The best way to balance your energy levels is to consume food in line with daily requirements. These are set according to age, sex, your level of physical activity and physiological factors such as if you are pregnant or breast-feeding. To maintain a certain body weight, the energy you take in through your daily diet must be equal to the energy you spend. If you consume more energy than you use up, your body weight will increase; in other words, you will gain weight. Similarly, if through your diet you take in less energy than you expend, your weight will decrease.People often try to lose weight quickly, especially in the summer months, leading them to low-calorie “yo-yo diets.” However, these restrictive diets cause the metabolism to slow down, resulting in fast weight gain once a person goes back to his or her regular diet. Another consequence of such eating patterns is that the metabolism becomes even slower in the aftermath of the diet, pushing the body into a vicious cycle. So, how should we manage our weight? We put together some recommendations we thought might be helpful for you.
