The 2000 calorie diet: a perfect eating plan to lose weight without going hungry

2,000 calorie diets are standard for most adults, as this number is considered adequate to meet most people’s energy and nutrient needs. Even so, the
individual needs vary based on your age, gender, weight, height, activity level, and weight goals.

Calories provide your body with the energy it needs on a day-to-day basis. Because each person’s body and lifestyle are different, people have
different caloric needs. Depending on activity level, it is estimated that adult women require 1,600 to 2,400 calories per day.

However, caloric needs vary drastically and some people require
more or less than 2,000 calories per day. When the number of calories you burn is greater than the number you consume, you are in a calorie deficit, which can result in weight loss.

On the contrary, you can
gain weight when you consume more calories than you burn. Weight maintenance occurs when both numbers are the same. Therefore, depending on your weight goals and activity level, the appropriate number of calories to consume differs.

Can a 2000 calorie diet help you lose weight?

Following a 2,000 calorie diet can help some people lose weight. Its effectiveness for this purpose
depends on age, gender, height, weight, activity level and loss goals of weight. It is important to note that weight loss is much more complicated than simply reducing your calorie intake. Other factors that affect weight loss include your environment, socioeconomic factors, and even gut bacteria.

Breakfast/PEXELS

What is certain is that caloric restriction is one of the main objectives in
prevention and control of obesity. For example, if you reduce your daily calorie intake from 2,500 to 2,000, you should lose a pound in a week. But on the other hand, a 2,000-calorie diet would exceed some people’s calorie needs, likely leading to weight gain. However, the figure is a good guide and also a
good starting point For those who want to undergo a weight loss plan and find it very hard to start with a restrictive diet.

food to eat

A healthy, well-balanced diet includes plenty of whole, unprocessed foods. While it is vital to ensure
getting enough carbs, protein, and fatfocusing on food rather than macronutrients may be more helpful in creating a healthy diet.

Plan each meal including
high-quality protein and fiber-rich foodssuch as fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Also dairy products such as reduced or full-fat natural yogurt, kefir and cheeses, along with lean meats such as turkey, chicken, veal, lamb, veal, etc., as well as fish. The
legumes They play another important role, as do nuts and the ever-recurring olive oil, with all its healthy fats.

Studies suggest that adding a source of protein to meals and snacks may help promote
feeling full and help lose and maintain weight. Also, watching your carbohydrate intake and choosing the right types of carbohydrates can help you maintain weight.

Aperitif/PEXELS

Foods to Avoid

Is better
avoiding foods that provide little or no nutritional value, also known as “empty calories”. These are typically foods that are high in calories and added sugars, but low in nutrients. A small amount of these foods can ruin any nutritional plan and a goal of maintenance or weight loss. Run away from them.

The list of foods you should not eat is
simple and you can imagine: added sugars (baked goods, ice cream, candy), fast food, processed and refined carbohydrates (white bread, cookies, snacks, sugary cereals), fried foods, soft drinks and sugary drinks, etc.

But there is no reason to be strict either because
It’s okay to win a prize from time to time. It’s okay to occasionally indulge in less healthy foods. However, regularly eating the foods on this list can not only be detrimental to your health, but also delay or hinder weight loss or even disrupt your efforts to maintain weight.

The tricks you need to make your cheesecake perfect, told by the creator of the best-seller in Barcelona

With Easter just around the corner, and with it its delicious French toast, it seems that we have no appetite for other sweets. Except if it is a cheesecake, because there is always room for good desserts. And more if you can prepare them at home with the tricks you need to make it perfect, told by the creator of the
cheesecake Best seller in Barcelona.

An aeronautical engineer by training and a cook and pastry chef by vocation, this Bilbao native who has lived in Barcelona since he was six years old has become a
a real teacher of the cheesecakes. And a good example of this is the place that bears his name in Barcelona, which is so successful that sometimes they have to hang the “All sold/Sold out” sign on the door.

Cake, whose passion for cheesecakes comes from “I really liked them a lot,” explains over the phone that making a good cheesecake at home depends on several factors. «I think you have to do a lot of tests, because we always give tricks, we tell a thousand stories and really
every oven is a thingeach cream cheese works in a different way and each mixture is made in a different way”, he explains.

In his book Joncake: the
cheese cakes more gourmet, we can find dozens of different recipes and each of them has a cooking time. “But we have included a note that makes it clear that these times can vary greatly from oven to oven. If you put a very large cake in a small oven, it is not the same as in a larger one or in a professional one. “For me,” she continues, “one of the keys is that, testing, is premise number 1.”

The oven, key ingredient in cheesecakes

It is also important “that the oven is at maximum temperature, a few
220-230 degrees with air. This is important so that the cooking is rather homogeneous. If we do it with heat above and below, because there are many people whose ovens do not have air, I would even raise the temperature a little more ».

With this level of heat, cooking would be much faster, “about 20 or 30 minutes. The distance between 20 and 30 is a lot, but it depends on each oven. We cook
until it’s goldenthe time is around 23-27 minutes.»

In 20-30 minutes we can have our cheesecake ready. /JONCAKE

Continuing with the necessary materials to get a cheesecake that you will fall in love with, the pastry chef points out that a removable metal mold is preferable to make it, a material that “communicates heat better and helps
the cake cooks better from the outside in.” And he explains that he only puts baking paper between “the base of the mold and the cookie, I leave the sides without paper.”

After knowing our oven like the back of our hand, Jon Cake points out that another of the keys to making the perfect cheesecake is that we use «
quality ingredients, this is non-negotiable. If we want to make a quality cheesecake we have to start from something that is of quality”. Obviously, «there must be cheese present, which gives it a differential flavor. And if we want to do something different, we can go to other things ».

