5 Thumb Rules for You to Gain Maximum Out of Your Current Diet Plan
#Diet and Nutrition#Weight Loss

Diet tips you must follow:-

- Protein in every meal: Protein is good for weight loss. It helps in maintaining satiety & keeps you from feeling hungry every now and then. It is also great for muscle building in case you are carrying out weight training along with your diet plan. You need 1gm of protein per kg of body weight. By that logic, if you weigh 50kgs, your daily protein requirement would amount to 50gms which can easily be derived by consuming 1 egg,1/4 liter of milk, 30gms of paneer and close to 100gms of lean meat.

- Snacking: Keep a pouch of nuts or seeds handy to munch on between meals or whenever you seem to battle hunger pangs. Almost anything can be had in the form of snacks - from a small bowl of curd, salads, soup, fruits to a bar of granola, etc.

- Starvation: It is only going to take the sheen off your face, make your hair grow weaker and take a toll on your metabolism. It is better that you exercise portion control, eat smaller but frequent meals. Breakfast should be the heaviest meal of the day and dinner should be the lightest.

- Water therapy: Hydration is extremely important for weight loss and to keep your system balanced. Sometimes an imbalance of electrolytes in your body may make you feel drained out. Besides lots of water, you must load up on coconut water, Lemonade and fresh fruit juices.

- Miscellaneous: Caffeine can do wonders for your metabolism; Ensure not having more than 400mg of caffeine in a day via various sources. Also, black coffee is your best bet for weight loss and revving up your metabolism. Sugar and processed items must be avoided. White carbs are bad for weight loss, and so are refined food items. Fats are essential for our health, they are one of the most important food groups required by our body for proper functioning.

The idea is never to completely cut out any food group but to strike a balance between all of them and consume as much the body actually needs.
