Do You Need To Continue The Diet After Reaching The Correct Weight?

Most of you have a doubt whether to continue the exercise and diet after obtaining the target weight.
If you understand the basic of how you gain or lose weight,you won't have this doubt.
If the calorie intake equals the calorie burnt by your body,you maintain the weight.
If your calorie intake is more than the calorie burnt by your body,you gain weight.
If your calorie intake is less than the calorie burnt by your body,you lose weight.

You body gets calories from the food you take in.Your food contains three
major nutrients i.e. fat,carbohydrate and protein.

Your body gets 9 calories per gram of fat and 4 calories per gram of carbohydrate and protein.

An average person needs about 2500 calories daily.But it differs depending
upon your activities and body structure.

When you eat more calories than required by the body,your body stores the excess calorie as fat ,which increases your weight.For 3500 excess calories you gain one pound of body weight.

So first you decide your daily calorie requirement with the help of a dietitian

Maintain that calorie intake with the help of a food plan.

you can always have as much food as you want.But the food should be of right type .Of course you should be calorie conscious!

When you happen to eat more calories,you can always burn them by exercises.
