Hi! Insufficient information regarding your age, physical activity and dietary pattern is available. A diet plan is a modification for an already existing plan and I can provide you better help, if I know your daily eating pattern. I shall list down a few guidelines and tips for healthy eating, which you can incorporate in your daily schedule to lose the extra pounds.
- Decrease the number of calories in every meal. Avoid skipping meals, especially breakfast. Skipping breakfast increases hunger pangs by the end of the day. A healthy and nutritious breakfast helps with lower calories throughout the day.
- Increase the complex carbohydrate and decrease the fat in the diet. Opt for whole grains, cereals, fruits and vegetables. Fresh vegetables and raw fruits supply a lot of phytonutrients and antioxidants; thereby act as free radical scavengers. Include them in the daily diet in the form of salads. Consider baby carrots and cherry tomatoes, as part of your intermediary snacks. Pretzels and whole grain crackers also help.
- Weight loss is always associated with deprivation or starvation. Skipping a meal and compensating for the same in the next meal fails to help. Replace meals with liquids and shakes that provide fewer calories. Binge eating or nibbling between meals is the greatest culprit that contributes to weight gain. Abstinence from alcohol and carbonated beverages helps, as they provide empty calories, devoid of any nutrients.
- Avoid eating out. Always try to eat at home. This helps in cutting off the extra fat. Home made meals are more reliable in terms of hygiene and cleanliness. The risk of overeating is greater, when eating out. Take a single serve. Healthy snacks, in between meals that are allowed are low fat yoghurt, fruits and so on. Avoid extra servings.
- Adequate amount of water is important for toxin removal or detoxification. About eight to ten glasses of water proves helpful.
- Chew and eat slowly. This allows the brain to signal, when the stomach is full. Stop eating, the moment you feel full.
- Exercise in a regular manner helps. I would recommend about thirty to forty five minutes of daily exercise. Walking, jogging and swimming are certain exercises that help in weight loss and fail to call for any sophisticated equipments. Daily household chores, such as dusting, scrubbing the floor, cleaning the car and so on are different forms of aerobic exercises.
