Everyone desires to be slim and fit, and when thinking about losing weight, people often resort to fasting or dieting. However, such practices may cause nutritional imbalances, harm internal organs, and damage health. There’s no need to sacrifice your health just to lose weight.
Principles for Healthy Weight Loss:
- Eat four meals a day without snacking. Eat just enough to feel satisfied, not overly full. A proper breakfast helps reduce BMI, and dinner should be eaten early, preferably before 7 PM.
- Get enough sleep to stabilize hormones and avoid unnecessary cravings.
- Walk at least 10,000 steps (7-8 km) daily and engage in light activities after meals.
- Exercise regularly with activities like Talasana (stretching), Suryanamaskar (full-body workout), and Vakrasana (twisting) to burn calories.
- Control food intake by using small plates, brushing teeth right after meals, and snacking on roasted seeds to prevent overeating.
- Avoid harmful foods by cutting out fast food, sugary drinks, alcohol, and smoking.
- Drink water in the morning: Start the day with water mixed with lemon and chia seeds to boost metabolism and reduce hunger.
Weight loss should be done gradually, following scientific methods, and combined with a positive, happy lifestyle.
