Fat Loss - How To Ensure It?
Statistics show that lifestyle disorders such as diabetes are on the rise, and one of the primary reasons for this is the radical diet change that has happened in the past score. The current diet trends are focused on carbohydrates and unhealthy fats. Fast food has attained prominence because of time constraints; people are now busier and thus prefer food on the go. Maximum of such ‘on the go’ alternatives are packed with unhealthy sugars.
So if you are looking to lose fat, diet is the point where you would want to start. Here is a DIY guide to making that fat disappear:
-
Eliminate Hidden Sugars: First of all, avoid buying processed food and you won’t require this step. But for some of you, who don’t always have access to home-cooked food – there is still hope. If you are buying packaged foods, then read the label very carefully. Avoid foods whose sugar content is more than 5 grams.
-
Include Complex Carbohydrates: Foods that contain complex carbohydrates are better than foods that contain simple carbohydrates. The reason being that complex carbohydrates are absorbed slowly into the bloodstream, without spiking the blood sugar levels. A piece of advice over here would be to watch the portions.
-
Eat Fat: Contrary to popular belief, eating fat does not make you fat. Fat is required in the body for many of its functions. The aim is to control the portion size as fat contains a higher amount of calories. Fat makes you fuller so that you eat less. Include foods such as almonds and walnuts as they are healthy snacks.
-
Restrict Fruit Intake: Fruits are good for you as they are a good source of various vitamins and antioxidants. However, one of the downsides of fruits is that they contain fructose, which is fruit sugar. Pick fruits that are low on sugar such as watermelon, guava and pear.
- Pick healthy when you go out: If you must eat outside, then select dishes low on the carb count. Go for salads without the fat-filled dressings; you could ask for a sprinkle of olive oil and some spices.
