Eat a healthy diet

A healthy and low-calorie diet is a very important part of a good weight loss plan. Make sure to include fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole grains in your diet instead of filling up on junk foods. Stay away from fried and fatty foods. Also, don’t take in too much sugar and salt.  Look for healthier forms in your favorite foods. 

For example, east homemade air-popped popcorn instead of high calorie, oil popped popcorn. Don’t eat things made with white flour like white bread, cookies, muffins, pizzas, hotdogs, burgers, pasta, and other similar foods. 

Choose wholegrain and healthier forms of these foods. Their labels should say “100% whole grain”. Not just “made with whole grains” or “multi-grain”.  Eat more fiber and proteins but fewer carbohydrates. Proteins will help you feel full longer and lessen cravings. 

Set aside one day a week for a cheat meal. Remember to keep your portions small. To get the most out of your cheat meal, eat it slowly, and try to avoid disturbances while eating. Choose fresh fruit juice instead of packaged fruit juices, which are full of sugar and preservatives. Use virgin coconut oil in your diet. It is easy to digest, good for your health, and also helps your body break down materials faster. 

Eat smaller meals, more often. Do not skip meals, especially breakfast, Eat your last meal of the day at least two hours before bedtime, and don’t snack late at night. Make sure not to eat carelessly, and control your portion size by using smaller plates and bowls. 


Drink plenty of water
