Why Is Dieting SO Stressful?
Dieting can be stressful because of the lack of knowledge. When going
about nutrition, there are many many ways to go about it and so I
believe so many people are confused and have no idea how or where to
begin, so they just dismiss the ‘dieting program.’ The point of dieting
is too either lose weight or improve your health, eating healthier
essentially. Well, to simplify everything, I try to avoid all junk foods
such as sodas, and chips because I know I’l indulge in those types of
foods and beverages. The key is to maintain a healthy eating habit and
reduce junk food intake as much as possible, and thus you’re dieting.
How Do you Lose weight Easily?
To promote weight loss, you need to burn calories to burn away “weight”
or be in a calorie deficit to promote weight loss. This is the main
thing you should focus on when trying to reduce fat on your body. When
going about a calorie deficit, you are eating less every day, or
consuming fewer calories at the end of the day. You need to stay on a
calorie deficit for a while til you notice weight loss, and from there,
you can continue with the process or decision.
How Do you Feel About Diet Foods?
Diet foods are something that you must examine and reflect on. Everyone
has a different way of dieting, their approach, etc. If a diet food is
telling you too only eat certain foods, I wouldn’t agree with it. Since
you’re only focused on eating certain foods, you may be deficient in
other vitamins/minerals and this will impact your overall health and
performance.
How To Avoid Muscle Loss when you are not exercising
To avoid muscle loss, you need to nourish your muscles. Your muscles
need protein, carbs and fats. I’d recommend having a high protein diet,
make sure you’re eating carbs to maintain fullness and take supplements
if needed. BCAAS or EAA’s are ideal to keep your muscle mass as well. If
you can perform cardio/walking/jogging work, that will promote
increased blood flow which helps with nourishing your muscles and will
keep your muscles rather than letting it slowly degrade.
Is Eating 5 Meals a Day good Compared to 3 Meals a Day?
It all depends on the individual. If you can handle 5 meals a day, and
it’s for a purpose, then it’s ok. If you’re an average person and trying
to eat 5 meals a day to “gain a lot of muscle or gain weight fast” it
may not work. Just because you’re eating A lot doesn’t mean you’re going
to grow muscle, a lot. It’s all about timing, nutrition and how
effective your workouts are. You can eat all you want, but if your
workouts aren’t focused nor your nutrition, muscle growth is going to be
slow. So, with that being said, only eat enough when you’re
full/satisified. Don’t be excessive with it. If you’re going to eat a
lot of food, I recommend having some tea in your life because that will
aid in digestion which will help digest the food better and more
properly.
What Can I do to go from Skinny to Muscular?
To be muscular, you must workout and eat. When you workout, you tear
your muscles fibers and when you eat, you’re helping your muscles
recover from the nutrients. So, if you wanna grow big, make sure you’re
eating a proper diet, high protein, etc. Don’t eat a lot of junk. Your
body responds much better to healthier and cleaner foods. Also, sleep
and daily life activites dictates on the way you grow, etc. If you
aren’t sleeping enough, you’re impacting your growing and recovery
stage; If you’re constantly stressing or exercising, you’re causing too
much exhaustion on your body & mind. Your body is a machine, respect
it and treat it right and it’ll respond much better and effective when
you listen to your body. If you’re skinny and trying to gain body
weight, you need to be in a calorie surplus. You must consume more
calories at the end of the day to promote weight gain. ~500+ calories is
needed for a constant weight gain.
