When it comes to losing weight, some people are lucky. All they need to do is decrease their portions, increase their activity and the weight seems to disappear overnight. Unfortunately, not everyone who wants to lose weight is that lucky. In fact, it might seem like an uphill battle that never ends. Since weight loss only occurs when there’s a deficit in the caloric consumption, it can be difficult understanding what you can and cannot eat. But reducing consumption is more than eliminating fat from your diet.
You need to find the right balance of food to fuel your body and ward off potentially life-threatening disease like heart disease. However, be mindful of the amount of food you need to maintain an ideal body weight.
