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. Opt for healthier choices from the Rati Beauty diet to maintain successful weight loss, even on lazy weekends. 2. Plan and Buy Groceries for the Entire Week: Use Saturday to plan and shop for groceries for the entire week. This strategy significantly reduces the likelihood of impulsively selecti...

Gulab Jamun Today, Gym Tomorrow – Will It Work?

“Indulging in Gulab Jamun today, sweating it out at the gym tomorrow! 💪🍬 #GulabJamunGoals #FitnessJourney” – This would make for an interesting instagram reel/story along with a pic of you enjoying the delectable, sugar-infused dessert, but would this strategy work when you are trying to lose weight? There’s no doubt you would burn calories with exercise, but can you eat whatever you want guilt free and hope to burn it all off at the gym the next day? A lot of Bollywood celebrities project this idea that they eat whatever they want because they hit the gym every single day! They present gym as the ideal place to compensate for their indulgence in guilt food. But as cliched as it may sound, you can never outrun a bad diet. Let’s find out why “gulab jamun today, gym tomorrow” strategy will not work when it comes to weight loss.

Gulab Jamun Today Gym Tomorrow Will It Work

1. One gulab jamun can have 150 calories or more (without the sugar syrup), and with a decadent sweet such as gulab jamun, who can stop at just one! There are just too many red flags in gulab jamun – it is made with ingredients like maida, khoya, and sugar, all of which are high in empty calories. Gulab jamun goes through deep frying first and is then soaked in a thick sugary syrup until consumed. And that’s why we are pretty sure there are more than 150 calories in a single gulab jamun! And if you are having 2 or 3 and sipping on the syrup at the same time – say “hi” to belly fat! Also, studies say fitness trackers overestimate calorie burn by as much as 93%, so depending on your smart watch to keep track of total number of calories torched would not be a great idea.

2. Always remember that weight loss is all about 80% diet and 20% exercise, and switching the percentages will not bring about significant results.

3. Exercise can burn a limited amount of calories, hence eating without restraint in the hopes to sweat out all the calories through exercise would not work. For example, a 30-minute walk on the treadmill would torch up just 180 calories! It’s easy to believe the numbers on the treadmill and other cardio machines, and overestimate the amount of calories burnt during exercise. A study says these machines exaggerate calorie burn by as much as 20%! Research also shows we can only burn about 10 to 30% of the total calories consumed each day through exercise. Here we are not undermining the importance of regular exercise in improving health and overall well being, but when you have a significant amount of kilos to drop, there’s not much it brings to the table.

3. The number of calories burned during a workout session depends on various factors, including the type of exercise, its intensity, duration, and not to forget your metabolism.

Summing up, hitting the gym and exercising regularly is a great idea, but without being on a calorie-deficit healthy diet, it would not take you far along on your weight loss journey. Gulab jamun can be a rare indulgence, a cheat meal, but it cannot be part of your regular diet, not that “kuch meetha ho jaye kind of a treat” you can have everyday after dinner. Switch to a good weight loss diet program, eat healthy and nutritious food, practice portion control, and exercise consistently, and see all the extra fat melt away. Access nutrient-dense weight loss diet plans on the Rati Beauty app, and lose weight successfully and fast.

Sure, you may think organic foods are better for you. But, have you ever seen any proof that the higher-priced organic foods you purchase are actually any more healthy than their conventional counterparts? Have you ever questioned if they are more healthy? You’re not alone. Even agencies that offer health-related advice on the foods we eat have been questioning if organic foods are more nutritious, often citing the lack of scientific evidence. These questions may finally be answered. Recent research provides scientific evidence that organic foods are indeed healthier and it may change opinions about these foods. In recent (largest of its kind) study at Newcastle University UK, researchers have found that eating organic foods vs. conventional foods may provide many benefits which convention foods do not. In addition to increasing lifespan, these foods contain higher levels of antioxidants and flavonoids which are many times absent in chemically treated foods and produce. The...

Don’t Start Something and Not Finish It

Image
Don’t Start Something and Not Finish It New Year’s Resolutions – did you make one this year? Have you stuck to it? For most people, the answers to those questions are, in order, “yes” and “no”. Just doing something at an arbitrary time defined by tradition is absolutely no way to govern your life. All it means is that you are choosing something, often at random, to complicate your life at a time when things may well be stressful enough already. The New Year may be a good point to decide on making a New You, but the truth is that unless you are ready, you will be more likely to set off with good intentions and then fail to keep to them. Start your exercise plan knowing what you are looking to achieve, how you will achieve it and how much time it will take. Then, whatever the plan, stick to it. It will be difficult at times – that’s why you have had to build up to it. But regardless of how much you may feel one day that you cannot be bothered if you carry on and do it those feeling...

McDonald's introduces trans-fat-free oil

Image
Good giant McDonald's has finally begun to use trans-fat-free oil for cooking french fries in some restaurants, after seven years of testing different oil varieties. According to spokesperson Walt Riker, the new oil has been introduced into more than 1,200 restaurants in the United States. He did not reveal the locations of these restaurants, or when the chain would begin using the new oil in its other 12,500 U.S. locations . Trans fats are artificially created fats that have no nutritional value. They have been shown to raise the body's ratio of "bad" (LDL) to "good" (HDL) cholesterol, thus increasing the risk of heart disease. McDonald's spent seven years testing more than 50 blends of 18 different varieties of oil before settling on the current oil. The restaurant first pledged to introduce a new oil in 2002, but backed away from that promise within a few months, reportedly due to concerns about a new oil's possible taste effects. Accor...
