Can You Eat Healthy and Still Be Fat? > 자유게시판

Many people believe that being overweight and eating healthy are mutually exclusive; others believe that you can be both fat and healthy at the same time. The truth may surprise you, as the research on the topic suggests that there's more than one way to lose weight while still enjoying some of your favorite foods (as long as they're in moderation).

In this post, we take a look at how people can eat healthy and still be fat.

What is healthy eating all about?
Eating a healthy diet is about more than just cutting out junk food. Eating a healthy diet means consuming nutrient-rich foods on a regular basis. It's not hard to eat unhealthy foods; it takes discipline to eat well consistently, but eating nutritious meals can be easier than you think if you plan properly. The most important step in planning your healthy meals is deciding what constitutes as a nutritious meal. There are no hard-and-fast rules, but the Eatwell Guide specifies that your diet should consist of 5 main food groups; 1) vegetables (many different colors!) 2) fruits 3) protein 4) carbs 5) fat.

How people gain fat
There are many ways to gain fat: overeating, eating unhealthy foods, poor food choices, junk food dieting, etc. The key is to identify why you are gaining fat in order to fix it. Everyone is different and there's not one size fits all diet that will cause weight loss for everyone-dieting needs to be personalized for your specific health needs. If you have chronic medical conditions such as diabetes or hypertension then a healthy diet may include more carbohydrates than someone without those conditions; on a whole-foods plant-based diet one person might lose a lot of weight while another stays overweight or even gains weight-it all depends on genetics, activity level, gender, medications taken (or not), stress levels, etc.

However, a major contributor to weiht gain is excess calories. When you consume too many calories regularly, your body can't use them all for energy, so it starts to store these calories in the body as fat. If you exercise regularly and lift weights, these excess calories can be stored in the body in the form of muscle mass instead. But if you don't, the body has no choice but to store them as fat.

Eating healthy and weight gain
As you read above, the major contributor to weight gain is excess calories. You can overeat on anything, whether that'd be vegetables, fruit or junk food. It is true that it is easier to overeat on junk food as they contain a lot more calories, but in general, you can overeat on vegetables alone too. If your excess weight has come from overeating on vegetables, your body will at least be healthier than if you oveate on junk food and snacks.

What Does it Mean If You Are Overweight or Obese
Despite widespread misconceptions, there is no single definition of what it means to be overweight or obese. Your doctor may look at your height-to-weight ratio or body mass index (BMI) to determine your weight status. If you're concerned about your weight status, don't hesitate to ask your physician for a thorough physical examination. Your physician can check your overall health, as well as offer dietary advice that fits with an active lifestyle. When trying to lose weight, exercise plays a big role in making sure you're still eating healthy foods but changing portions sizes so you can make healthier choices while staying full and feeling satiated. The more muscle on your body means that you'll burn more calories without having to work out harder.

If you are worried about your diet, it is best to speak to a nutritionist or a dietitian. They will be able to analyse your current diet and identify any nutritional deficiencies as well as create a balanced diet that you'll love to eat.




The Health Risks of Being Overweight and Obese
Being overweight or obese increases your risk of developing numerous health problems including diabetes, heart disease, stroke, arthritis, high blood pressure, sleep apnea and certain cancers. This means that eating a healthy diet isn't just about vanity-it's about maintaining good health as well. If you are overweight or obese, it's important to get serious about finding a way to lose weight safely. Whether you use a tried-and-true method such as counting calories in versus calories out (i.e., Calories in/calories out), or whether you use an alternative method, losing weight should become your top priority.
