Did you know? Although dieting to lose weight or maintain a healthy weight is a year-round effort, many people opt to ramp up their dieting in the summer. That’s because clothes get lighter and shorter in summer, which also serves as swimsuit season. A focus on physique and being healthy comes back into focus. According to experts at the Nutrition Research Center at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, calories are a measurement of energy. The number of calories in foods equates to the energy that the foods supply. If the energy isn’t used to fuel physical activity or metabolic processes, it may be stored for later, often in the form of fat reserves. In order to maximize weight loss, many people try to eat as few calories as possible. However, this can be dangerous. According to Kelly Brownell, Ph.D., a professor of psychology at Yale University and author of “The LEARN Program for Weight Management” (American Health Publishing Co.), women should not consume fewer than 1,200 calories a day, and men 1,500 on average. Cutting calories dramatically may lead to muscle loss, reduce the amount of nutrients acquired by the body, contribute to feelings of listlessness, and slow down metabolism as the body reacts to conserving residual fuel. A low-calorie diet also can put
a person at risk for heart problems and gallstones. Coach Calorie, a diet and exercise advice site, advises against following blanket weight-loss advice about eating less and moving more, as it’s not a one-size-fits-all regimen. Before beginning a weight-loss regimen, speak with a doctor and/or professional dietician. These people can create a diet and weight-loss plan that is healthy and effective and won’t cause detrimental side effects.
