01/5The 3 rules you must follow
The first rule of losing weight or coming into shape is to be mindful about what you eat and how much you eat in a day. The food that you put on your plate should be nutritious and in the right proportion to support your fitness plan. But most people with a motive to lose weight quickly and attain their fitness objective fast fall for fad diet trends like cutting down too many calories, increasing intake of protein or fat or following intermittent fasting. According to Celebrity Nutritionist Rujuta Diwekar, these fancy trends help to achieve your objective for a short time. Soon you gain the lost weight and start feeling weak and tired. The experts suggest that the key to healthy living is eating right and in the right quantity.
02/5How much should you eat?
Rujuta in her video explained that one should not go behind cutting calories or skipping meals. Rather eat enough to fill your stomach. On days it can be 1 chapati while someday it can be 3. It does not matter as long as you are eating healthy and on time. She shared 3 points that need to be kept in mind while having a meal. Following these tips help to keep your internal system healthy and fit.
03/5Sit crossed legs
People who are often in a hurry tend to finish their meal while arranging their files or getting ready for their work. This is the first thing that you need to let go of for the sake of your good health. Rujuta suggests having a sit-down meal. She said that even if all the members are not having their meal at the same time, you must have your meal at the dining table or common area. Avoid having your food in your room or while roaming around the house. In fact, try to sit down with your legs crossed on the ground while having your meal.
04/5Slow down
Another common issue that is widely witnessed is gulping down food without chewing it. This habit also makes you overeat which isn't a good practice. Try to slow down and chew your food before swallowing it. Take your time to finish your meal and put another bite in your mouth only when you finish the first one.
05/5Use all your senses
Most people have a habit of multitasking during mealtime. You would often find them scrolling the social media page or binge-watching their favourite show on television. This distraction leads to overeating. When you are eating, do only one task at a time. Be mindful and eat in silence. This will help you understand when you are full.
