Diet is very popular nowadays. Often you can’t remove extra fat even after strict diet because some changes in lifestyle are necessary to get rid of those extra kilos. Without these changes, no diet will work. The answers to the question of what is the difference between a diet and a lifestyle change.

Lifestyle is a lifestyle based on identifiable behavior patterns based on the choice of the individual. Therefore, as in many other situations, weight loss affects all the choices we make in life.

Leaving aside the social and aesthetic aspects, the health risks of overweight and obesity are much more important. Cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes with a large number of health risks and even cancer are medical conditions that are more likely to develop when the weight is higher than normal.

There are some changes in lifestyle that are essential for losing weight. These changes seem difficult to implement at first, but they are easy to maintain and adapt to a new lifestyle once they started on the path to a better self.

So here you are:

Reduce daily caloric intake (eat less). In physics, any thermal system is in equilibrium when the caloric intake is equal to the energy expenditure. Energy, energy, so simple. For humans, this does not translate into weight gain or weight loss when the ingested food is equivalent to the energy used for the normal functioning of the body. This balance is estimated by the basal metabolic rate (BMR) and, associated with the level of physical activity, determines the daily caloric needs.

Compensate the lower caloric intake with foods of higher quality. Organic foods are the obvious choice. Consider the best taste and lack of chemicals, hormones, and antibiotics, and the choice is easy. Naturally, organic foods cost more, but by consuming less, the budget will not be affected.

Increase in physical activity. This is the second part of the energy equation. Resistance training, such as lifting weights, push-ups, squats and the like, is much more effective than cardiovascular exercises. Resistance training increases your metabolism and keeps you active for hours after you stop exercising.
