multiply this number by 0. 9 in order to find a realistic calorie intake for your body.

It is important that you not reduce your calories so severely that you body begins to think that there is a famine. This will cause your body to reduce the number of calories that it uses and begin to store every available ounce of fat possible. When you begin to eat normally again, your will gain back more weight than you lost during your diet. This is the reason that so many of the fad eating plans do not work.

The USDA food pyramid is a great tool for planning a balanced diet. Follow this guideline and you can healthy foods while minimizing unhealthy ones. If you have a craving for a food that is high in calories, try just one bite and see if it fills the need.

You may want to try eating six small meals each day, which add up to the ninety percent of you current BMI. Since blood sugar levels are kept constant, you will not be as tempted to binge eat. Just do not let each of those six meals begin to grow.

When you begin to lose weight, your BMI will also drop. You will want to recalculate the BMI periodically in order to know your correct calorie intake.

Following the above will help you to achieve the diet results that you want. - 30552
