8 Things To Do on a Saturday To Lose Weight Through The Week

Image
As Saturday approaches – we start planning for parties, get-togethers, outings, and all of them revolve around food, but if you’re working on losing weight, be cautious. Weekends, especially Saturdays, can undo your week-long efforts. Instead of turning it into a ‘cheat day,’ use Saturday as a chance to reset, plan, and ensure a smooth week ahead on your weight loss journey. Check out 8 simple tips in our latest post! 1. Have a Nutritious Breakfast: Start your day right by choosing a nutritious breakfast, known as the most important meal. While tempting, sugary options like waffles, packaged juices, and sweet cereals can load you up on empty calories and keep unhealthy cravings lingering.

To Eat Fruits or Drink Fruit Juices For Weight Loss

Image
“When life gives you lemons, make orange juice out of it and leave the world wondering how you did it.” It is an inspirational quote by Mitch Griego, which suggests us to make the most out of any difficult situation that life throws at us. Some people may have taken to the literal meaning and resort to extreme fad diets such as juice fasting (only juices, no solid food) which can last up to a period of 3 weeks. On such diets, where only fruit and vegetable juices are allowed, contrary to the hype and belief, people do not manage to lose any significant weight, but they tend to lose their overall health in the process. Now, why does this happen? Aren’t fruits considered to be the powerhouse of nutrition? And experts do recommend to have around 5 portions of fruit per day. So, why does the scenario change when switching from fruits to fruit juices? There’s a lot of hype about how dramatic weight loss can be achieved by drinking copious amount of fruit juices through the day, most of them...

4 Clever Tips To Avoid Weight Gain During Dusshera and Diwali

Image
Navratri, Dusshera, Diwali – all our favourite Indian festivals are coming in quick succession and while Navratri is about fasting – Dusshera and Diwali are majorly about feasting (Diwali as we all know about sweets and mithai). Even the most iron-willed dieter would not be able to refuse those delicious motichoor ke ladoo. But what about all the kgs that you managed to drop with months of dieting and exercise – post Dusshera and Diwali celebrations, all the extra weight and more would come pile back on. Festivals bring so much joy, celebration, fun, laughter, and family and friends get together – food takes the center stage. Also, during Diwali, exchange of sweets and sweet boxes is a custom, and when you are in the midst of so many goodies, weight gain post Diwali is imminent, just as in the west, almost everyone gains weight after the Thanksgiving and holiday season. But if you are someone who is desperately trying to lose weight, you do not want to end the festivities on a bad note...

Best Time To Have Tea and Coffee For Weight Loss

Image
For half of the Indian junta, a cup of coffee is inspiration, stimulus, motivation, all rolled into one and for the rest half, “ek pyaali chai” elicits the same emotions. No matter how aggressively foreign companies market their colas and fizzy drinks, we Indians still will hold tea/coffee in the first place as our favorite beverages. Both coffee and tea act as stimulants, flushing you with a boost of energy as and when needed. As we have mentioned earlier too, both coffee and tea when brewed black can boost metabolism and do not hamper weight loss. And you already know that adding milk, sugar, creamer, and having it with snacks and treats subtracts away all the associated benefits. We definitely know how not to have tea and coffee while on a weight loss diet, but then what’s the correct to sip your favorite beverage? We will tell you the timings to get the most out of tea/coffee: 1. Have the first cup between 9:30 to 11:30 am: A majority of us walk automatically towards the kitchen...

Can Eating Less Salt Help you with Weight Loss?

Image
Obesity is an ongoing pandemic the world over and the main causes are excessive calorie intake and sedentary lifestyle. But salt has received a lot of flak with regards to increase in weight gain. This has led people into pinning all the blame on salt for building up of extra fat in their body and going dangerously low on this essential mineral, but we would say please “don’t blame salt for what sugar did.” Unchecked sugar consumption is the leading cause of obesity the world over, and not salt. In fact, sugar helped you gain weight at all the wrong places, salt had very little role! Here’s what you need to hear – salt not only adds flavour to our food, it is essential to maintain the electrolyte balance in the body and therefore necessary to run all important functions smoothly. The normal range of sodium in blood is 135 to 145 mEq/L and when sodium falls below that level – it can lead to dizziness, vomiting, shock, and even coma. However, having said that, salt should be ta...

How Not To Drink your Coffee While Dieting

Image
To drink or not to drink coffee on a diet? That’s the question plaguing people who are planning to go on a diet but cannot think about functioning without a steaming cup of coffee to jumpstart the day, also another cup just before setting out to work, another one to clear head when neck down deep in work, one more cup to tide over the afternoon slump, and of course that mandatory cup in the evening with friends or family. For a lot of us, multiple cups of coffee help to motor through the day. So, are you ready to dump the coffee when trying to lose weight? The good news for coffee lovers is that the caffeine content actually has been found to boost weight loss, improve metabolism, and even in curbing appetite – only if you drink it the right way. The caffeine content in coffee acts as a stimulant, appetite suppressant, and is also known for its metabolism boosting and fat-burning properties. Caffeine also has thermogenic properties which means it torches up extra calories in the bo...

How To Lose Weight as a Vegetarian

Image
There’s a huge misconception that losing weight is a tad bit difficult for vegetarians compared to non-vegetarians who have endless food sources to get their protein from. Now, as we all know by now, protein is the superstar macronutrient that motors up fat burning, and vegetarians usually feel there are only just a few options for them out there to choose from. Also, overindulgence in carb-rich food among vegetarians is another major concern. Nowadays, there’s also a steady rise in consumption of processed food both among vegetarians and non-vegetarians as well. Considering so many factors working against those on a plant-based and vegetarian diet, a lot of us might conclude that it might indeed be not that easy for herbivores. But make no mistake, what actually triggers fat burning is being in calorie deficit (consuming fewer calories than your body burns) and make sure to follow a nutrient-dense diet. So, here’s a detailed guide on how to lose weight as a vegetarian. 1. Get High-Q...
