on nutrition

The first in an occasional series on nutrition and health did before the diet, and you will end up gaining weight.

Try not to eat foods at night that are high in complex carbohydrates. These carbohydrates can take longer to bum off, and therefore can tum into stored fat. Foods with complex carbohydrates in them include bread, pasta and cereal. The best thing to eat at night is fruit, which contains simple carbohydrates. If you check the labels on food, remember that the values are based on a 2,000 calorie diet. Not everyone's diet consists of 2,000 calories. If you want to find out what your daily calorie intake it, keep a food log for a few days of everything you eat. Then using a calorie counter, add up the calories from each of your meals. Do not judge yourself by how many pounds you weigh. Muscles weigh more than fat, so if you begin exercising, you will probably gain weight. Instead, judge yourself by how well your clothes fit and how well you feel.
