Eating right does not necessarily mean not eating unnecessarily. It is that we should eat everything in moderation, and not avoid certain foods unless of course, the doctor tells us to. Here are a few tips that will help.
Dont watch TV while eating. This leads to mindless eating which can trigger weight gain easily. Instead, sit at a table and eat slowly. Better still, converse with your family as you eat together. That way, eating becomes mindful and healthy.
Experts suggest eating an egg every morning to lose weight. Exchange artificially flavoured, processed and pre sweetened breakfast cereals with eggs which give us the protein and vitamins our body needs and helps us stay full for longer.
Eat oily fish twice a week. Oily fish are a storehouse of a lot of essential nutrients and omega 3s. It has been found that it is good for your heart, skin and also great for weight loss.
Consumption of red meat should be limited to two or three times a month. Nutritionists have found that meat has essential protein and it also makes you feel full for longer.
Avoid snacking in between meals. You end up eating far more calories than you actually require. Stick to your basic timely meals that are balanced with portions of proteins, carbs and vegetables.
Increase consumption of water and decrease consumption of expensive juices, fizzy drinks, and smoothies that are not home-made. It has been found that these sugary drinks are the reason for your flabby tummy. Have water when you are thirsty. You could also sip on antioxidant-rich green teas. Staying hydrated throughout the day keeps your system in perfect condition.
