Just what is it about losing weight and keeping off the fats so difficult for most of us? I suppose we all know that watching our diet especially fats intake and regular exercise is the tried and tested way to keep yourself lean but why is it that many of us fail to keep to this formula that guarantees a healthy frame and weight?
Do you know what you are eating? Sounds funny? Not quite for me as I obviously did not know what I was putting into my mouth in terms of calorie count. I have listed some food below and let's see if they sounded like healthy food to you:-
Salad
Chicken Sandwich
Yogurt
Young Tau Foo
Fish slice noodles with soup
Hands up for those who agree that these are healthy food. Are there any of you hesitant to make a decision? Hey, did I hear you say there is not enough information for you to make a conclusion?
Before I go on any further, let me share with you what I have learnt from a personal trainer some years back. I am a member of a fitness chain and my office used to be located near the gym. There was a period of time where I headed to the gym religiously to work out everyday. You must be thinking that I am probably somebody who cuts a lean silhouette but alas! Not only did I fail to lose the fats I am supposed to, but I actually piled on the kilos! It was devastating each time I step on those scales after a supposedly good workout. I just could not figure out why was that so.
I have to give credit to my trainer back then because he enlightened me and showed me the relationship between the 3 major nutrients our body needs and the calories yield. Now, do you know how many calories you yield when you consume one gram of protein, one gram of carbohydrates and one gram of fats?
Answer:
1g protein = 4 calories
1g of carbohydrates = 4 calories
1g of fats = 9 calories
Looking at the calories comparison above, it is not hard to understand why we should be cutting down on theconsumption of fats. I have always thought that I was keeping a healthy diet till it dawned on me that I did not know what I was eating, do you?
Now back to my food list above, based on the information on calories yield, I will share with you more in my next postings to discover how seemingly healthy food may not be so after all.
