Nikako da smršate? Možda treba da jedete VIŠE

Brojite sebi svaki zalogaj, a i dalje niste zadovoljni svojim izgledom? Ishrana zasnovana na ograničenom kalorijskom unosu možda vas sprečava da postignete svoj cilj.

Let's just preface this by saying no, I did not have an ED. When I was eating 800 calories a day, I thought I was healthy. I was eating healthy food, but hardly any macronutrients. I was curious to find out what my macros were like before I actually started counting my macros, so I entered my old foods into @myfitnesspal to find out. I was quiet astonished to see how little protein and carbs I was eating. 800 calories seems absurdly low as now I need minimum 1500 calories to be full, but at the time 800 calories was keeping me full because that's what my body was used to. After a while though, salad simply wasn't cutting it, and for all the restrictions I was placing on my diet, I simply wasn't seeing the results I had anticipated. So I got in touch with a PT and nutritional coach and got my macros sorted. When he first told me to eat 50% carbs I nearly died! I was eating about 10% carbs before and could not fathom how 50% carbs would not make me fat. I also freaked out at all the calories. I've been keeping an excel spreadsheet and in the first week of being on macros my average calories for the week was a little over 1000. I remember how hard I struggled to actually eat the size of my meals. I would just put my lunch next to my desk and eat it over the course of 3 hours as I couldn't eat it in one sitting! Now my stomach can take way more and is much happier! In the second week I was averaging 1600 calories a day! It didn't take long for my body to catch up. A part of me may always have that mindset that relates not eating with weight loss and "being good today". Sometimes I may forget to eat lunch just because I got busy and for a second I will revert back to old thinking, and think "ohh, I've done really well today and haven't eaten much at all." That's why I love tracking my macros. It will tell me "Maddy, you need to eat more. Go eat 3 potatoes". And I'll pat myself on the back for being healthy and doing really good today! If you're under feeding yourself in an effort to lose weight, don't do what I did for so long. Don't waste your time eating salad when you could be eating sweet potatoes and banana pancakes. Eat more and get fit. It actually works

"Ako se izgladnjujete da biste skinuli kilograme, nemojte da pravite istu grešku koju sam ja napravila", kaže ona, dodajući da se njena kilaža nije promenila - sve vreme ova devojka ima 52 kilograma, samo sad konačno izgleda onako kako je oduvek želela.

Lekari podsećaju da je svaki organizam različit i da je pre bilo kakvog ozbiljnog plana za promenu načina ishrane, pa i života, potrebno konsultovati se sa stručnjacima. Restriktivan unos kalorija može se okrenuti "protiv vas" i zapravo vas sprečavati u mršavljenju.

Ako unosite manje kalorija nego što je vašem telu potrebno da bi normalno funkcionisalo, organizam uđe u stanje u kojem pokušava da sačuva koliko god može enegije, za svaki slučaj, pa tako i masne naslage sporije odlaze. Osim toga, ako ne unosite dovoljno proteina i zdravih ugljenih hidrata, rezultati napornog vežbanja neće se videti jer nećete uspeti da postignete definiciju i tonus mišića.
