Diet for Weight Control
Diet plays a very important role as it is a source of nutrition and energy. Unbalanced and unhealthy eating pattern can lead to negative impacts like weight gain, high level of cholesterol, sugar, problems in digestion and metabolism and so on.
Weight control should not focus on minimizing food intake. The idea should be to eat right. Skipping meals, starvation, dieting are unhealthy means of weight control. The key lies in eating the right kind of food (quality and quantity) at the right time.
Eat foods that are available in raw form and are not fried before consumption. For example, cornflakes or oatmeal added to warm milk can be a very healthy and non fattening breakfast you can have.
This will not add to the calorie count or fat, and prevent weight gain. In addition, it contains plenty of dietary fiber and aids the process of digestion and metabolism. Avoid adding sugar to it; you may rather add half a spoon of honey or mashed bananas to it.
Avoid sugar intake wherever possible. For example, when you are drinking fresh fruit juice, avoid adding sugar to it. This is because fruits are already sweet and have natural sugars like glucose/fructose. They are an instant source of energy and good for health.
Even among fruits you need to eat the right kind. For example, oranges, apple, guava, bananas may be ideal. However fruits like mango or grapes contain relatively more sugar and higher amounts of calories.
Be on guard about what you munch on. Prefer roasted snacks like say popcorns, oil/fat free munchies, roasted cereals/pulses with a pinch of salt or snacks like vegetable sandwich, whole wheat bread etc rather than using pastries, deep fried stuffed items, food containing plenty of cheese or butter, pizza, burgers etc.
Eat plenty of fresh vegetables with meals, like cut slices of tomatoes, cucumbers, boiled beetroot, grated carrots, or onion rings. This will benefit you as these foods also fill you up and can prevent you from overeating meals. In addition, they can boost digestion and help in cutting down cholesterol level.
Eat food at the right time; not at odd hours. Avoid eating food late at night. An early and light dinner comprising more fluids like soup or buttermilk will be better.
