Before coming to diet
food, it is important to know diet. If we go through its Dictionary Definition,
diet means a special course of food that is restricted to a health-conscious
person, either to lose weight or for some medical exigencies.
Shedding some extra
kilos is one of the most daunting tasks for the generation of today. It
requires enormous will power, grit and disciplined mind. Doing the things that
is right, and not what you like, is of course not simple. Staying away from the
food that is irresistible is of course a big challenge.
But, if you keep on
doing the things that you have been doing, you will keep on getting the things
that you have been getting. Simply put, if you keep on binging on the foods
that do not augur well for your body, you will keep on getting extra flab, sans
any signs of improvement.
Given below are some secret tips for weight loss that need to be
followed:
Take Balanced and Nutritious Diet: No matter whether
you consume small or sumptuous food, the first and foremost thing that you need
to take into consideration is that it must contain the food from all the food
groups in the right proportion—vegetables, fruits, proteins and daily. You must
eat nutritious and balanced diet.
Choose the Food that you Enjoy: Your diet should
never be boring. It will be a prudent move for you, if you choose any regular
food that you enjoy eating. Make your diet healthier. For example, if you enjoy
Dosas, you can make it with some healthier ingredients, like oats.
Be Mindful of the Portion that you Eat: No matter what is
the food that you choose, exercise strict control over the portion that you
eat.
Your Calorie Intake should not Exceed 1200-1500 Calories per day: Just ensure that
your calorie intake does not cross 1200-1500 calories. It will be nice if you
stick to 3 meals of about 300-400 calories. You can also enjoy 3 mid-meal
healthy snacks of around 100 calories. In order to track the calorie count of
the food that you take, you can take help of online tools.
Take the Food of your Choice Once a Week: Take whatever food
you fancy throughout the week, once in a week. The intake of that food will
stop your cravings for those foods and at the same time, rev up your
metabolism.
Include Exercise in your Routine: Along with dieting,
include exercise of some form to ensure reduction of body weight. Working out
for 30 minutes to 1 hour in a day will be a sagacious move. You may include
some walking and some moderate exercises.
Never Skip Breakfast: Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and
the most important component for weight loss. Apart, do not make your dinner, a
midnight affair. Try to get your dinner by 8 p.m.
Say no to Oily, Fatty and Sugary Foods: Avoid these foods
as much as you can. Apart from these foods, also avoid the processed food. Your
food should contain low calorie and low carbohydrate foods. Include lots of
fruits, salads, buttermilk in your meal and have healthy snacks so that you can
stand aloof from junk food.
