AnticeluliticoEn-slimming-treatment of Argentina almost 50% of the population is overweight or obese. It is important to know the parameters which are recorded. The first point to consider is the very definition of what is overweight and obesity.

The Body Mass Index (BMI) or body mass index (BMI) is the most reliable parameter, although not directly measure fat levels. Is an equation which is divided by the value of body weight by the square of height? (WEIGHT / HEIGHT X HEIGHT). The normal value of BMI must be between 18 and 25. If the value is between 25 and 30 is considered overweight. If the value is over 30 is considered obese. The prevalence of obesity has increased by 50% in the last 10 to 15 years.

If a weight problem, it is essential to know what you eat. For it will initiate a system adapted or simply to correct errors nutrition.

We are all supermenteurs!

Tell me what you eat … If you wonder what you ate during the day, you will naturally tend to lie! Because several studies have shown, we underestimate our consumption. Most often, this is not at all aware. For example, we “forget” what we eat between meals. In fact, the more control inputs or more one tries to restrict, the more you underestimate what you swallow. Only protein intakes are rather well evaluated.

What you should know …

For the physician, it is nevertheless important enough to know exactly what your eating. To evaluate your profile, the specialist will go through three main points:

• The type of food you usually eat and those you prefer;
• The circumstances in which you eat;
• The existence or not of eating disorders (snacking, compulsions …).

The methods to know the truth…

To know exactly what you eat, the doctor uses several tools:
The calendar: It is a picture to fill each day with all food consumed, and the circumstances. It will thus give an overview of your diet. The doctor can identify the content of your meals and detect possible problems. It is often used during the first consultation, then identify areas for improvement.
The recall of 24 hours: The doctor uses your memory! It will ask in detail what you ate the night before writing or orally. This helps in knowing if you have implemented the recommendations and identify remaining problems. It is used in monitoring.
The dietary history: It’s sort of a variant of the recall of 24 hours. Your doctor will ask you to describe a typical day.
Questionnaires frequency of consumption: These are questionnaires that will help evaluate a specific aspect of food energy intake Either or qualitative aspects.

No scheme every time!

Besides that will use the doctor, the primary interest of this type of food surveys, is to begin by realizing what you really eat. It is often very informative and brings out any excess or wrong choice. This detailed study allows to propose a suitable method that has the greatest chance of success. Indeed, a system can not function if it is not identifying errors food. The survey will reveal areas for improvement: reducing taken between meals, reduce the excessive consumption of energy drinks too … In addition, it will be possible to determine the Junk Food you eat.

In our society, thinness is the ideal rule. The definition of overweight is however quite different for health care professionals from the magazines. For your doctor, you’re overweight if your body mass index (BMI) is greater than or equal to 25 (Calculate your body mass index). Go see a practitioner you will appreciate at its proper level the importance of your overweight. Your doctor may also take into account other clinical parameters that have prognostic value for health, as the degree of abdominal adiposity, as assessed by simply measuring the waist (normally less than 90 cm in women and 100 cm in men). The doctor may also measure with a compass the skin fold thickness in different body areas (abdomen, shoulder, hip) to assess the importance of body fat.

The better you understand a better therapeutic approach

The first consultation is essential because it allows the practitioner not only to specify the type of obesity in question but also and especially to assess factors that may have contributed to you being overweight: a history of obesity in the family unbalanced diet, lack of exercise or, more unusually, thyroid disease … The examination is usually long and painstaking because the decision to lose weight and start a diet should never be taken lightly. Weight loss causes a change in body image, which can cause psychological problems in people sensitive and careful practitioner must always ensure that the time is right before you propose to help you lose weight.

It does little good to lose 10-15 pounds if the price of a depression … When obesity is not a life-threatening, but is mainly a source of psychological distress, priority may also be to fight against the stigma and restore self-image rather than struggle against the scales. Do not be surprised if the doctor who receives you, ask you in detail how you live your overweight and even if you advise to take before or in conjunction with a conventional treatment approach psychological.

When overweight threatens your health

During this initial interview, the practitioner will also appreciate the potential dangers posed your overweight for your health and seek special factors that might contribute to increase the impact of overweight on your cardiovascular system (hypertension, diabetes .. .). A system impact on the joints (osteoarthritis of the hips and knees), respiratory problems, sleep apnea, are also elements that are involved in therapeutic choices that modulate and support, which is never limited to weight loss.

Some basic tests like blood glucose testing, a lipid, or sometimes additional tests may therefore be prescribed during this initial consultation.

After the interview, the practitioner will ask reviewers to undertake a food survey with a dietician. During one week, you will note in a notebook all the foods you eat each day during meals, which will identify possible dietary mistakes and help you, later, to correct them.

2) Reward yourself after each short period of healthy life
Reward yourself with a gift after a week when you ate healthily and did regular exercise. It is important that the reward is not food. Make a manicure or cut your hair, buy flowers or clothes, everything but food.

3) Share your workouts with a friend
Find a (e) ami (e) to exercise along with you. Set the dates of exercise sessions with your friends once a week. If you’re exercising with another person, there will be much less likely that you miss one or more workouts

4) Prepare sporting a date training

If you drive, do so to keep a bag fitted with shoes and clothing kept clean in the trunk of your car. You will be able to use the excuse “Damn, I forgot my equipment for exercise.

Food

This is the factor we know best today, because we know exactly what each food contains, close to the calorie.
Time is also a key factor

The distribution of meals during the day plays an important role and is not yet fully elucidated. It is likely that one can lose weight by changing the distribution of food and, especially, by giving more importance to breakfast. We know, for example, that equal quantities of food, laboratory mice fed once or twice during the day grow, while those who are fed four times keep the same weight.
The composition of meals has long been discussed

Should we encourage the carbohydrate in the diet as usual, or may otherwise be forced on fats and proteins as in some plans? In fact, when comparing long-term diets different, the results are almost identical. All plans are losing weight the first month and are followed by a rebound weight gain. Few people can control their weight throughout life.

The key to success lies not only on food. To lose weight, it is imperative to move and exercise.

Some women gain less weight, but found their hard line.

Recuperate

If you breastfeed your needs are almost identical to those of the end of your pregnancy. Care must be taken to provide sufficient unsaturated fatty acids essential for neurological development of your child and bring 1 to 1.2 g of calcium per day. Rest assured, you have a keener appetite than other moms, but breast-feeding promotes nevertheless “long term” melting fat stored during pregnancy.

Whether you give your baby the breast or not, do not set goals unattainable. Remember that if you lose weight too quickly you will recover very quickly these curves. In addition, an unbalanced diet exhausts you physically, and then you need to regain strength, especially if your pregnancy and childbirth have been difficult.

Finally, dealing with daily baby requires a lot of energy. That does not mean you should let the pounds take hold, especially if you were already overweight before pregnancy!
