Tips To Follow In Weight Loss Camp To Lose Weight

As you are exercising in a weight loss camp you also have to follow a diet plan to reduce weight. Many people exercise but they cannot resist food and so eat whatever they wish to which consumes calories and so their weight remains stable and they do not lose weight. If a person wants to reduce weight along with exercise, he/she has to follow a diet plan.

Here are a few easy weight loss tips that can help lose weight in a healthy way:

* Find out how many calories you need in a day

BMR (Basal metabolic rate) = Body weight (lb) * 15 + Moderate activity (min/day) *3.5

As you want to lose weight, your target = BMR-500 Kcal

For example, if you weight 140 lb and your daily activity is for 20 min every day. Then BMR = (140*15) + (20*3.5) = 2100 +20 = 2170 Kcal. BMR minus 500Kcal would be 2170 – 500 = 1670 Kcal. Therefore 1670 Kcal is the target in this example to losing 1 lb per week.

* Eat lots of fruits and vegetables:

Fruits and vegetables have fibers, vitamins and antioxidants. If you eat fruits and vegetables your stomach will fill fast. They are low in calories and helps to keep your calorie count low. Eat at least 5 servings of fruits and vegetables per day.

* Do not skip meals:

Eating small frequent meals helps in balancing your calorie intake throughout the day and also keeps your blood sugar level balanced. Instead of eating 3 big meals go in for 5-5 small meals in a day.

* Eat wholesome fresh food:

Always purchase fresh foods and avoid packaged foods like fast food. Packaged foods have higher sodium and fat content. Many people are amazed that can easily lose weight by packing a home cooked lunch instead of eating out.

* Learn about food claims and labels:

A product that is labeled with a fat-free claim does not mean that it is low in calories. A product that is labeled as low sugar or low carb does not mean it is low in fat or calories. It is important that you always read nutrition label on the packaging.

* Watch out for sugary drinks:

Watch out as to how much of soda, cream and sugar do you consume in your tea and coffee. Drink at least 8 glasses of water a day. It will not only hydrate your body, but also help you feel full.

* Keep a food Journal:

By keeping a food journal you can pinpoint your eating pattern which will enable you to easily modify it. If possible, have a Registered Dietitian review your journal.
