Healthy Eating and Weight Loss
Nowadays, a large portion of the population wants to lose weight, whether for health reasons or aesthetics. When deciding to start a fitness journey, most people choose to begin by exercising. This is an excellent start, but the truth is that it often may not be enough. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that physical activity isn’t important! Stick with me, and you’ll understand.
Have you ever heard of a calorie deficit?
A calorie deficit is simply burning more calories than we consume.
This is where many people get tripped up! If you think about it, a 45-minute spin class burns around 400-600 calories. A small popcorn at the cinema, without butter, has around 400 calories. See how easy (and quick) it is to consume back all the calories you worked so hard to burn? Additionally, many people start exercising and, unintentionally, end up eating more under the excuse of “Oh, I worked out, so I can.” The result can sometimes be the opposite, leading to weight gain. That’s why when we talk about weight loss, we say that 80% is diet and 20% is physical activity.
Having a healthy and balanced diet is the key to losing weight. By understanding the number of calories you should consume to shed those extra pounds, you can create a calorie deficit and, thus, achieve your goal! At this point, it’s important to seek the help of a nutrition professional who can calculate all your macronutrients according to your needs, always respecting your tastes and lifestyle.
Here at Fit Kitchen, we provide all the calorie information so you know exactly what you’re consuming. If you already know how many calories you need, you can order the Lean Plan on our website, which comes in small and large versions and is ideal for those looking to lose weight. The small version ranges from 1300-1500 calories, while the large version goes from 1650-2000 calories. Additionally, you can choose to order individual meals.
If you need help, we also offer a nutrition consultation that can assess your needs and customize an individual and personalized plan exclusively for you!
