As a result, they gain weight and become extremely unhealthy. And what is worse, they are not even bothered by it until they have health problems. The human body can only function properly if it is in good shape. Good shape requires exercises and a good diet. A good combination of both results in what we call a healthy and fit person.
Obese people who need to lose some weight must focus on both, their workout and their diet. A good diet contains a balance of every nutrient. The most important nutrients that the human body needs are proteins, carbohydrates and fats. The increases quantity of carbohydrates and fats in the meal can lead to fat accumulations in the body. A good amount of protein, however, goes against the effects of carbohydrates and fats. Proteins helps in building muscle instead of fat.