Nougat, cookies and donuts to accompany the cheese

The confectioner dedicates his own section in his book to these other things, with creations that are as innovative as they are surprising. Cheesecake and coffee with Lotus biscuits, your favorite, chocolate and smoked chilies, white chocolate and matcha tea, from
Jijona nougat, dulce de leche, Donuts. Jon has not stopped experimenting since he opened his own workshop and now he shares with us the tricks to make a cheesecake something more… If we feel like it.

As for the cheese, Cake reckons you can make a cheesecake “practically” out of
any cheese». «I have always said that for me the only ones that do not make sense to use are the soft ones, such as Burgos cheese, Mató or Ricottas. In the end, if you are going to use cream cheese, the flavor has a certain acidity and the presence of those cheeses will load, you will not notice any flavor. They only help you to get textures or lower intensity », he explains.

Cheesecake and donuts, because in the world of sweets there is no impossible union. /JONCAKE

Another of Jon Cake’s tricks to make his cheesecakes is to use a
kitchen robot, a grinder or turmix instead of a rod mixer, because the latter “incorporates a lot of air and the dough is not so fine.” And it is that the latter, the density of the dough, is another point to take into account when making this dessert, something that is achieved by adjusting the ingredients ».

«If we add a lot of cream, the cheesecake will be more liquid, and if we add
more cream cheese than cream the texture will be denser. In the end it is about playing with the amounts and correcting them based on the result”, he details. «»If when you make a recipe you see that later the cake has become very liquid, your thing would be to replace part of the cream with cream cheese, and if it is very dense, on the contrary».

The confectioner points out that, for him, and despite the purists, “it is very important to
cookie base And the butter, for me is something that makes the difference, because it gives it a crunchy touch and the flavor of butter”. “As a teacher of mine used to say,” she points out, “without a cookie it is “a dessert for people without teeth, the one without it is a creamy cake, the one that does add a crunchy touch that makes it more interesting.”

Taking the cheesecake out of the oven

When we have made the cake, Cake points out that we should keep an eye on the temperature. When removing it from the oven “it is important that it lose heat and then rest
an hour in the fridge, so that the texture acquires consistency. For those who are in a hurry, the cheesecake specialist points out that “fifteen minutes in the fridge for the temperature of the whole cake to balance” would be enough.

Although you have to take into account the outside temperature, the one with which the cake will be when it comes out of the oven, so it will not be the same to make a cake in winter than in summer, nor in Asturias than in Murcia. The ideal is «
let it rest when it comes out of the oven two or three hours” and then put it in the fridge for between fifteen minutes and an hour.

Joncake’s successful tiramisu. /JONCAKE

In
Joncake: the most gourmet cheesecakes The author has also included the recipes for some of the most popular creations, such as those by La Viña, Oriol Balaguer or Zuberoa, by Hilario Arbelaitz, his favorite because “I’m a fan of
blue cheese». With this section, Cake wants to pay tribute to its authors “because I managed to make my cheesecakes thanks to everything they had already done.”

And if tiramisu is your favorite dessert, the Planeta Gastro book also interests you, since the pastry chef has included his recipe. A license that has a good reason because “my wife doesn’t eat cheesecake, because she doesn’t like cheese, but
Tiramisu He freaks out even though it has mascarpone. When we met, I made a tiramisu cheesecake for her and now it is one of the best sellers and the one that our clientele likes the most », he confesses.

Unlock the mobile app—unless you get Plex Pass, you can’t stream your home media to your mobile devices;

Access the Plex Labs apps—you get Plex Dash, which is a handy dashboard to monitor your server, and Plexamp, a beautiful music player;

Record TV content—you can schedule and manage your DVR recordings via most platforms, including your PlayStation;

Watch trailers and extras—you can access extra content for your home movies and TV shows, including interviews and behind-the-scenes material;

Add lyrics to your songs—you can add lyrics to your music via LyricFind;

Skip credits and intros—we know you are bothered by intros and outros when binging your favorite shows. Premium Plex allows you to skip them!

Use Hardware-accelerated transcoding—perhaps the most essential addition to Plex Pass since it allows for smooth media conversion and playback;

Apply HDR to SDR tone mapping—if you want to preserve HDR video colors when streaming it to SDR devices, you need this feature!

Early preview access to new features—be the first to know about and test all recent Plex developments with Plex Pass.

While only some of the above benefits are usable on your PS5, you can still try them out after installing Plex on your other devices.

That said, if you believe that Plex is the app for you, you can also get lifetime access to its premium features with a one-off payment of $119.99.

Issues with the Plex App on PS5

Typically, using Plex on PS5 is a hassle-free experience, but some app issues are known to crop up now and then, the most common of which include:

Missing format support—while Plex supports a variety of formats and codecs on other platforms, the PlayStation media support is limited. To avoid any playback issues, stick to using MP4 files in a 1080p or lower resolution;

Buffering Issues— users also report frequent buffering issues even for lower-resolution videos (1080p), which are most likely the result of outdated codecs and/or an unreliable network connection. However, while you can upgrade your network, there’s nothing you can do about the PS5 capabilities to transcode your files properly;

Lack of support—last but not least, unlike the main Plex apps for desktop and mobile, the PS5 one is not updated regularly and does not get the necessary attention from the Plex support team. So, users with an issue are left to fend for themselves.

As you can see, you shouldn’t expect any issues with Plex on PS5 as long as you stick to standard 1080p resolution and have a decent home network. That said, when playing 4K videos, you’re better off using Plex on a different device.

Bottom Line

Now that you know Plex is free on the PS5, you should install it the next time you boot up your console. That way, you’ll greatly expand its functionality from a gaming platform to a full-blown entertainment center that meets all your media streaming needs. Just remember, to get the best experience, you need to purchase or subscribe to Plex Pass.
