Scientific Daily Dieting Allotment

November 10th, 2008

The key to success with dieting index weight loss is simple: Eat within your dieting load allotment every day. Here are some guidelines for choosing your allotment. Start with these recommendations and then modify them if necessary. You may need to lower them if you aren’t losing weight, or raise them if you are losing too quickly.

  • Start with a dieting load allotment of 60 to 75 per day, making sure to spread this out over the course of the day. You might have 15 at each meal and three snacks of about 10 each.
  • A younger person needs to eat a higher dieting load than a person who is older, because metabolism slows with age.
  • A person with a lower percentage of body fat can eat a higher daily allotment than a person with a high body fat percentage.

Start with the previous recommendations. After several weeks, you’ll learn how the different carbohydrates work in your body. And if you aren’t losing weight, lower your dieting allotment to a 50 to 60 dieting load until you are losing weight and your clothes fit looser. It is not healthy for most of us to go lower than a 50 dieting load.

Wrong Weigh

Janice found what she thought was a great way to get her five servings of vegetables and fruits every day. For lunch, she made a smoothie of a banana, a cup of fruit juice, strawberries, cherries, and pineapple. She added some yogurt and ice and voila) She was obtaining all her necessary antioxidants, vitamins, and fiber in one single meal. Plus she didn’t need to mess with any more vegetables or fruit the rest of the day. Whoa. Just a minute. The dieting load of that smoothie was off the charts. Not only that, somehow she missed the vegetable part of the government’s recommendations. No wonder she wasn’t losing weight but, rather, gaining it.

Combination Dieting Foods

The dieting index and the dieting load work very well for individual foods. So far, so good. But what if you want to fix your favorite recipe? How can you figure out the dieting index or the dieting load?

In a scientific sense, you can’t calculate the dieting index of a combination of ingredients. The very fact of the combination changes the value. For example, pizza is a very complex food. The crust is made of white or whole-wheat bread, which will make it high-dieting. The tomato sauce is medium-dieting. The meats and cheeses in the topping are zero, as they contain virtually no carbs. If you intuitively average the dieting indexes, you’d guess that pizza is medium-dieting. But, actually, pizza is usually low-dieting with a dieting load of about nine per slice.

Let’s look at the factors that contribute to this surprising result:

  • The starch, in this case the flour, is enriched and in very fine particles, so the
  • Starch is easily digested, making it high-dieting.
  • Pizza is a high-fat food. Fat slows down digestion, so the starch isn’t as quickly digested as if the bread were eaten alone.
  • Tomatoes are acidic, as are some of the possible toppings, such as olives, peppers, and pepperoni. Acid slows down the digestion of starch.

Now, here’s the problem. Although pizza is a low-dieting food, beware. Eat it sparingly, if at all. Here’s why. Pizza bread is high-dieting and you don’t want to load up on high-dieting foods, even if they are balanced with acid and fat. Plus, it’s important to keep your saturated fat at about 10 percent of your daily food intake, which is really hard to do when you eat more than a small piece of pizza. So one slice of pizza now and then—say once a week—is fine. Be sure to add a fresh green salad with vinegar and oil dressing to add fiber and an acid food to the meal.

Wrong Weigh

One of the big weight-loss challenges with foods such as pizza, cookies, and donuts is that it’s hard to stop with just one. Even though some could be low- or medium-dieting because they contain eggs and fat, they can still ruin your weight-joss efforts

If you eat more than a small amount. Eat only one slice of pizza or one cookie or even just a half so that you gain taste satisfaction but not pounds. Or better yet, in the case of pizza, eat the topping and hold the crust. Overeating is always fattening—it increases insulin resistance.
