Fat-free diets are good

If you plan on losing weight, you don’t need to cut out fat altogether. Dieticians say you are required to consume a sufficient amount of fat as it’s needed for energy, tissue repair and to ship vitamins around the body. However, saturated fats like butter are not allowed. Go for healthier options like olive oil.

Do not eat late night

A meal eaten late at night will not essentially make the body store more fat. Just make sure that you eat a couple of hours before sleeping so that the food gets digested well.

Avoiding certain foods 

While fruits, vegetables and nuts are a healthier option, it doesn’t mean you have to cut out carbs totally. Eating bread, pasta and rice in moderation is good.

Slow metabolism is the problem 

Experts say the larger you are, the more calories you need to keep your body working. People tend to put on weight, when they eat more than they burn. This is due to our largely sedentary lifestyles.

No to Crash Dieting

While an extreme diet can reduce weight in the short term, it can become a problem later. Doctors agree that this is an unhealthy way as it not only removes fat but also muscle and tissue. Crash dieting can also make you weak. Opt for a weight loss plan that will help you preserve your reduced weight long-term.
