IDEAL DIET FOR OBESE PERSONS

An over weight person is one whose weight is above normal. The extra weight makes demands upon his heart, his blood circulation, his back and the whole of the body skeleton. It is not surprising therefore that overweight people often have heart disease and hypertension, diabetes and other chronic disease. The need for the overweight individual to shed the extreme weight can be due to increased muscular development or it could be due to excessive fat accumulation in the adipose tissue.

Gaining or losing weight is simply a question of  balanced food calories within the body needs for calories. Therefore the diet for overweight people should be low in calories. Food items like fat and carbohydrate should be reduced drastically while a higher protein should be consumed. This is desirable because it helps to correct the greater losses of muscle tissue that occur during reducing. Generous amounts of fresh vegetables and fruit should be consumed to supply the needed vitamins and minerals. Meals of a low- calorie diet should be attractive and palatable. Meats, fish and poultry should be free from fat and should be prepared by boiling, roasting steaming. The low calorie diet should be accompanied with regular exercise for it to be very effective.
