Consuming foods that contain a small amount of calories from carbohydrates can help maintain a healthy body weight. A study by the Journal of the American Dietetic Association, on the eating habits of Canadians, found that people who absorbed 47 to 64% (from 290 to 310 g) of their daily calories in carbohydrates were less likely to be overweight or obese than those who consumed a lower percentage of carbohydrates. Diets that are too low or too high in carbohydrates are more difficult to follow through, says Anwar Merchant, researcher and associate professor of epidemiology at the University of South Carolina (the conclusions of the study are consistent with Professor the recommendations of Health Canada).
2. You are 40 years old or more
If you want to avoid overweight quarantine, it is important to change your eating habits ... finished the daily muffin! "The more we age, we lose muscle mass, so our metabolism slows down, especially if we do not exercise every day," said Larry Tucker, a professor of exercise science at Brigham Young University in the Utah. In a recent study of 192 middle-aged women, Larry Tucker found that women who had adopted more stringent eating habits were 2.4 times less likely to take 6 or more pounds over a period of three years as who had less attention. On average, women have developed more stringent diet consumed about 200 fewer calories daily than women in the second group.
3. Follow a diet free treats
To avoid excessive consumption of unhealthy foods due to the permanent loss, it is important to allow occasionally a treat, like a good dessert or chips. Indeed, to prevent you from succumbing to temptation, it may be beneficial to consume some tempting foods, such as candy, rather than definitively exclude (just do not keep tempting foods in your home). A study in the Journal of Consumer Research, on the differences between concrete and abstract food temptations, has found that when women were exposed to candies (like M & M), but they were asked to do not eat, they were able to show a better self-control even when the candy was offered again. By cons, women who were shown advertisements or pictures of candy did less to resist the lure of real sweetie.
4. Catch the bad virus
Here's another reason to wash your hands: you'd better avoid catching adenovirus-36, a human virus that causes infections of the upper respiratory tract accompanied by symptoms resembling the flu or colds. This virus can also make you prone to weight gain. More common in obese, it seems to convert adult stem cells from fat cells. Screening conducted in the U.S. (there is no Canadian figures) indicates that approximately 30% of obese people have been exposed to the virus against 11% of those with normal weight. The animals were infected with adenovirus-36 took up to four times more weight than those who have not contracted.
Good luck to All !!
