Just now I posted a comment about calorie restriction for weight reduction while replying to a comment. I think it will be useful for others who might not see that comment, hence posting the information below. Any questions are welcome. I am not an expert in it, but I will try to give answers based on my current knowledge. If I don't find answer, let's try to find out answers. But all the questions are welcome. Naidu sir had said once - "No question is a foolish question"
I have mainly reduced it by calorie restriction. It is such an interesting thing to know that our daily calorie requirement is 2000 KCal on an average and if we will create calorie deficit (for example taking only 800 KCal a day and in this way creating a deficit of 1200 KCal daily), body will use it's enegy stores, which are fats. When a deficit of 7000 KCal is created, 1 kg weight is reduced. So restricting the calories (not food) is the best way to reduce weight.
Science is about measurement, hence I make use of measurement as the biggest tool. I have brought kitchen weighing scale and I can precisely monitor the number of calories I am taking.
It is all game of calories as I understand it.
Exercise is important too but it is secondary to calorie restriction and I try to do it as per time and my mood. :P

ReplyDeleteAll normal foods increase insulin to some degree, unless you eat pure fat. Since most people don’t drink a cup of olive oil for dinner, we can safely assume that most people eat meals that have some combination of carbohydrates, proteins and fat. Thus all foods increase insulin to some degree, but some will raise it more than others. That simply implies that some foods are more fattening than others, even if exactly the same number of calories. This is just pure common sense and exactly what your grandmother would have told you, after chastising you for having no brains. Except for academic obesity specialists and researchers, who is foolish enough to think that 100 calories of brownies is equally fattening as 100 calories of kale salad? The calorie hypothesis — it’s a trap!
