How Eating Almonds and Peanuts Can Help you Lose Weight

Image
Yes, they are full of fat and they do help you lose weight! And we are talking about nuts here – especially almonds and peanuts. When trying to get lean, most people give up all forms of fat, and since nuts also have “fats” in them, they get ditched first! Unknown to many, the healthy fats in nuts can actually boost weight loss efforts. Before we begin to discuss how exactly almonds and peanuts can help you shed weight, we just want to bust the myth that eating nuts would cause weight gain or too much heat in the body – this is absolutely wrong! Healthy fats (that are abundantly found in nuts) motor up the fat-burning process. While it’s a task to find out which forms of fats are weight lossy friendly, “almonds” with their amazing mono-saturated fat content, oleic acid, palmitoleic acid content are considered a fat-burning food. Almonds are also nutrient-dense and the essential fatty acids lower cholesterol and help in maintaining a healthy heart along with being high in fiber, pr...

7 Best Cooking Oils For Weight Loss

Image
There’s a lot of bad press about how certain refined vegetable oils are highly inflammatory in nature and also have high omega-6 content, and can be counted as one of the factors that cause obesity. Most edible oils that we use in our day-to-day cooking go through heavy processing and chemicals are added to increase their shelf life. Picking such oils for cooking is a bad idea, especially while trying to lose weight because some may have high transfat content – and maybe the reason behind that stubborn belly fat. If you have got rid of junk food and have started counting every single calorie, changing your cooking oil as well will be hugely beneficial. In this post, we will list out better and healthier alternatives to your cooking oil. But before that, here are some facts about cooking oil you should absolutely know.

12 Best Things To Eat After a Workout

Image
People often wonder what works best for losing weight – dieting or exercise? If you ask any person who has lost a considerable amount of weight about what actually worked for them – they would unanimously give the credit to a healthy diet.

To lose weight successfully, a diet plan that promotes healthy eating like Rati Beauty diet works the best.

How To Lose Weight without Slowing Down Metabolism

Image
If you are trying to lose weight or struggling to maintain the current weight, keeping the metabolism robust should be high on the list of your priorities. Metabolism should be robust at all times because it is the process or chemical reaction in the body which converts calories (through the food you consume) into energy form. This energy is required to sustain all body functions, including growth and repair of cells, to run blood circulation, and to even perform something as basic as breathing. People who resort to crash dieting to lose weight realize that weight loss becomes stagnant after a certain point of time and that happens due to slow metabolism; where the extreme calorie restriction triggers an energy-conversation mode in the body, lowering the rate at which calories are torched. This slowing down of metabolism is to preserve energy and minimize use of fat reserves. If you are worried about a slumped-up metabolism, here’s how to lose weight without slowing down metabolism...

10 Minerals and Vitamins That Boost Metabolism

Image
Only a few people realize that poor nutrition is also a major reason behind weight gain. Filling meal plates with cheap an empty calories (via fast/junk food) can make a person deficient in nutrients that are essential not only to live a healthy life, but also to lose weight because they boost metabolism and are needed to metabolize fat. As we have mentioned above, until a few years ago, overeating and lack of physical activity were considered as the main reasons behind obesity. It’s not right to fix hunger with empty calories when you are trying to lose weight. While slashing calories, you have to absolutely make sure that you are cutting out empty calories and make room for nutrient-dense foods. Junk/fast food is high in sodium, sugar, transfat, and pack loads of calories which would be hard to burn at the end of the day. Switch to clean and healthy eating, follow the Rati Beauty diet, and add these nutrients to your diet to see effective results. 1. Protein: Many fitness instruct...

How To Preserve Muscle While Losing Fat

Image
When trying to lose weight, your main strategy should be to get the body to burn more fat instead of muscle in order to get a lean and well-toned look. Otherwise, fad diets that are based on food deprivation burn up muscle instead of fat and make you look famished. Also, when you start losing muscle, metabolism dips and fewer calories are burnt, making weight loss journey a struggle from there. When the numbers on the weighing scale are going down, make a wish that it’s all fat and you are not losing any muscle because muscles help burn more calories and keep metabolism robust!

So, more the muscles, more effectively the body torches up calories, and lose extra weight in the process.

We hear a lot of celebs saying they exercise so that they can eat more food! And they can eat whatever they want because they can burn it off in the gym next day.

12 Simple Ways to Eliminate Refined Carbs from Diet

Image
Dieticians and health experts always underline the importance of cutting out refined carbs from the diet and switching to complex carbs and whole foods instead, not only to lose weight but to improve overall health as well. Refined carbs can also be called “diet saboteurs” because they have high amount of empty calories without any significant nutrient value that get digested fast, raise blood sugar level, and trigger a sharp insulin response. As we all know, insulin is also a hormone that commands your body to store fat, and more the insulin spikes, more are the chances of all those extra empty calories getting stored as fat, especially around the belly region. Also, a daily diet rich in refined carbs makes it difficult to access stored body fat even with intense exercise routine because the body torches up carbs made readily available through food instead of stored fat. Taking into consideration all these factors, it would be a good idea to get rid of refined carbs, and in this post,...

7 Ways Digestive Problems Make It Difficult To Lose Weight

Image
Everyone says weight loss depends on watching what you eat, maintaining a calorie deficit, and exercising regularly, but there is increasing evidence that there’s a strong link between obesity and digestive issues. The function of digestive system is not limited to breaking down food and making absorption of nutrients easier. And don’t be surprised if we tell you that your gut has a great role to play in weight loss/weight gain, and some digestive issues might be the reason you are actually struggling to flatten out that belly fat. While most gastrointestinal conditions can lead to unintentional weight loss, there are certain digestive problems that actually make it difficult to lose weight. Smooth running (pun intended) of the gut is extremely important for overall health, more so if you are trying to get lean, because digestive problems can lead to mismanagement of calories, and as we all know, weight loss depends largely on the calorie game. Also, experts believe that the type of ba...

8 Changes in Body you Can See After Giving up Refined Carbs

Image
Who can resist the temptation of biting into a bar of rich chocolate or fight the urge to keep hands out of the cookie jar? All these treats satisfy intense sugar cravings, but they spell doom for your weight loss efforts because they are majorly made of refined carbs that health experts and dieticians warn you to stay away from if you are trying to get lean. Candies, white bread, pizza, doughnuts, cookies, burgers, chocolates, etc. have refined carbs that spike blood sugar and trigger an insulin response, and all the extra empty calories are tehn directed by insulin to be stored as fat in the body. The worse thing is that food with refined carbs (pizza, chocolates, cookies, biscuits, sweets, etc.) are highly addictive in nature since they spark up the reward center in the brain, and make trigger cravings for sugar and sweet stuff intense, and you keep craving for such food all through the day. On the other hand, complex carbs such as legumes, whole grains, vegetables, have compar...
