Plan prehrane od 2000 kalorija: 7

Prema Dijetalnim smjernicama za Amerikance (2015.-2020.), 2000 kalorija dovoljno je da udovolje dnevnim potrebama i vode zdrav životni stil (1). Odrasle žene trebaju 1600-2400 kalorija, a odrasli muškarci 2000-3000 kalorija dnevno, što može varirati ovisno o dobi i tjelesnoj aktivnosti (2).

Ali ako vodite sjedilački način života i unosite više kalorija nego što vaše tijelo zahtijeva, debljat ćete se i riskirat ćete od bolesti povezanih s pretilošću. Dijeta od 2000 kalorija sa šest korisnih, ukusnih obroka i laganim vježbanjem pomaže smanjiti kalorije, pojačava metabolizam i pokreće vaš gubitak kilograma.

U ovom ćemo članku razmotriti plan prehrane od 2000 kalorija za 7 dana i hranu koju treba jesti te izbjegavati kako bismo maksimizirali zdravstvene prednosti ove prehrane.

Što je dijetalni plan za 2000. godinu?

Dijeta od 2000 kalorija je plan koji ograničava unos kalorija na 2000 kalorija dnevno.

To je početna točka za gubitak kilograma, a preporučuje se nastavak ove dijete tjedan dana prije nego što isprobate plan prehrane s nižim kalorijama. Nakon tjedan dana možete prijeći na dijetu od 1500 kalorija, a zatim na prehranu od 1200 kalorija kako biste izgubili na težini.

Uvijek se posavjetujte sa svojim dijetetičarom koji vam kalorijski raspon odgovara vašoj visini, težini, dobi i tjelesnoj aktivnosti.
