5 Common diet signs that are ruining your progress



 5 habits that hinders weight loss process

Weight control is all about making small changes that you can live with forever. As you incorporate these minor sustainable adjustments in your lifestyle, you’ll begin to see how they can add up to a big calorie saving and ultimately Weight Loss. But due to our daily hectic schedules we tend to make few mistakes which hinders our dream of weight loss to turn into reality.

Here are the top 5 habits that prevent you to lose weight. Change them to see the CHANGE!!!



1.      Skipping Breakfast: We all know the deal: Breakfast is the most important meal of the day! Still, many of us skip it thinking it will help us shed pounds. In fact, this bad habit actually packs on the calories. This not only slows down the metabolism but also slows down the process of weight loss. Skipping breakfast makes you irritable, low in energy and lethargic. Changing this habit, will do wonders to your body and energy levels.



2.      Staying up late: Nothing seems to melt away the aches and pains of a tough day like a bag of chips or a bowl of ice cream on the couch at night watching your favorite show. The problem is, that food which makes you feel oh-so-good at night may actually be the reason you aren’t seeing any progress with your weight loss regime. Foods that are consumed late at night actually add up to your total calories as you are relaxed and there is no physical activity to burn those extra calories. So want to stay up late at night? THINK AGAIN!!




3.       Skipping Meals: Does skipping meals means skipping calories??? NOWAY!! In fact, it will make you feel starved and you will end up eating more in your following meal. Avoid skipping any meals and refrain from eating too much at one time. Instead eat in small proportions and spread your 3 large meals into 4-6 small meals. This way, you boost your metabolism and shed those nasty pounds. Skip Ropes not meals!!




4.       You have nothing to do: May be you’ve run out of shows or things to clean and suddenly you’re fiddling around the kitchen and fridge for something to occupy your time. Most of us think they’re bored and that’s why they’re eating too much. Stop!! You are eating out of boredom. When we’re looking for an activity, Eating becomes the easiest thing to do. Drink a glass of water or eat a fruit, you are probably eating because you are bored and not actually hungry.




5.      Going to happy hours: Alcohol has a domino effect. Consumption of alcohol increases your appetite and causes dehydration. This leads to intake of extra calories and makes you feel bloated. Dehydration is often confused as hunger. Drinking enough water will not only promote weight loss but it also eliminates the excess toxins from our body. Hence drinking is good, if its water!!

6 quick beauty tips by a Nutritionist I’m a firm believer that beauty starts in the kitchen. The relationship between the food we eat and the way we treat our bodies is inevitably reflected in our outward appearance. What we put in is what comes out, and that’s why these tips really makes a difference in how I look and feel.   1.        Drink more water.  Staying hydrated is the easiest and most effective beauty tip, in my opinion. In order to achieve that healthy glow, your goal is to consume about 2 litres of water a day. It’s easier than you think to meet your hydration goals – herbal tea counts, and so do fruits and veggies. That’s right, fresh produce also has a high water content! Think leafy greens, citrus fruits and berries to boost beauty. 2.        Eat (and drink) more greens.  Not only do greens help you hydrate, they also contain so many beautifying vitamins and nutrients that improve your skin, hair and nails. 3.        Take care of your gut.  You

SIMPLICITY OVER SUPERFOODS The goal this month? Simplicity.
