Before getting into the topic, let’s first understand what is healthy fat and unhealthy fat. The healthy body fat is one that doesn’t get stored up in your body and provides energy for physical work. Unhealthy body fat gets stored up in your body and doesn’t get burned easily. It tends to make a person more lethargic.
So now, let’s dive into the tips and benefit our health.
START YOUR DAY WITH A HEALTHY DIET
As the saying goes, ‘Morning shows the day’, so is it with healthy habits. Start your day by giving your body a little healthy boost. Drink this concoction daily to improve your body metabolism. Take a cup of water in a saucepan and at a lemon in it (cut the lemon into two halves) and boil it. Do not remove the skin of the lemon. Remove the pan and squeeze the lemon thoroughly. Drink every morning before having your breakfast. The warm water works as a detox agent for the throat and the intestines. Lemon helps in cutting down the body fat and the oil from the skin of the lemon produces antioxidants that help in fighting the cancer cells.
PLAN OUT A HEALTHY DIET
Drooling over the sight of tasty and greasy food? Can’t control when it comes to biryani? Well, this is what you need to work on. Maintaining a healthy diet is an essential for weight loss. Your diet contains nutrients in proper proportion. Low carb diets have proved to be effective in weight loss. Here are some ways to maintain a healthy diet.
- Avoid the intake of sugar and starch. Carbs like sugar and starch, when removed from your diet, decrease your insulin level and eventually can reduce your appetite.
- Protein intake is a must. Consuming foodstuffs that are rich in protein are capable of boosting the body’s calorie loss. Some healthy sources of protein are chicken, lamb, shrimp, salmon, eggs, legumes and beans.
- Some low carb vegetables such as kale, broccoli, lettuce, cucumber, spinach etc. help in losing body fat.
- Consumption of healthy fats is an important thing as the body needs some kind of fuels to motor its physical activities. Sources of healthy fats include ghee and olive oil.
TIME YOUR MEALS
Employee 1- “ Its 2AM and we still haven’t finished our work”.
Employee 2 – “ and now am hungry”.
Employee 1- “ Me too. Hey let’s grab some snacks to munch on while we work”.
Stop right their peeps. This is the worst ‘SIN’ you would be committing when you want to lose weight. It is very important to maintain and follow a proper timetable for your meals. Avoid unhealthy snacking when you’re hungry. Drink lots of water to prevent untimely hunger pangs. It’s better if you break your meals and have them after a 3-4 hours’ interval. Replace the packet of potato chips with granola bars or oatmeal cookies or a handful of nuts such as walnuts or almonds.
BE PHYSICALLY ACTIVE
Even if you don’t have time to work out or go to the gym, still you can burn those fats by being physically active in your daily chores. For example, take the stairs instead of the elevator. If you are going to a nearby place, then just take a walk rather than using your vehicle. If you want to start a workout regime, then start by first analysing your body type. You can always look up in the internet for exercises that are apt for your body type. Try lifting some weights as it can help in losing those chubby fats around your arms. Concentrate on exercises that burn the extra fats of the body.
DRINK LOTS OF WATER
It is quintessential to take an adequate amount of water every day. Water lubricates the intestines and other parts of the body that increase metabolism. Hydration is the paramount need of the body. If your body is not sufficiently hydrated, then anything you do to lose weight will be worthless. Drink warm water before every meal to prevent yourself from over eating. You can also switch to beverages like black coffee or black tea without sugar, which have a high content of caffeine that improves and increases the rate of metabolism.
