the other day on TV2 aired what apparently is a space on healthy lifestyles and health tips called Activate, although in reality it resembles more a line in my humble opinion. In this space mentioned the so-called theory of compensation, which in theory more than 60% of women still.
This theory consists of the following: If you exceed a day or a meal, you should make up for it ” other day or meal, reducing the amount of calories. This theory is based on what we would understand it by common sense, but fails in the following compensating ” fail to save calories that we have gained more in that binge. to be exact, so we simply avoid a little clog up more, but just the same, will be gaining calories. Let us imagine that we have had one of those family meals where obviously we could not avoid eating more protein (the steak or lamb so rich), both FAT (the sauce so rich that you could not avoid or that cheese in the country), as sugar (curd of Grandma’s, aunt compote and similar). You get home and say, today don’t need dinner ”, according to the theory of compensation could do so, or you could even do a dinner very slight.
First of all, although you have eaten too one day, you can not avoid the rest of the day meals, takes a soup, or preferably a puree or a stew and a fruit. do this managed to compensate?, earned calories are calories earned and have become fat, and desconvertir them ” will cost horrors, but If you can help win more calories that day. Obviously, your needs for the day already have filled them, so Although cenes very light to compensate, this dinner will be calories that you burn do not and acumularás.
Solution? no, I feel, even not dinner, because it is more, will need these vegetables with its vitamins and minerals, and fiber, digesting correctly that binge.
My advice: do not compenses eating less, but doing more cardiovascular exercise on the day following.
