My name is Magda, I'm 24 years old, weigh 72 kilos and measure 164 cm. I'm a bit overweight - what's the best way to lose weight?
Mrs. Magda, Indeed your BMI - that is, body mass index, is elevated as it amounts to 26.7 kg / m2. However, BMI is not entirely reliable because it does not take into account, for example, body structure. I do not know what type of build you represent (small or massive bones, whether you are muscular or not). It would be worth examining the level of adipose tissue and then determining exactly by how many kg you could reduce your body weight. As for the adjustment of the diet, I have too little information about you. First of all, it is about your he alth and nutrition history, i.e. whether you have any metabolic disorders, take medications permanently and what, in what amounts and intervals you usually eat. Physical activity is also important because its lack or high intensity determines how much, what and how you should eat. On a very general note, I can recommend 4-5 small meals (3 main meals and 1-2 snacks). Eating every 3-4 hours and eating other food 2-3 hours before bedtime. It is worth paying attention to the quality composition of your menu. It should include vegetables (including legumes) and fruit (with fruit up to 300 g), lean dairy products, poultry, fish and whole grain products (wholemeal bread, al dente cooked pasta, thick groats) large amounts of nuts and seeds. For more details and a safe diet for you, please contact your dietitian. This is the best solution if you want to permanently reduce your body weight. Best regards and good luck
