7 Effective Ways To Stop Overeating When Anxious or Bored

Image
That bag of potato chips can sometimes seem to be the easiest way to get out of a stressful situation and a good option to fight boredom! Stress eating or emotional eating is a situation where someone eats to feel good and pleasant, to cope up with trauma, to relieve stress, to fill in for boredom, rather than to satisfy hunger. The food that emotional eaters choose are usually high-fat, high in sodium and sugar, of course calorie dense, and bundled with ingredients that are extremely unhealthy for the human body. We all know stress can hugely impact appetite – for some it shuts off the hunger switch while for a majority out there, the stress hormone cortisol can trigger cravings for salty, sugary, and fatty food. The problem is that it’s really difficult to have a “zero stress day” and when we depend on food to help deal with stressors, it’s quite easy to overeat and indulge in binge eating. Also not to forget, food companies try to cash in on this factor and bring out stuff that’s “h...

Image

But some people do not see any results even with cutting out refined white sugar completely, and that’s because white sugar is not the only way sugar is flooding your body. Experts say that an average person consumes up to about 22 tablespoons in a single day! We see you shaking your head in disbelief because there’s no way you are adding that many tablespoons of white sugar into the daily morning coffee mug! So, how is such a huge amount of sugar making its way into your diet? That’s because a major percentage of sugar consumption comes from processed and packaged food that you pick off grocery stores and supermarket aisles! There are of course guidelines on how sugar can be added to food, but companies do manage to find loopholes and add heaps of sugar to their products to appeal to the tastebuds of consumers and also to make their food hyperpalatable.

7 Super Effective Remedies To Fight Summer Frizz

Image
Please raise your hands if your hair feels frizzy and super dry even in summers. Winter and rainy seasons are notorious in sapping out all moisture from hair and make them look kinky and straw like. However, during summer, if the strands are particularly damaged, hair seeks moisture from the air, which causes it to swell up and turn  frizzy. Also, the excessive use of heat tools like straightener, blow dryer, use of alcohol-based styling products, and harsh shampoos can make the situation worse. But fret not, convert lacklustre and dry hair to smooth mane with these 7 super effective remedies. 1. Almond Oil and Honey Pack: While almond oil is a natural hair emollient and conditioner, honey repairs the hair shaft from within and provides it loads of moisture and hydration. However, beware that honey is known to lighten the hue of hair, so in case, your hair is on the darker spectrum and you want to keep it that way, you might want to stay away from using honey on your scalp.

14 Ways To Reduce Water Retention

Image
Water retention can bring big disappointment when you stand on the weighing scale and keep fingers crossed, expecting the numbers to tip in your favour. But even with cutting out lots of calories, giving up all your favorite food, and exercising every single day, when the scale refuses to budge, it would be prudent to consider water retention as the cause. Water retention occurs when excess fluid builds up inside the body. This is also known as water retention or edema, even bloating. Water retention occurs in the circulatory system or within cavities and tissues. Most common symptoms include swelling of hands, feet, ankles, and legs.

Water retention is most common in people who are physically inactive and lead a sedentary lifestyle, or those who spend sitting through for long hours in the office. ...

Yay! Here’s How you Can Eat Cheese and Still Lose Weight

Image
Want to go on a diet? But then the idea of giving up all indulgent food, especially if you absolutely love everything cheesy – grilled cheese sandwich, cheese dosa, cheese dosa for example, pulls you back, we totally understand! In fact, the love for cheese-filled goodness is universal! People consider cheese to be off-limits considering it is an extremely calorie-dense food with a high fat content. The thought that every time you bite into a slice of pizza, hundreds of calories are going to flood your body, and assuming all of it is coming from the cheese is a misconception (that pizza is full of empty calories from refined flour, sodium, added sugar, color and flavour). For people trying to lose weight and counting every single calorie, indulging in this gooey goodness can rake up guilt like nothing. As we have mentioned previously, cheese is instantly categorized into the list of bad foods that lead to quick weight gain. We have always maintained that maintaining a calorie defi...

How Not To Be Tricked By These 16 Misleading Food Labels

Image
Come to think of it, the food stuff you bring home from the supermarket and grocery store aisles can determine up to a great degree whether you would lose weight or gain a few more extra pounds over the next few days. If you look closely and read labels, the products that have been labelled with tags like “healthy,” “100% real,” “organic,” you would be able to gauge that most of them are misleading. No matter what the front label says, don’t let it fool you into picking it up! The labels on the front of processed foods are made attractive, with colorful packaging, decorated with fancy buzzwords to appeal to consumers. Evidence shows that front labels of food products are misleading in most cases. For example, certain breakfast cereals that have labels like “fortified with vitamins,” “made with whole grain,” “with real fruits,” are highly processed and have little to zero nutritional value. Regardless of what the packaging says, these breakfast items are not at all healthy! Gullible peo...
