Post Diwali everybody is complaining about the festive flab and how they are not able to do anything about losing it. Given below are some simple tips to lose flab after any festive season!!!
Be conscious: Diwali is a time when we let go of our diet and gorge, but post diwali is the time to be conscious of what we are eating. It helps to decide in advance how much to eat before every meal, how many times to eat out in a week, what to stock in the larder, etc.
2 Sweet sense: We would have had our fill of sweets during diwali and now is the time to cut down on sweets/pastries/cakes or anything made out of sugar, jaggery etc. Distribute if you have any remaining and snack on fruits instead to satisfy the sweet tooth!
3 Colour your plate: Include a lot of vegetables cooked with less oil and salads in the day’s menu. They fill you up with fibre, makes you feel less hungry and have very little calories. In addition, they are loaded with vitamins and minerals and anti oxidants. Make your plate look like a box of crayons!!
4 Go low on oil: Cook your food using very minimal oil. Try grilling, baking, steam cooking etc. Fats pack in more calories than other nutrients for lesser quantities.
5 Drink!!: A glass of water will make your stomach partially full. As a result you will eat less and is one of the easiest ways of cutting down calories!
6 Small savings: Use smaller plates and a fork to eat. On a bigger plate, the same amount of food looks small too!!! You tend to eat less when you serve yourself on a smaller plate.
