It's not a good idea to be either underweight or overweight. Eating too much can make you overweight, which can lead to ill health, such as heart disease, high blood pressure or diabetes. Not eating as much food as your body needs could also affect your health.
Since I started running and taking part in 10KM race, my thighs have become more toned. However, my jeans seem to get tighter too. The health expert said that there is nothing wrong with it. Jeans will get tighter as muscle is solid and fats can easily be squeeze into those jeans because it flattens out. Anyway, that does not worry me cos’ I get the excuses to wear more beautiful skirts!
The human body needs energy to survive, so we be able to do our work and for us to breathe, think and move. This energy is measured in "calories". Any of the food categories - namely protein, carbohydrate or fat, can be converted in the body into energy in the form of calories. Naturally, one has eaten less than the body desires if you feels hunger and excess eating is when one puts on weight.
As long as I’m healthy, I do not starve, I eat the right food and exercise, I believe that’s the reason why I’m happier this days.
- EAT NORMALLY: Make a note of everything you eat or drink over the period of a week get to know exactly how much you eat.
- REDUCE FOOD INTAKE IF NECCESSARY: Make a conscious effort to reduce your food intake. Try to eat as little fried and sugary stuff as possible. You may find yourself getting hungry and irritable between meals. This intensity of hunger will gradually reduce as your body copes with the decreased food intake.
- START EXERCISE: Any exercise, as much or as little as you can tolerate and keep it up.
- DON'T BE IN A HURRY: Do not try to lose weight quickly: Go slowly and stick to your aim.
- MODIFY YOUR WARDROBE: When you do lose weight - quickly get a set of tighter clothes or alter your clothes to fit you. Properly fitting clothes get tight and makes you uncomfortable if you eat too much or start regaining weight.
But remember: Diabetics who are on anti-diabetic medication may feel weak or hungry when their blood sugar is getting low, and need to be under supervision of a qualified person.
