Have a healthy breakfast
The cardinal rule to any weight loss programme is never to
miss breakfast. And oatmeal, a complex carbohydrate is ideal. It is a
satisfying breakfast cereal, and compared to any other grain it provides more
protein per serving. The fact that it takes longer to digest and hence releases
energy slowly makes it perfect because you feel full for longer. Oats also keep
blood sugar and insulin levels stable, which helps prevent fat storage. Have it
with skimmed milk or yogurt.
Opt for skimmed milk
Milk and its products are rich in calcium and can help keep
your bones strong. Skimmed milk, low fat cheese and yogurt helps to break down
fat cells.
Bean it
Foods that are high in fibre and are good sources of
protein, can help you feel full for a very long time. And that, will help you
control unnecessary bingeing. Protein has a very high satiety index and that is
why make proteins an essential part of your meals.
Go for the grain
Grains have complex carbohydrates which during digestion
release glucose slowly. Jowar, bajra and ragi etc can help in maintaining your
blood sugars levels. The fibre and vitamins in them play an important role too.
Snack on nuts through the day
Stay away from fried and salted nuts but you can munch on
raw, unsalted ones — almonds, and walnuts. These have essential roughage,
protein, fat, minerals and micronutrient.
A handful can keep hunger at bay and provide energy.
