Do Not Avoid Healthy Fats
Healthy fats will not make you gain weight. In fact, healthy fats help reduce inflammation and prevent inflammation-induced weight gain. Consume almonds, walnuts, macadamia nuts, pine nuts, avocado, fatty fish, chia seeds, flax seeds, pumpkin seeds, olive oil, cheese, dark chocolate, and boiled egg diet.
You Need the Dietary Fiber
We often think that we should completely avoid carbs to lose weight. But, that’s not true. You need the right type of carbs.
Dietary fiber is a type of carb that cannot be digested by humans but aids weight loss by keeping you full for a longer duration and preventing fat absorption.
Consume broccoli, flax seeds, prune, peaches, pear, apple, lima beans, black beans, figs, berries, oats bran, barley, green peas, guava, peach, Brussels sprouts, artichokes, pomegranate, kiwi, brown rice, beetroot, quinoa, acorn squash, etc.
Drink Up
Most of the times when you are thirsty but don’t drink water, you may think you are hungry and load up on calories.
Moreover, not drinking enough water can prevent your cells from performing their functions, leading to slow metabolism, dehydration, constipation, and bloating.
All these conditions can lead to stress and inflammation in the body.
So, drink at least 2-3 liters of water per day. You can also have infused water, fresh fruit or vegetable juices or smoothies, coconut water, and buttermilk.
No Starving
If you think you will lose weight by starving yourself, you can’t. Not eating for a prolonged period may signal the body to shift to the starvation mode, and it will stop using any calories consumed as usable energy.
The extra calories will get stored as fat, leading to weight gain. So, eat every 2-4 hours to keep your metabolism active and the cells functioning properly.
Avoid Junk Food
Wondering what to eat to get a six-pack for women?
Irrespective of gender avoiding junk food is always right. High-carb, high-calorie, and zero nutritional value is what is known as junk food. It does nothing but harms your health.
Avoid snacking on junk food, such as potato chips, fries, fried chicken, Indian fried snacks, etc., and also avoid midnight snacking. Believe me, if you stop eating junk, you will end up losing a lot of weight.
Reduce Stress
Stress is harmful in many ways. When you are stressed, the hormone cortisol is released, which increases glucose levels in the blood and inhibits digestive functions. This leads to fat deposition in the abdominal area and, in some cases, insulin resistance and diabetes.
Yoga, meditation, cardio, weight training, playing a sport, swimming, painting, reading books, traveling, listening to music, and even applying makeup for fun can help you reduce stress.
