Nutrition Weight Loss
Nutrition change is not enough for weight loss

I've lost is two weeks'

Nutrition weight loss attempts to result to natural weight loss by managing what and how you eat. And like any other diet program, nutrition weight loss targets to introduce a negative energy balance into your diet while at the same time providing all your nutrients.
This is the classic yet basic approach to losing weight naturally. The weight loss hand book Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle classifies this approach under weight loss physiology. However it notes that two sciences are involved in permanent weight loss; physiology and psychology.
The energy that your body requires to keep alive and to do work comes directly from your diet. Diet is what you eat while nutrition or more correctly nutrients, is what your body cells get from what you eat. Loosely speaking, energy is one of the nutrients that your body extracts from your diet.
Weight loss by nutrition targets to provide less energy than your body requires without interrupting supply of other essential nutrients. This gap in energy requirements then demands the body to supplement using reserve energy which it has in store as body fat. Consequently, you burn body fat and lose weight as well as girth.
Several guidelines have been given by different professional institutions on the better way of inducing weight loss by nutrition. The following are the common and most agreed upon
To make nutrition weight loss effective your diet is encouraged to cut down or even eliminate processed carbohydrates and sugars. This includes foods like pastas, white bread etc. In place of this, you should use whole grain products. Highly processed foods and grains in particular are known to be absorbed very quickly by the body. They in turn sharply increase our blood sugar- glucose. This has the effect of signaling to you endocrine system (hormonal system) to release more insulin that inturn encourages your body to turn glucose into body fat.
This is a mechanism of preserving energy by only using what is needed. What is not of immediate use is stored as body fat.
Whole grains on the other hand naturally contain dietary fibers, both digestible and indigestible. These are technically called insoluble and soluble fibers respectively. The fibers especially the indigestible fibers tend to shield enzymes from digesting the carbohydrates very fast. This allows slow absorption of glucose over hours.
The advantage of this sustained release is two fold. First, slow absorption of glucose into the blood stream allows for your body to use it as it is absorbed. This is opposed to having a lot of glucose at once which is not all needed resulting to storage. Secondly, due to slowed down digestion you tend to fell full for a longer period of time. This is because food stays in the stomach for a longer time. This automatically helps you manage hunger.
A similar recommendation involves including a generous serving of fruits and vegetables in your daily diet. This compliments nutrition weight loss in that both vegetables and fruits are naturally high in fiber but very low in calories. Not to mention they are high in vitamins and phytonutrients, both essential nutrients for health and wellness.
Secondly to induce natural weight loss as well as manage it through nutrition, it is advised you use processed fat most sparingly. Such foods include butter and margarines.
These fats basically are meant to make food tastier. However most of them seem to be denatured and provide very little nutritive value. In place of these fats you can use liquid vegetable oils. However fish in particular is known to consist of highly nutritive fatty acids and is highly encouraged.
A well managed fat intake has two advantages in nutrition weight loss. First you provide a source of energy and second you provide essential fatty acids.
Include in this nutrition regiment lower intakes of salts and preservative and drink plenty of water through out the day.
All this is done with the express intention of controlling your calorie intake to introduce a negative energy at the same time provide you with all the necessary nutrients. Unfortunately, for most individuals this strategy even when followed will only result to minimal weight loss.
Nutrition weight loss can be rendered ineffective by external factors, whereby an individual cannot keep to this quality of diet. For others they simply lose a little bit of weight and platue. In the later case one may use weight loss exercise to further increase calorie expenditure. Infact exercises designed expressly for weight loss are part of a complete and comprehensive weight loss program.
For the former group of individuals, you will find the weight problem could be running deeper than just a problem with excess calorie intake.
As much as nutrition weight loss is laudable. It is many times not sufficient to effect weight loss in many individuals. And this is even after complimenting it with the much needed weight loss exercises. Yet for succesful loss and management of weight, nutrition is key.
Permanent weight loss requires more than natural or nutrition weight loss. As detailed in Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle, it is based on two major disciplines i.e. physiology- of which nutrition is part and psychology.
Physiology: this entails the aspect of controlled calorie intake and calorie expenditure with a view to introduce a safe and healthy calorie deficit. An effective weight loss diet falls here. Use of natural weight loss methods like nutrition weight loss falls here.
Psychology: This is probably the less tackled of the disciplines. It entails the process for achieving behavioral changes to adapt a lifestyle that maintains your new found weight. This is critical for longterm success.
