Does really the low-calorie food contribute to losing weight?

Introduction

Welcome to this site, where you can be informed about health and low-calorie food.

This blog is informative in nature, intending to advise readers on various food-related issues,  such as the procedure of consuming low-calorie food.

On this site, you can find scientific information written simply about food, diet and nutrition as there are issues that concern many people from all over the world.

The advice and the proposals are based on scientific proof but in any case, if you face any problem it’s advisable to take the opinion of your personal doctor as the information here is general and not a tailor-made therapy

To begin with, over the earth, two basic problems are met and should be dealt with by humanity, on the one hand, in the Western world where obesity is a threat to the developed world, and people search for a low-calorie diet and on the other hand residents from undeveloped countries suffer from malnutrition because of the barren soil, the overpopulation, poverty and so on.

In developed countries, many people associate weight loss with unpleasant experiences and negative emotions, which can have a significant impact on their mental and emotional health. These negative perceptions are often linked to the term "diet." Therefore, it's crucial to recognize and address these negative connotations by promoting a more positive attitude towards weight loss.

Of course, there is no magic recipe that individuals must follow precisely to achieve their personal goals, but here you can find ideas and options, as well as the option to make your own choice while respecting your own unique conditions of life, the standard of living, available time, characteristics and preferences

Analyzing the name

The name Smart Art Nutrition of this blog was not chosen randomly, so let us examine the name's words.

SMART

The necessary condition for adopting a healthy habit is to enjoy the entire procedure that leads us to the desired result rather than feeling oppression, deprivation, and bad psychology. Adopting a low-calorie diet doesn't always mean losing weight and sometimes,although the scale indicator depicts a reduced weight in reality, this is probably due to the loss of muscles as these are weightier than the fat. 

Using smart ideas in order to make the children love a healthy and low – calorie diet. In this case, low-calorie diet doesn’t mean products light that contain less fat or carbohydrates, after they have been processed but natural unprocessed food that has these properties and great nutritive value

The term smart characterizes many basic components of food such as motivating the kids to follow a more healthy but low-calorie diet using intelligent ways and rendering the plates happier and more attractive, adding colored vegetables in a nice shape, or forming homemade cheese pies and cakes in a good scheme that looks like their favorites heroes.

Adults find it extremely difficult to reach their ideal weight because it requires them to give up delectable foods and occasionally avoid social situations.

And in this case low-calorie diet isn’t exclusively the best solution, as other factors define the activation of metabolism such as the intake of proteins and also on this site you can find smart and easily made recipes in order to prepare tasty food.

Another factor that must be taken into account is the use of smart cooking devices that have replaced traditional methods of cooking such as frying which burdens the food with extra calories and no nutritive value. Most of these devices or state-of-the-art cookers have managed to cook perfect meals using easy and simple recipes made from healthy and low-calorie materials, respecting the priceless time of working people as they don’t demand much preparation time.

For example using a steamer you can prepare low-calorie meals, made from vegetables and legumes with great nutritive value adding a tasty sauce from yogurt, mustard and olive oil.

The latest trend in healthy nutrition takes into account the busy schedules of working individuals and housewives who have many responsibilities. As a result, there are many recipes available that can be prepared quickly and with minimal effort. An old saying suggests that the key to success is not how much effort you put in, but how you approach the task.

Smart nutrition also relates to the type of food that you consume independently if it is a low-calorie diet, so some types of  high–calorie food can boost your metabolism so you can burn more easily the calories and also it can provide you with the necessary energy to follow a workout.

So, the conclusion is that other factors define our external appearance such as the distribution of muscles and fat in our body, our physical situation, and our psychological condition.

Enhancing our psychological condition implies a stronger will, and more incentives to follow a healthier way of life.

ART

Concerning the word art, let’s start with the basic definition of art is the expression or application of human creative skill or imagination,  in a visual form such as painting, or sculpture, or in a feeling that triggers the odor, producing results that can be appreciated for their beauty or their power to trigger feeling and senses.

 Art transforms lives, improves mental health, and positively impacts the entire spirit and body.

Visually, an attractive dish boosts people to consume it, and gives them pleasant feelings, creating a sense of art, although this sense has a limited duration. The visual sense many times affects the taste, so many times people enjoy the content of this dish.

A factor that plays a key role in food consumption is texture. The importance of texture is met in many types of products as this issue is related to the food psychology of people. Crispy food such as chips, attracts people and many times relieves stress so replacing chips or other crispy junk food with crispy legumes or nuts, consequences are positive for our body and our psychology.

Traditional art is linked to the ritual of food, and this is proven that the environment of a table is diligent, during a meal is paid attention to cutleries and crockery, in order to create pleasant feelings and senses.

Another argument that proves the linkage of food with art is the depiction of food in paintings created by famous painters and decorating iconic and historical buildings or formal meeting rooms

According to the above definitions, cooking is considered a type of art because it allows you to experience the joy of creation and furthermore stimulates four other senses at the same time: vision, smell, touch and most importantly, taste.

NUTRITION

Nutrition is the branch of science that deals with the study of food that we consume, and also the ways that our body uses their various components

The term of nutrition has been used since the dawn of humanity. These days nutrition was determined and depended on the availability and palatability of different kinds of food. In the beginning, cooking was developed through trials and succeeded and unsucceeded when people were trying to prepare their food.

The basic requirement for our body's function is energy. Energy is necessary for every daily function such as job, household chores, walking, discussing, running, setting the body's heat and even sleeping energy is basic for the right function of internal instruments such as the lungs, heart and so on.

For individuals, energy comes only from food, and different types of food give us different amounts of energy. The amount of energy is defined by the food composition and food rich in fat usually gives a great amount of energy.

For example, 100 gr of pepper gives less energy than 5 grams of butter. In conclusion,  concerning energy, food's composition defines the amount of energy.

Poor nutrition can cause fatigue, digestive issues, food allergies, weight gain, depression, and anxiety, as well as many of today's most common chronic diseases, such as coronary heart disease, cancer, and ADHA. Having nutritional knowledge and making informed food choices can help you maintain optimum health throughout your life.

It's worth saying that healthy nutrition doesn’t always mean low-calorie food

On the other hand, by optimizing nutrition, it is possible to treat a variety of physical as well as mental diseases

It's widely known that by eating we intervene in the interior of our organism and create the ideal conditions to disappear disorders or alleviate the body from various illnesses and enhance with the right way the immune system.

Nutrition is an important aspect of health and development. Better nutrition is associated with better infant, child, and maternal health, stronger immune systems, safer pregnancy and childbirth, a lower risk of noncommunicable diseases (such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease), and longer life
