How does weight loss work?

Weight loss works based on “calories in, calories out”, i.e., you need to be burning more calories than you take in through your daily food intake. The key to managing your weight successfully is in ensuring that the calories that you consume do not exceed the calories that you use. There are also other factors to consider such as your age, body type and metabolism, on top of lifestyle factors such as your daily habits that all come into play into weight gain or loss.

Limit Your Salt Intake for Weight Loss

Blog, Weight Loss

High consumption of salt can lead to rapid weight gain. That is because the storing of extra fluids in the body is accelerated by the presence of sodium, and extra fluids in the body add to your body weight. Hence, if you are trying to lose weight, reducing your salt intake is something you can try out. There are other benefits to reducing salt consumption; for instance, it helps in controlling blood pressure for those that are suffering from high blood pressure.

According to the American Heart Association, the recommended level of salt intake for an average adult is 1 teaspoon per day. For those who are suffering from high blood pressure, this limit falls further down to around 1500mg, which is around ¾ of a teaspoon of salt. When you reduce your daily salt consumption, you may experience a rapid, but limited weight loss in the beginning. If you want a more moderate weight loss, you should try limiting salt on a regular basis.

How to reduce salt intake?

Salt is a common household ingredient that we usually cannot go without as it is naturally present in many foods, and is also an essential seasoning item that people use very regularly. So how can we reduce our salt intake?

As you will likely consume a larger amount of salt from processed and ready-made food, you can try cooking healthier food by yourself at home. That will not only limit your salt consumption but also help you to avoid the consumption of high calories, fat and oil that is associated with junk food. Cooking at home will not only help you lose weight but will also keep you healthy and help you save money! Still, if you can’t avoid eating outside of your home, you should still be cautious about the sodium level in the food.

Drinking plenty of water can also help you in limiting the sodium content in your body, thereby helping you lose weight. Water is often said to be the cure for many inherent and common diseases. Increasing your intake of water is easy, and can be easily done by eating more fresh fruits and vegetables. There is no better way to do that than by cooking meals yourself, despite how tiresome and boring cooking can be.

In addition, you should be concerned about consuming processed food labelled ‘no-salt-added’ because they may contain an unhealthy amount of saturated fat and a high-calorie level.

If your taste buds are used to consuming food that is laden with a high amount of salt, you may have difficulties in limiting your salt consumption in the beginning. However, with a little time, you will soon be adjusted to having food that has a lower amount of salt in them. If you are really motivated to achieve your desired weight loss, you will definitely get through the war with your taste buds.

However, if you find that following a weight loss program in Singapore will be better for you, you should consider joining a program. With the help of a program, you will likely lose more weight if you follow the diet and exercise plans offered.
