Check your diet to lose weight

Counting calorie in food is important to weight loss as all excess food we eat is either use or store as body fats. The more excess calorie in food we consume the more weight we gain.
Over a period of time be it a day, a week, a month or a year if we eat excess food we will put on weight. Every extra 3,500 calories we eat will result in an addition of 1 pound or 1/2 kilo of body weight

Unfortunately, weight loss using caloric restriction is difficult because of several physiological factors. The body adapts to energy restriction within a day or two, becoming more efficient and requiring less energy to maintain current weight.

Thus, slowing down of the body’s metabolism makes continued weight loss through caloric restriction alone difficult. However, exercise while restricting calories can help to lessen the metabolic slow down. Exercise enhances the metabolic rate. Therefore, a low calorie diet should be combined with exercise to achieve a successful weight loss goal.
