Healthy diet, the key to a healthy life:

Dieting as we know is not a fun process. It involves giving up on yummy chocolates, cheese burst pizzas and all of the best junk food available in the world. All the ladies want to have a body like those of Victoria’s Secret models and men want to have the famous, ‘6 packs’ along with good amount of muscles. But how can we punish our taste buds for these? Well, we give you another diet plan that might make you look like the models you want, but with a pinch of cheating.

1. All kinds of food items have one form of benefit or the other. Eating a wide variety of food in required amount, will help.

2. Start your day with a glass of warm water with honey and lemon juice. This will burn the fat in the body.

3. Breakfast is a very essential part of diet. Researchers prove that those who eat breakfast are leaner than those you skip it.

4. The trick is to eat plant originated food items like beans and leafy veggies. Eat 2 ½ cups of vegetables and 2 cups of fruit a day. Vivid the color, more enjoyable the food will get. Try to include fruits and vegetables of the color oranges, red, blue, purple and yellow as certain nutrients in these will help fight against cancer.

5. Add a juice along with your breakfast; say orange juice or some fresh juice. This will keep your body hydrated.

6. For brunch, try to include whole grains such as whole wheat, barley and oats. This contains nutrients to make you stronger and fitter. 

 

7. As lunch is where you eat maximum food, make sure it contains all kind of foods, varying from whole grains, proteins, vegetables and fruits and diary in the right amount. Diets are not as boring as we assume. We can make it fun by eating your favorite dish made of healthier recipes. We can eat ragi dosa instead of the normal dosa, for example.

8. A cup of rice or 3 chapattis should do for a perfect lunch for dieters. Otherwise a sandwich with a cup of veggies and some protein rich food like fish or soya will do the wonder.

9. Evenings can be enjoyed with some coffee or tea along with few low-cal biscuits and finish dinner with salad or a couple of rotis.

You are allowed to have a cheat day every weekend when you can indulge anything that makes you happy! Forget the calories, please your tummy.
