By now, body shape and weight control are an obsession for both women and men, but – despite the idea of “thinness = beauty” imposed on us by contemporary society – following a balanced diet and losing those extra pounds that weigh us down can help us feel better also with ourselves, with the mirror, and with others.
Since The Unique Form focuses on Beauty Routine and beauty rituals, we couldn’t avoid talking about this aspect of your daily life as well, to help you feel more beautiful and energetic!
But let’s take it step by step…
Diet and ideal weight: when is losing weight really necessary?
Ideal or “physiological” weight is a scientific value, conceived as a reference to ensure a healthy life in every respect for the individual, and therefore varies according to gender, height, and age.
In short, the famous “ideal weight” is nothing more than a perfect mathematical calculation, based on the Body Mass Index (BMI).
Here is how Body Mass Index is calculated:
BMI = Weight (kg)/Height (cm)2
Once the BMI is obtained, we can use specific tables to understand – based on age – whether we are: normal weight, underweight, overweight, or worse.
Don’t worry! There’s no need to reopen algebra books: online you can find many automatic tools that do the work for you.
Here, for example, is the free service for calculating Body Mass Index from the Ministry of Health.
To give you an idea, if you are a woman over 25 years old, about 1.65 m tall, your ideal weight should be between 54–63 kg.
So, do you want to lose weight?
Ok, after the necessary premises, let’s proceed step by step…
The hardest thing to do – at least at the beginning – is to have WILLPOWER: to resist temptations, hunger, and habits, keeping your goal firmly in mind.
How to find the motivation to lose weight?
The key to success, when you want to lose weight, is really wanting it.
As we said, willpower is essential, as is identifying a final goal, or – even better – multiple goals.
The most effective choice – for dieting but not only – is in fact to break down your final goal into several smaller and closer intermediate goals, in order to monitor our progress and enjoy a few more satisfactions along the way!
Certainly, following a strict diet that completely eliminates the pleasure of taste is not a brilliant idea if we want to increase our motivation to lose weight.
Finding a way – within reason – to make the diet more enjoyable is definitely better.
No one likes to undergo forced food restrictions, so the two most common reactions are: trying to lose weight quickly, adopting the “painful but fast” approach, or trying to make a few small sacrifices every day.
How do you lose weight quickly?
Once the decision is made, it’s time to take action.
But in practical terms: what should I do to lose weight?
What should I eliminate to lose weight quickly?
To lose weight, it is first necessary to follow a low-calorie diet, that is, a diet that allows a low-calorie intake: reducing daily caloric intake and limiting the consumption of foods accordingly.
Often, to lose weight, it is recommended to:
eat little but often,
take diuretics and drink plenty of water,
reduce sugar intake,
prefer foods rich in protein and fiber,
prefer whole grains,
avoid junk food,
practice sports.
For a balanced diet, it is always better not to completely eliminate any food, but generally, to lose weight it is advisable to avoid fatty and fried foods, as well as sweets, canned foods, and sugary drinks.
Be careful though, because haste is never a good advisor!
What happens if you lose weight too quickly?
Rapid weight loss can lead to some main consequences:
a temporary feeling of exhaustion, weakness, dizziness, and malnutrition, even leading to fainting.
A decrease in immune defenses.
Poor effectiveness, with a rapid regain of the initial weight.
A reduction of the muscle component of lean mass.
The appearance of stretch marks on the skin.
Excessively drastic diets, in short, not only are harmful but also don’t work!
How can you help yourself lose weight?
Especially at the beginning, dieting can be frustrating, we know, but there’s no need to weigh yourself every day, the scale is not everything, the important thing is to feel good about yourself!
To avoid a “yo-yo effect”, it’s therefore important to identify your bad habits and try to eliminate or reduce them as much as possible.
In general, the advice is:
increase your self-esteem,
eat more fruit and vegetables,
chew longer,
eat more slowly,
use smaller plates,
drink plenty of water or tea,
do physical activity.
