As you know, diet and choice of food are main things in weight loss question. Not every woman has clear understanding of it. How to understand that eating is not only good for health, but also helpful in weight loss, and how to identify products that hinder weight loss?

Low-calorie diet is main measure in weight loss process. If caloric intake is equal to your energy consumption or exceeds them, you will not lose weight even under the most strict observance of any other rules. However, there are factors that may either facilitate weight loss, or impede it. One of them is a specific effect of food on metabolism.

Products are different

Different foods have different influence on the two basic processes of metabolism and energy: some of them increase vitality and, consequently, increase energy consumption. Others promote resilience-building processes.

We call products of the first kind ergotropic and second - trophotropic.

Predominance of ergotropic foods gives a clear sense of wakefulness, but preponderance of trophotropic leads to drowsiness.

Products that help lose weight

Products with a strong ergotropic action:
Cottage cheese, kefir, lean fish, coffee, tea, garlic, onion, pepper, buckwheat, millet.

Products of little influence on metabolism and weight loss

More or less neutral foods:
Beef, lamb, soya bean and its products, cereals and pasta, fruits. Bakery products are neutral only if prepared without eggs, milk and yeast, otherwise they have a pronounced trophotropic effect.

Products that impede weight loss

Following foods are most trophotropic:
eggs, milk, pork (especially bacon), white meat of chicken and turkey, a number of vegetables, yeast baking, beverage prepared with use of malt, or yeast.

When combined ergotropic and trophotropic foods somehow “neutralize” each other. Therefore, using kefir, cottage cheese, onion, garlic, black pepper, you can fix a few vegetable dishes, making them suitable for use during a day.

So that body would give up its fat easier, you need to use primarily ergotropic and neutral foods over the course of slimming, and avoid trophotropic ones.

WARNING! If you can not organize yourself a low-calorie diet, which content of trophotropic foods is significantly limited, it is important to observe the requirement of low calorie! ..

“Fat Burning”

As it is known, in order to successfully lose weight, it is necessary to ensure superiority of energy consumption over energy absorption. Since value of energy consumption is different for different people, to lose weight by 3-5% from baseline weight in a month (we do not recommend doing it faster), it is necessary to restrict their calorie diet of different size. In doing so, it, in any case should be less than daily energy consumption by approximately 900 kcal.

How to determine the value of individual energy consumption?

If you can not independently determine your energy consumption, but observe a strict accounting of consumed calories, you can always seek advice in a place of medical treatment. This question is very important, because at the end of slimming course people should engage fully balanced diet, allowing the use of any food. To resolve this problem, knowing the value of average daily energy consumption is practically necessary.

Why you can not lose weight fast?

First, in the process of slimming quite a lot of toxic products are formed. The more intense weight loss is, the more slags are formed. So, while high-speed weight loss represents a threat to health.

Second, when speed of weight loss is significantly bigger than 5% per month, other tissues and organs may fail to adapt to a new situation: atonic skin may become flabby, there will be a risk of vascular disorders etc.

Third, if you lose weight too fast, the body is set to store fat, that is predisposition to adiposity returns.
