Diet therapy in elderly patients with obesity in, and shaping the body build

Diet is a weight loss of older persons in the most basic measures, take the calorie diet, the body's total energy intake is lower than consumption of thermal energy, forcing the body fat mass consumption, in order to achieve the objective of reducing weight.

In diet control, the general decline in the total amount of food, but essential for protein, vitamins, minerals including trace elements must have a sufficient supply. Calorie, low-carbohydrate, high protein diet is the diet in the treatment of obesity.

Calorie diet forcing body in large consumption of adipose tissue, but at the same time could not completely consume the body's proteins, in order to replenish the consumption of protein, dietary protein ratio must be increased.

Carbohydrates in the digestive tract is broken down into glucose absorption, glucose is stimulated pancreatic secretion of insulin by the most powerful stimuli. Synthesis of insulin may promote fat, fat decomposition suppression.

In addition, too many carbs, the remaining portion may be converted into fat in the body fat accumulation penalties.

It reduces carbohydrates are promoting fat decomposition, inhibits fat synthesis of necessary measures. Many people erroneously believe that obesity is caused due to excessive nutrition, dietary restrictions on meat, eggs, and other high-protein food intake, resulting in increased hunger instead, increased the carbohydrate content of grain and other food intake, body weight, on the contrary, is increasing.

Obese patients recipe, fish, milk, dairy products, eggs, poultry, bean food proportion may be appropriate to increase the number of vegetables, fruits, grain must be increased to reduce livestock meat, less or no sugar and sugar products such as bakery, confectionery, fruit juice, rarely used cooking oil, cooking is rarely used frying method, use shredded, stewing, advocated a low salt diet, proper limit alcohol consumption.

According to obesity, age and health status, use different diet therapy.

1. continuous calorie diet therapy.

Calorie diet of thermal energy intake to vary from person to person.

Mild obesity just restrict food fats and carbohydrates.

Eat peanuts, sunflower seeds, and other high-fat snacks, making the total calorie intake is lower than consumption, make monthly weight 500 a 1000 grams of weight, with a view to achieving progressively.

Moderate or more obese, to patients intolerant of gradual reduction of heat within the intake.

No serious heart and lung, renal complications before the treatment daily staple 0.5 kg patient, treatment begins daily heat supply 1200 a 1500 kcal, protein per kilogram of body weight and supply 1.0 — 1.5 g, carbohydrates: a total of about 150-200 grams, the remaining 20% of total calories, a 30% from fat.

At the same time to give plenty of vitamins, minerals and trace elements.

For a few weeks after the weight does not decrease, the Visual can withstand the heat energy intake will reduce the total amount to 1000 kcal, 800 kcal, 600 kcal, up to 200 kcal. If the weekly weight reduction 500 g, patients feel easy and effective, willing to activities, treatment results even satisfied. If you are losing weight too fast, patients feel tired, apathetic, must be strictly observed, and adjustments to the diet.
