2. There is a simple equation when
it comes to losing weight,
according to the experts:
The number of calories you
output must exceed the amount
that you intake.
3. Since 3,500 calories equal one pound, a
recommended safe rate of weight loss is
approximately
1-2 pounds per week.
This translates to a daily reduction of
around 500 calories.
4. Getting and staying healthy comes with a combination of both healthy eating
choices and exercise.
It is not enough to only exercise without changing one’s diet, or only change
eating habits without moving around.
5. For the dietary part, the
food pyramid was replaced
with a more balanced
myPlate model in 2011.
The plate is divided into
four sections: 40%
vegetable, 20% protein,
30% grain, 10% fruit, with
an additional smaller outer
circle to represent a portion
of dairy.
6. Exercise is something that will never be sustainable if you hate it. It is highly
recommended to start slowly and to find things that you enjoy.
3-4 times a weeks is recommended.
