Five myths regarding food when you are on diet :

Hiya friends !!

       

                  Happy 2014 !! So , what are your new year resolutions this time ?? .. For girls fitness is always on their mind  and when we talk about fitness the first thing that come to our mind is going on a diet plan , following some exercise routine , avoiding eating out often . But, to be honest i don't believe in staring my friends faces at all when they are enjoying their pizza or a chocolate cake pudding . So, cutting it short today we will discuss five general myths about dieting which makes it boring and further making our life boring ... and ultimately what we do ? WE QUIT !! This happens most of the time with most of us ...So , lets see how can we not gain those extra pounds while on diet and still eat our favourite food...!!



                                                           

ON DIET MEANS A STRICT NO TO FRIED STUFF : Yes, when we go on diet we simply avoid fried food . isn't it ? Doesn't every-time eating boiled or steamed food make food and life both boring . I don't say that its must to eat fried food for a happy life but avoiding it completely is even not necessary . You can have your favorite fried food once a fortnight but the thing we should keep in mind is that make it  is made fresh at home using a good oil (the oil that is fresh and not used before for frying ) . Another thing we should keep in mind is that we should have our fried stuff either in our breakfast or in our lunch time and not at dinner and portion control is must . Eat it hot and fresh is another thing we should always consider while eating fried food .

                                                                 

  

 EATING DESSERTS WHILE ON DIET IS A SIN  : For people having sweet tooth diet means to die!! ... But now you can still live happily and still be on diet !! A trick to eat your favorite rasmalai , gulab jamun or a chocolate sunday is to eat it as the first thing in the morning .. Our bodies sugar levels are low at this time of day so, our body will convert all the fat and sugar into energy and there is a slightest chance that we will gain weight from those calories .. but again the condition is not overindulge and have it once a fortnight . Another trick is never have your dessert with your main meal but have it as a meal in itself or have it two hours after you had your proper meal . This way you will not overburden your digestive system and body will easily digest it . "Eat it post workout" another trick to eat your favorite dessert .

                                                         

                         

ON DIET MEANS EATING FRUITS, DRINKING JUICES AND JUST SMELLING THAT YOU CANT EAT :)  : Don't worry !! there is no need to have them all the day. Have them as in between meals and it's must that our main meals doesn't get replaced by them. You should have your well planned and balanced meals including right proportions of fat , proteins, carbs to help your body and digestive system work properly . Whatever nature provides you is healthy and meant to be eaten but in right form and right quantity ... Do you know carbs help your body burn fat , so have them and right amount of fat in diet works as an anti ageing cream on your face .

                                                             

 

                                                           

 SKIPPING MEAL BEFORE GOING TO PARTY : Most of us follow this trick when we have to go for a party or night out . We skip our lunch thinking that the calories consumed there in the party will get compensated by skipping calories from our lunch or breakfast. This is the worst thing ever thought or done !! Instead skipping the meal we should never go hungry to a party, eat a small home cooked meal before going out so that you feal full and not overindulge in the party .

                                                           

BAKED PRODUCTS IN MARKET ARE A HEALTHIER OPTION : We all keep searching for baked items whenever doing grocery shopping !! dont we ? and feel so clever and happy when find these items in stock . But the truth is that they are just marketing gimmicks that we fall prey to . Instead of eating a full packet of baked biscuits or chips i would prefer a small portion of fried ones as i would be conscious enough that i am eating fried and wont overeat but in case of these baked products that are just lower by 20 to 30 calories per packet we eat them thinking that they will never make us fat . But the truth is that these non fried or baked products use trans fat to provide these products right texture and taste and we binge upon them everyday thinking them as non fattening . 

           So , in the end i will say "THINK WISE AND EAT RIGHT " , " DON'T STARVE " and let me share my favorite quote with you " IF ONE SINGLE HEALTHY MEAL CANT MAKE US SLIM THEN EATING FRIED FOR ONCE WONT MAKE US FAT EITHER " ....

