Health is wealth, in this connection
exercise and diet plays a pivotal role. Exercise is a must and it helps you to
stay fit &active. To continue this regime &routine, the body needs some
energy &this can be gained with the intake of nutritious and balanced diet.
Consuming more of junk food &lack of exercise leads to weight gain, in the
process of reducing weight few key points are to be noted. Let’s see what they
are:
^ Dieting does not have to be boring.
You can choose any regular food that you enjoy eating and make it healthier.
For ex; If you enjoy dosas, try make dosa with healthier ingredients like oats
&ragi.
^ Before starting to diet, a crucial
thing to remember is that while eating, you have to eat a nutritious and
balanced diet. It simply means that no matter how much less food you consume in
a day, it must contain food from all the food groups- whole grains, proteins,
vegetables and fruits and dairy in the right proportion.
^Portion control is the secret.
Irrespective of the food you choose, have a strict control over the portion you
eat. Make this too as a step by step process. Don’t reduce too much at a shot, this
will obviously lead to carving for more.
^Once in a week, enjoy your favourite
meal. This will reduce carving as well as speed up your body metabolism.
^Try to eat 3 meals &3 mid meal
snacks. There are many on line tools to help track the calorie count of the
food you take.
^ Keep yourself busy and stop
thinking always about diet, exercise and weight loss. The busier you are, the
less likely you carve for food.
^Dieting is recommended along with
exercise of some form in order to reduce body weight. It is good to work out
for half an hour to one hour a day. This should include some walking and some
moderate exercises.
^ Never skip breakfast. It is one
important meal that in fact helps in weight loss. Also, eat your dinner light
and early enough. Try to finish dinner by 8.00Pm.
^ Avoid fatty, oily and sugary foods
as much as possible. Also avoid processed food. Instead, try to include more of
low calorie and low carbohydrate food. Also, include lot of healthy snacks like
fruits, buttermilk, salads, etc. Always have these healthy snacks on hand
easily available so that you don’t end up eating junk.
^Set a reasonable time target and
expectations at a level.
