As we step into 2023, we should allow certain myths to trail off, unlearn old redundant habits and make way for new and effective ones that would help us to motor through the journey. So, here we are with 5 weight loss myths to leave behind before stepping into 2023. 1.

10 Roasted Things To Have As Snacks For Weight Loss

Image

You would rather want to have something crunchy and munch-y to fill the gap between meals, but when trying to lose weight, you have to make sure the ones you pick up do not hamper your goals. Also, when you want to wind down with a cup of chai, instead of reaching out for cakes, cookies, biscuits, experts suggest munching on snacks with protein, fiber, and healthy fats that give you instant energy, keep you fuller for longer hours, and can help you lose weight as well. What better way than to pick up some roasted things that are also healthy, weight loss friendly, and can be taken along in packets to office and even while traveling. Roasting is a process which can be done with or without oil (dry roasting), with a bit of condiments added to increase the flavour and helps satisfy cravings as well. You can also use microwave for roasting. Roasting also allows room for experiment...

What Makes Sattu a Weight-Loss Friendly Food?

Image
There are so many superfoods out that do not get their due importance in a world where kale, seaweed, acai berries, receive a lot of hype. In such a scenario, the benefits associated with Indian superfoods is also often overlooked. Protein plays an important role in weight loss and that’s why experts stress on the importance of amping up protein intake. Chicken, eggs, paneer, tofu, protein powders are all good sources of protein, but there’s an equally good and an inexpensive protein source we often ignore – “sattu.” The best thing about sattu is that it is 100% plant based – so absolutely good for vegetarians and vegans as well. Sattu is made by roasting and powdering Bengal gram, and in some regions, besan is added for extra flavour. It’s popular as a summer drink as it cools down the body and replenishes nutrients and minerals lost through sweating and dehydration. As we have already mentioned, sattu has not received enough credit even though it’s rich in nutrients and amazingly...

Is Poha Good For Weight Loss?

Image
Since there’s a lot of emphasis on “eat fewer calories and burn more calories,” anything labeled “low-calorie” is automatically considered “weight loss friendly,” and “low calorie” breakfast cereals, muesli, granola, etc., which usually have a high amount of sugar, raise blood sugar rapidly, eliciting a sharp insulin response, which means you would feel hungry quite soon, once insulin causes blood sugar to slump. For a majority of people, breakfast is the most exciting meal of the day and it should rightfully be a nutrient-dense meal. The first meal of the day should help you kickstart the day on a healthy note. A heavily-processed cannot be considered healthy just because it claims to be low in calories; please do not swap it for traditional breakfast options like idli, dosa, paratha, dhokla, poha, etc. Among these, poha is perfect for busy bees because it is easy to make and would appeal to every tastebud and palate.

5 Reasons Why It’s So Hard To Keep Weight Off

Image
It’s a fact that the human body absolutely hates to lose weight and likes to hoard fat instead. During evolution, when food was scarce and the next meal often difficult to acquire, the body adapted to a mechanism whereby all the extra calories got packed off to be stored as fat in case there was an energy crunch in the future. This worked for us when it was difficult to survive in harsh conditions. However, in the current scenario, this efficient survival mechanism is working against us because calorie-dense food is aplenty and access to sugary treats (which the brain rewards us with dopamine) convenient. In such as situation, the body turns into a hoarder, converting all these extra empty calories to fat. If you are someone who managed to trick the body into shedding weight by following a calorie-deficit diet and consistent exercise, congratulations! But recently, to your disappointment, the weighing scale shows you have gained all the weight back! It’s frustrating when you have put i...

7 Everyday Foods with Hidden Sugar

Image
Dieticians, nutritionists, and weight loss experts would unanimously agree that cutting out sugar from your daily diet can be a huge game-changer. Sugar is considered as the #1 roadblock that can ruin your weight loss journey and at the same time, extremely detrimental to health as well. Nutritionally deficient, high in calories, sugar raises inflammation and increases the risk of type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and even cancer. As we all know, excess sugar is converted into fat and stored away in the body for future. Even if you have eliminated white sugar completely, there are certain food items with lots of added sugar  that make their way into our daily diet. Sugar addiction is real and food companies cash in on this “addiction” and add too much sugar under different names – maltose, maltodextrin, high fructose corn syrup, agave nectar, invert syrup to name just a few. Surprisingly, some of these foods are glorified as “healthy.”  That’s why, it has become extremely import...

8 Easy Ways To Fix Metabolism and Burn Extra Calories

Image
Experts say a sluggish metabolism is the reason why people find it extremely difficult to lose weight. Wrong dietary choices, lack of nutrients, consumption of processed food, sedentary lifestyle, chronic stress, and sleep deprivation can impact metabolism in a big way. Now, what’s metabolism? Metabolism is a mechanism that converts calories from food to energy form and it is always at work inside your body – even when you are taking rest, sleeping or just sitting idle. The energy your body uses for these basic functions is called your basal metabolic rate. The rate at which you burn calories at rest is called “resting metabolic rate” (RMR). Our day-to-day activities, our lifestyle, the food we eat, crash dieting, and even the amount of stress we go through impacts metabolism a great deal. To fix a sluggish metabolism, it’s important to bring in a few changes – whether it’s by eating nutrient-dense food, making the right lifestyle choices, or just getting a good night’s sleep. So, here...
