Something you don’t know about diet and weight loss



  You know that the obesity not only affect your look but also is the reason which causes some dangerous diseases. Your body weight is depended on how many calories you put in everyday. Calories come from protein, fat and carbohydrates. Macronutrients is one of factors to provide calories.

  Now, you will want to know how much each macronutrient should contribute to your diet. The answer is commonly expressed in percentages and referred to as micronutrient ratios, or simply nutrient ratios.
     Example:  40% protein, 25% fat, 35% carbohydrates

  In order to obtain best health, and the slim body that comes with it, you need to eat healthy foods. But it's not enough to simply eat healthy foods; the foods must provide a healthy balance of all three macronutrients.
There is no one set of numbers that is best for everyone, and the percentages that are best for you can change with your circumstances. At different times, you must choice the appropriate ratio depending on your goal: lose body fat, or gain muscle, or both. 

  The USDA Food Guide recommendations, based on a diet of 2000 calories per day, include 91 grams of protein, 65 grams of fat, and 271 grams of carbohydrates. This equates to 18% of calories from protein, 29% from fat, and 53% from carbohydrates. 

  However, the percentage for protein may be higher than the USDA recommendation because Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle is based on the concept of eating properly and exercising to ensure that you do not lose muscle while losing fat. Losing muscle causes your metabolism to slow and weight loss to stop.
Keep in mind that any diet plan proposing extremely low proportions of any of the three macronutrients may be designed for quick weight loss and have little chance of long term success. People often find that they tire of eating in such extremes and quit, rendering their diet a failure.

So you should have weight loss plan goals, and some determination to achieve your target.
Hope you will be successful!
