Dieting has become the new fad these days. Almost every other person, whomever you meet, claims to be on a diet in order to get that ‘ideal’ figure. Some start following random plans from Google and some prefer to go for a ‘crash diet’ without even knowing the pros and cons of that particular diet plan they are following.
I have talked to certain people about this diet fever and after talking to them I have realized that most of them are completely clueless about what dieting means – or what it should mean. Most of them start a plan which is not compatible to their health and they end up starving themselves and eventually binging.
Therefore, to kick things off on the right now, I have developed a one-week beginners’ ‘Eat Right Plan’ for those who are searching for an efficient plan that’ll help them get into the dieting phase without starving themselves to death.
Before beginning with the plan I have mentioned some important instructions too.
- Dieting isn’t torture, so stop thinking of yourself as a bechara or bechari to follow it. It’s a step towards a healthier lifestyle, so be happy and determined.
- Dieting isn’t a miracle potion – you need to be patient to achieve the figure you want.
- Until and unless you don’t control your portions, no plan can help you. All the mentioned meals should be eaten in an appropriate size. Keep one medium size bowl in which you add your food.
- Avoid carrying big lunch boxes, go for medium ones and the best would be small ones.
- Stop telling yourself that you are on a diet.
- Drink lots of water. The moment you feel a bit of hunger, go drink some water.
- No water after any meal till two hours.
- Before 10-12 minutes of your meal, have two glasses of water.
- Avoid use of artificial products, no matter what the description says. Go for all NATURAL food. No artificial chicken, no artificial soups, nothing with a label on it.
- LAST, you are not only losing weight, you have planned to change your lifestyle – live by that ideology.
BEST OF LUCK!
