How can a calorie deficit backfire?

Shalini Sudhakar said that when we stop consuming carbohydrates, the body turns to fat cells for energy. Thus, more energy is consumed, more fat is burned and the body loses weight. However, we can only do this for 2-3 weeks because hunger and cravings will soon set in. This forces us to consume more carbohydrates in less time, which can lead to regaining the lost pounds. Or worse, it can make us gain more than what we missed in the first place. Read also | Woman Who Lost 7 Pounds in 21 Days Shares Her Intermittent Fasting Diet

Therefore, the nutritionist suggested three simple steps to steadily lose weight and ensure that the lost kilograms do not return to the body:

Protein and fiber:

“Add 1 cup of protein and 1 cup of vegetables to each meal. There is no need to go on a certain diet, you can eat the same food that everyone eats at home. Just make sure you never get enough protein and fiber. It naturally lowers your carb intake and you’ll be in a calorie deficit,” read an excerpt from her caption.

Exercise:

Exercise is also part of the weight transformation journey. The nutritionist added: “Exercise 1 hour a day for 6 days a week. It can be any form of exercise as simple as walking, but never skip it. It’s the most important way to burn more calories because most are very sedentary.” Read also | How to lose 4 kg in 30 days? Fat Loss Coach Shares 4 Tips: “No Shortcuts, Just Results”

Quality sleep:

“Sleep, dream, dream! Go to bed on time, definitely before 10:30 p.m. Disrupting your sleep cycle will disrupt your circadian rhythm, which will worsen your cortisol levels. When your body produces higher levels of cortisol, your body will store more fat and all your efforts to lose weight will have less or no effect,” Shalini Sudhakar wrote.
