Nutrition is one of the most important aspects in weight loss, but with so many conflicting recommendations it’s pretty hard to be sure what to look for. Nutrition Specialist and Dietitian Weight Loss Programs at Ragaz Yvonne von Salis Resort shares his knowledge.
1. HOW DO I KNOW HOW MANY CALORIES PER DAY I NEED TO USE?
The baseline metabolic rate is based on a formula that takes into account age, gender, height and weight.
In addition, it is important to consider your daily activities or exercise.
All this gives information how many calories you need per day.
2. WHAT KINDS OF PRODUCTS DO I NEED EVERY DAY?
Vegetables and salads rich in vitamins, minerals and dietary fiber. However, protein is also important; it should also be present in your daily diet.
Proteins give you important amino acids, vitamins, minerals and fatty acids.
In addition, you need to use high-quality oils, which are important suppliers of essential fatty acids.
Remember to drink at least two liters of water per day, preferably without gas.
3. ARE THERE DIETS THAT CAN HELP AVOID HEART PROBLEMS, AVOID DIABETES OR AGE-RELATED PROBLEMS?
Yes, but it is not a matter of age, it is a matter of weight and the conditions of your life.
4. WHAT FOODS ARE FOR WEIGHT LOSS, WHAT FOODS ARE NEEDED FOR A DIET?
Food with lots of protein and green tea. In our weight loss program, we give the patient protein shakes from Winforce ®.
Depending on the individual program - Shake will replace one or two meals a day. There are cocktails with different tastes.
5. IS CARBOHYDRATE BAD?
They are, in principle, not harmful. But, if you do not carry out any activity or exercise, you need less carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are sugar, and sugar is fat.
We recommend that you also eat less sugar, as sugar is a pure toxin for the body. The goal of our weight loss program is to burn fat.
6. WE HAVE ALL HEARD ABOUT GOOD AND BAD FATS, THEN WHAT SHOULD WE EAT TO GET GOOD FATS AND WHAT SHOULD WE AVOID?
Avoid junk food and convenience foods whenever possible. Such foods contain a lot of saturated trans fatty acids, which we absolutely do not need.
You need to use high-quality oils, such as olive, canola, soybean, peanut, linseed oil, which are an important supplier of essential fatty acids. You also want daft like walnuts, almonds, flaxseed, and food fats.
7. DO YOU RECOMMEND GETTING VITAMINS FROM FOOD OR FROM NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTS?
If your daily diet includes vegetables, salads, and protein (a balanced diet), you can opt out of the supplement. But, in the case of a laboratory-confirmed defect, it is worth considering the use of high-quality additives.
8. HOW MUCH WATER PER DAY DO YOU NEED TO DRINK TO BE HEALTHY?
It depends on how active you are. It is recommended to drink 1.5 - 2 liters per day.
9. IS COFFEE BAD FOR MY HEALTH AND WEIGHT?
Excessive consumption of coffee will take away too many minerals and water with urine. 3-4 cups of coffee per day or other caffeinated drinks is normal.
10. IS IT TRUE THAT WE SHOULD EAT A MAXIMUM OF ONE EGG PER WEEK, OR EVEN LESS?
If you have no problems with cholesterol, no matter how many eggs you eat per week. If you have high cholesterol, you should not eat more than 3 eggs a week.
11. NOT HAVING BREAKFAST IS BAD?
It depends on the person. If skipping breakfast does not lead you to consume too much food at lunchtime, skipping breakfast is not scary.
12. IS IT GOOD TO BE A VEGETARIAN?
Vegetarian food gives you access to a good supply of nutrients. It all depends on you - did you know how to eat properly so as not to miss vitamins, minerals, trace elements (for example, iron, zinc, B12, etc.).
