Maintain Health, Maintain Weight
While losing weight, one should emphasize on maintaining good health and balanced nutrition. We call it “Personalized Weight Management Program”. Only when a body is healthy, then only a person can have the optimum condition and energy to maintain ideal weight.
Basal Metabolism Rate (BMR)
Your BMR is the minimum level of energy your body needs when at rest. Your BMR is greatly affected by the quantity of muscle mass you have, increasing your muscle mass to help your basal metabolism. Having a higher basal metabolism will increase the number of calories used and help to decrease the amount of body fat. A low BMR will make it harder to lose body fat and overall weight.
1. BMR is highest when you were a baby
2. After 20 years old, metabolism rate decrease with age. Women accumulate fat more easily than men as women have 6 ~ 10% lower BMR compared to men
When BMR is low, energy is hard to be metabolized, thus it stored as fat in our body. Women tend to have fat stored at arms
Fasting is a widely used method of weight loss because it gives fast results. Up to 50% of the weight lost is from lean body mass, which is muscle. This is a very undesirable result and is the last thing you want to happen when you want to reduce body fat.
Lean body mass or muscle, is the fat burning engines of your body. When your body eats muscle for nutrition, you are losing these metabolic engines which are needed to burn your body fat. As a result, when you start eating again, more of the calories are stored as fat rather than being burned for energy. This is the yo yo diet syndrome that you have probably read about. The more you starve yourself, the more muscle you lose and the fatter you get.
In addition to losing lean body mass, fasting results in malnutrition and loss of important minerals.
Lower Physical Activities
Bad Eating Habit 1. Supple BMR is lowest when you sleep, thus…… 2. Sit Down After Meal Bad blood circulation, fat easily accumulated, especially at stomach, arms, hips. Sitting burn very low calorie 3. Irregular Meal Time and Portion A person who takes 2 meals per day gain weight more easily then a person who takes 3 meals per day. Due to irregular meal or long hour between meals, body tend to convert energy to stored as fat in body for future use. Hidden Obesity Dieters who lose weight by starving themselves, are actually not losing the fat that they want to lose, they are losing the essential elements of bone, blood, muscle and water. In other words, although body weight decrease, but fat content remain the same, they are still in the state of fat/obese, this is what’s being known as “Hidden Obesity”. Choosing the wrong weight loss method can put your health at risk. Thus taking low calories meal with the balance nutrition, together with regular exercise, are essential for healthy weight loss. Reason of Slow Weight Loss
1. Not enough water intake 2. Drug prescription like birth control pill, hormone pill 3. Irregular diet, meal time causing metabolism slow down 4. Too much alcohol intake or excessive sugar, fatty food intake 5. Sometimes weight remain the same, however body dimension decrease 6. Due to water retention during menstrual, weight remain heavy 7. Energy intake is too high 8. Body is balancing water content, thus weight is not dropping 9. Constipation Fill Your Kidney with Enough Water
Kidney can not function properly when it’s lack of water, when this happen, task that used to bared by kidney is now bared by liver. Key function of liver is turning body fat to energy which can be used by body. If liver have to bare some of the task belongs to kidney, liver thus can not work effectively. As a result, only small amount of fat is being metabolized, and large amount of fat is stored in body, dragging the result and effect of weight loss.
