Stop worrying about your
weight, just eat right. Here are
five tips you need to keep in
mind. Have a healthy breakfast The cardinal rule to any weight loss programme is never to miss breakfast. And oatmeal, a
complex carbohydrate is ideal.
It is a satisfying breakfast
cereal, and compared to any
other grain it provides more
protein per serving. The fact that it takes longer to digest
and hence releases energy
slowly makes it perfect
because you feel full for longer.
Oats also keep blood sugar and
insulin levels stable, which helps prevent fat storage. Have
it with skimmed milk or
yogurt. Opt for skimmed milk Milk and its products are rich in
calcium and can help keep your
bones strong. Skimmed milk,
low fat cheese and yogurt
helps to break down fat cells. Bean it Foods that are high in fibre and
are good sources of protein,
can help you feel full for a very
long time. And that, will help
you control unnecessary
bingeing. Protein has a very high satiety index and that is
why make proteins an
essential part of your meals. Go for the grain Grains have complex
carbohydrates which during
digestion release glucose
slowly. Jowar, bajra and ragi
etc can help in maintaining
your blood sugars levels. The fibre and vitamins in them
play an important role too. Snack on nuts through the
day Stay away from fried and
salted nuts but you can munch
on raw, unsalted ones —
almonds, and walnuts. These
have essential roughage,
protein, fat, minerals and micronutrient.
A handful can keep hunger at
bay and provide energy.
