• Do you ever wonder why your favourite dress has suddenly lost its charm,why you don't feel like wearing your shorts in which you felt confident,maybe your stomach is a bit too bloated, maybe you don’t fit into your cute jeans anymore. You want to visit a function and look good in a dress but are too conscious of your body to flaunt it.

                           

So get off your beds and do something about it

I have got the best tips for you

1.Give It Time 

Eat your food slowly: Fast eaters gain more weight over time. Eating slowly makes you feel more full and boosts weight-reducing hormones

It also reduces your appetite significantly.

·       Eat 2–3 meals per day. If you find yourself hungry in the afternoon, add a 4th meal.

·       Reducing or missing your meals only makes you crave for more afterwards, it is a fascinating method for short run but for a longer period it is not beneficial

·       As it is hard to continue you diet you can take one day off per week where you eat more carbs. Many people prefer Saturday

·       Be aware that cheat meals or carb refeeds are NOT necessary, but they can boost some fat-burning hormones like leptin and thyroid hormones

2. Do Not Give Up Hope

                                                             

·   If you're losing weight but not as fast as you'd like, don't get discouraged. 

·      If you set your expectations too high, you may give up when you don’t lose weight fast enough. Remember, you start seeing health benefits when you've lost just 5%-10% of your body weight.

3. Sugar Is A Devil

                                               

·      We all know that sugar is fattening but honestly, it is scientifically proven that fatty thighs and the bloated belly are caused due to sugar consumption not fat consumption.

·      Fats are actually a key feature in dieting, eating fats with other nutrients helps you cut down on that cellulose and fit into the old jeans

·      Though ironically there are some fats that can make you fat 

.  However some recommended fats are:

Fat Sources

·       Olive oil

·       Coconut oil

·       Avocado oil

·       Butter

·      Sugary drinks are the most fattening produts you can put into your body, and avoiding them can help you lose weight

·  The real danger with sugar is not that it's inherently fattening. A gram of sugar is just 4 calories. And 4 calories will not make you fat. 

4. Low Starch Consumption

    

·      Starch products like rice, bread, roti , pasta, are all fattening products

·      As they are staple diet material , it is very difficult to give them up, but you can cut down on its usage

5. Not All Vegetables Are 

Diet Efficient

·      As we believe vegetables are healthy but some of them shockingly can lead to weight gain

  Low-Carb Vegetables

·       Broccoli

·       Cauliflower

·       Spinach

·       Tomatoes

·       Kale

·       Brussels sprouts

·       Cabbage

·       Swiss chard

·       Lettuce

·       Cucumber

                                

And a few more, there is a list of a few more vegetables that help to cut down fat in our bodies, help in water retention and release the cellulite. 

.Eat more fruits and vegetables.

.Fruit and veggies are low in calories and fat, and high in fibre – 3 essential ingredients for successful weight loss. They also contain plenty of vitamins and minerals. 

·      Makes you lose weight quickly, without hunger.

·      Improve your metabolic health at the same time.

6. Missing Meals Is Not The 

Answer

·      Eat a high-protein breakfast- Eating a high-protein breakfast has been shown to reduce cravings and calorie intake throughout the day

·      By missing meals you mess up your metabolic system, it slows down the process and leads to further cravings

·      It eventually makes you eat more , leading to fattening

·      The best "diet" is one where you get to eat more food, not less. 

. Eating at regular times during the day helps burn calories at a faster rate. It also reduces the temptation to snack on foods high in fat and sugar. 

7. No Means No

                      

Either close down the kitchen after a certain hour, or allow yourself a low-calorie snack

            

Eat several mini-meals during the day:

·      If you eat fewer calories than you burn, you'll lose weight. But when you're hungry all the time, eating fewer calories can be a challenge. "Studies show people who eat 4-5 meals or snacks per day are better able to control their appetite and weight," says obesity researchers.

·      Dividing your daily calories into smaller meals or snacks and enjoying most of them earlier in the day -- dinner should be the last time you eat.

·      Good fiber sources include oatmeal, beans, whole grain foods, nuts, and most fruits and vegetables.

• Some Additional Tips

1. Don't skip breakfast

Skipping breakfast won't help you lose weight. You could miss out on essential nutrients and you may end up snacking more throughout the day because you feel hungry.

2. Get more active

Being active is key to losing weight and keeping it off. As well as providing numerous health benefits, exercise can help burn off the excess calories you can't cut through diet alone.

3. Drink plenty of water

People sometimes confuse thirst with hunger. You can end up consuming extra calories when a glass of water is really what you need.

4. Eat high-fibre foods

Foods containing lots of fibre can help keep you to feel full, which is perfect for losing weight. Fibre is only found in food from plants, such as fruit and veg, oats, wholegrain bread, brown rice and pasta, and beans, peas and lentils.

5. Read food labels

Knowing how to read food labels can help you choose healthier options. Use the calorie information to work out how a particular food fits into your daily calorie allowance on the weight loss plan. Find out more about reading food labels.

6. Use a smaller plate

 Using smaller plates can help you eat smaller portions. By using smaller plates and bowls, you may be able to gradually get used to eating smaller portions without going hungry. It takes about 20 minutes for the stomach to tell the brain it's full, so eat slowly and stop eating before you feel full.

7. Don't ban foods

Don't ban any foods from your weight loss plan, especially the ones you like. Banning foods will only make you crave them more. There's no reason you can't enjoy the occasional treat as long as you stay within your daily calorie allowance.

8. Don't stock junk food

To avoid temptation, try to not stock junk food – such as chocolate, biscuits, crisps and sweet fizzy drinks – at home. Instead, opt for healthy snacks, such as fruit, unsalted rice cakes, oat cakes, unsalted or unsweetened popcorn, and fruit juice.

9. Plan your meals

Try to plan your breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks for the week, making sure you stick to your calorie allowance. You may find it helpful to make a weekly shopping list.