 So, welcome 2014 with happy , wise and healthy eating !! would love to hear from you regarding the post in the comments section below and would love to know any fitness tips that you follow in your everyday life ... till then goodbye .. take care :)

FIVE EASY AND HEALTHY WAYS TO BECOME FAT To FIT........Nainazway                                              Here i come with my first post on fitness as this blog is about fashion makeup and fitness all together. I would be giving you the five basic fundas to become fit from fat ... these are the five basic and healthy changes or you can says habits that if you follow in your day to day life i bet you will love the way you look and feel about yourself most of us want to shed those 5 extra kgs that are hard to loose despite all our efforts .so come along with me with my tested and applied methods that ultimately lead to fitness. Hope I could help you and you love these steps the way i did....                                                                                  

                   1. SAY NO TO MORNING TEA OR COFFEE: Yes you have to!  Even if you don’t like it… It’s not that you can’t have it at all but let it not be the first thing in the morning. Studies show that bed tea makes body cells sluggish and slows down our metabolism. ya ya i know :)  it’s too difficult :(........ Who knows better than me ;) being myself a true tea addict. I too was a (see now it’s was a) bed tea addict, but if I could change it by starting my day with eating a banana or apple or any seasonal fruit that I like..During summers I even had mangoes as first thing in the morning, after that you can enjoy you cuppa but do have something with it ...best option have it with your breakfast .., this first basic step can lead you loose 2 to 3 kgs in a month.. Yes that's true.. try it guys..  and pls reduce your tea or coffee intake to maximum two cups a day because more the cups means more of sugar and rest you know ..                                                                                                                                   

                   2. FEED YOURSELF, DON'T STARVE:  How would your face feel or look like if you deprive it off of all the creams and lotions or masks you apply on it to make it glow, soft and beautiful. It will look pale, cracky isn’t it...?  So how can your body feel healthy, happy and great when you make it starve to look slim and good.. Please don't deprive your body of all the essential nutrients that it need to function properly...Think wise and eat healthy.. healthy does not mean here that you should just eat fruits or veggies all day ,instead have your proper meals at proper time and make fruits and veggies a part of this meal along with carbs, protein and fat ( yes fat also my lovely ladies ) . 1 tsp of ghee is must for healthy and glowing skin and your joints. Make your body happy by feeding it properly and in return it will make you happy..                                                                                                                                                  

                           3. EAT EVERY TWO TO THREE HOURS:  Prepare your menu for the next day a day prior and follow it religiously. By noting down and following it next day, you will eat wisely and consume fewer calories. Never skip your breakfast as it will provide you energy all day long and would also control your urge to eat junk.. a good and healthy breakfast provide nutrients to your brain cells to function properly and thus helps in right decision making. Select your portions wisely, don’t overindulge ....and please don't see everything as calories but do see them as nutrients. Calories from a cheese pizza may be equal to a paneer parantha but nutrients vary, pizzas are just empty calories but paneer paranthas are not.. Plan 6 to 7 small meals every two to three hours which include three main meals (breakfast , lunch ,dinner ) and the rest should include things like nuts(only a handful) milk , flavoured curd , fruit , lassi , sprouted moong or roasted chanas etc. These small meals will control your temptation to cheat on maida biscuits, burgers, fried bhujias etc (all culprits to fat).                                                                    

                     4. GREEN TEA: MY favourite cuppa to keep your weight in check. I don't forget to have my green tea daily. Rich in antioxidants it improves your metabolism and digestion process , gives you healthy glowing skin as it fights free radicals , anti ageing , boosts immunity , stress reliever , and last but not the least prevents you from a number of cancers.  (how to have it NAINAZWAY: POUR BOILING WATER IN A BIG MUG , DIFFUSE YOUR GREEN TEA BAG INTO IT FOR NOT MORE THAN THREE MINUTES . REMOVE TEA BAG AND HAVE IT. I MENTIONED A BIG CUP BECAUSE SMALLER QUANTITY MAKES IT TASTE BITTER ) these days I am loving my ORGANIC INDIA tulsi green tea as it is pesticide and chemical free. It tastes awesome .You can buy it at any fabindia store or at healthkart.com online.                                                                                                                                  

                5. EXERCISE REGULARLY: Indulge yourself in any form of exercise that you prefer personally but be regular..... It’s must.... No diet works without proper exercise… it’s not that you have to spend half of your day in gym but a 30 minutes of daily routine exercise does wonders... be it dancing , jogging, running, yoga, aerobics  etc whatever you like and enjoy doing.. Exercise release good hormones, relieves stress, slows ageing, and no doubt reduces your weight too....                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          

                              So, start following these basic five steps and you will see results within a month or even fortnight ..........hope this helps you ...and any health related suggestions are welcome from your side in the comments section below..........
