Diet and Exercise for Weight Loss
Hi! I would like you to reconsider your decision. Insufficient information regarding your height, weight, gender and diet pattern is available. Do not make up your mind without relevant advice. Refer to a nutritionist or your physician regarding your ideal body weight. You can always follow certain guidelines to good health. If you are overweight, you need the help of a trained professional. A healthy diet comprises of cereals, pulses, vegetables, fruits, milk and related products and animal foods. Consumption of these foods helps in all possible ways.
Cereals such as whole grains, oats, whole wheat and rye contribute to carbohydrates and fibre. Pulses and legumes contribute to protein and certain vitamins. Vegetables and fruits provide all the essential minerals and vitamins. They also provide antioxidants, essential for free radical scavenging. Milk and milk related products provide protein and fats. Animal foods, such as fish, eggs, poultry and meat contribute to protein and certain minerals. Fats are used in a limited manner in the daily diet.
Keep a check on the intake of saturated fats, such as butter, clarified butter and hydrogenated fats. Intake of omega 3 fatty acids, as in flaxseed oil, soy, walnuts and others are recommended. Adequate amount of water (8-10 glasses) helps in the elimination of toxins and other metabolites.
