Avoid eating foods that contain much fat like dairy products. We should eat foods that contain more proteins instead like fish. Reduce your consumptions for carbohydrates, too, because our body will process carbohydrates into sugar and in turn it will be converted into fat if our total energy expenditures is less then total energy http://dailymedicaltips.blogspot.com/2008/03/weight-loss-what-to-eat.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (topptc)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6462240123739472022.post-7973611979066136997Wed, 05 Mar 2008 14:16:00 +00002008-03-05T06:16:20.043-08:00To have successful weight loss, calculate the calories of the foods & drinks you consume everyday. Eat less calories than what you need every day. Roughly, if you eat 500 calories less than what you need everyday, you will loose about 1 pound in a week. If you eat 1,000 calories less, you'll loose about 2 pounds in a week. By eating less calories, your body will have to convert its fat stores http://dailymedicaltips.blogspot.com/2008/03/weight-loss-one-simple-tip-before-diet.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (topptc)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6462240123739472022.post-6352601066434911770Mon, 03 Mar 2008 17:06:00 +00002008-12-10T08:38:34.543-08:00So, how to find out how much calories we need daily? There is another formula that is very useful for us to do that: BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) Formula. But first, what is BMR? Roughly, BMR is the number of calories you burn if you stay in bed all day long . In other words, BMR is the calories we need to maintain our body weight.Our BMR gradually decreasing over years as we age.

But actually it is not a good thing to do! Skipping meals will not help a lot in loosing body weight. Why? Because our body is designed to survive!If we skip meals, our body will think that we are facing some famine conditions that need special handling.

Of course you can have more than that weekly but I strongly suggest you to have your physicians supervise your diet program.Why it is not good to have drastic weight loss?

Remember, the figures resulted from those formulas are not exact. If your body weight slightly differs from the calculated figures, it's okay, no need to worry.While some of us have ideal body weight (IBW) or less than IBW, I believe many more who read this blog having over-weight and need to have some weight loss.

There are some formulas for it, but none of them are very accurate. Those formulas are based only on height, and have no method to compensate for age.Two most popular of those formulas are:Devine:men:IBW (in kg) = 50 + 2.3 kg per inch over 5 feet.women:IBW (in kg) = 45.5 + 2.3 kg per inch over 5 feet.Robinson:men:IBW (in kg) = 52 kg + 1.9 kg for each http://dailymedicaltips.blogspot.com/2008/02/ideal-weight.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (topptc)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6462240123739472022.post-6347539920134612823Mon, 18 Feb 2008 12:51:00 +00002008-12-10T08:38:34.834-08:00Funny, huh?
