Losing weight is only the first step towards a healthy lifestyle. Maintaining an optimal weight is more difficult, but scientists have now figured out how to do it. A study released at the European Obesity Congress earlier this year provides answers to the question of how to maintain a healthy weight.
According to the study, it is enough to reduce your daily diet by 300 calories. Dieters need to eat 22% fewer calories than those who have never dieted. Thus, a non-dieter can consume 1,600 calories per day, while a person losing weight will need to cut their diet to 1,300 calories.
Nutritionists believe that this effect on the body occurs due to the effect of diet on muscles. Diet has a certain effect on a person's muscles. Therefore, people who constantly diet and make sure to maintain their weight at a normal level have muscles that need fewer calories to do the same work as those who never diet.
However, over time, a person’s muscle mass begins to fall along with metabolism, i.e. metabolism, and the human body begins to need fewer calories to maintain optimal weight. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to physical exercises that will help build muscle mass and burn excess calories. Weight lifting and resistance exercises are the most effective methods for building muscle mass.
Thus, maintaining an optimal weight is not only about eating right, but also about regular exercise, which will help strengthen your muscles and maintain your metabolism at the right level. Research in this area continues, but today we can use this knowledge to maintain our slimness and health throughout our lives.
