In recent years, although rapid diets and sudden weight loss have been topical, doctors warn that healthy weight loss is not only about losing weight but also about maintaining the body's balance.
Medianews.az, referring to Foodinfo.az, presents the main principles of healthy weight loss:
– Slow and steady weight loss: Losing 0.5–1 kg per week is considered the ideal pace. Rapid weight loss leads to muscle loss and a slowdown in metabolism.
– Balanced nutrition: The diet should include foods rich in protein, healthy fats, fiber, and vitamins-minerals. Completely eliminating any food group is dangerous for health.
– Yeast and water balance: Drinking enough water throughout the day speeds up metabolism and reduces the feeling of hunger.
– Physical activity: Regular exercise and movement strengthen muscles and help reduce fat in a healthier way.
– Psychological balance: Stress and lack of sleep can prevent weight loss. A healthy lifestyle plays a key role in the weight loss process.
Experts emphasize that healthy weight loss is not a short-term result but a long-term habit change. The goal is not only to reduce weight but also to protect health.
