Hye assamualaikum peeps :) 

Today, I want to share some tips that we can try to lose weight in a healthier way!


TOP 10 EASY WEIGHT LOSS

Tip 1: Find out how many calories you need

BMR = 
Male: 10×weight + 6.25×height - 5×age + 5
 
Female: 10×weight + 6.25×height - 5×age - 161
 

Weight: in kilograms. If you know your weight in pounds, divide by 2.2 to obtain to get your weight in kilograms.

Height: in centimeters; if you know your height in inches, multiply by 2.54 to get your height in centimeters
.
fruits and veggiesTip 2: Eat at least 5 servings of fruits and vegetables per day
Fruits and vegetables are packed with beneficial fiber, vitamins and antioxidant. They fill up your stomach fast so you feel full earlier. They are also low in calories and helps to keep your calorie count low.
Tip 3: Watch for Portion Size

Watch your portion size is very important. if possible you should try to eat in frequent and small portion, rather than seldom and big portion.



Tip 4: Do not Skip Meals

Eating small frequent meals help to balance your calorie intake throughout the day and also keeps your blood sugar level balanced.

Instead of eating 3 big meals, try to eat 5 - 6 smaller meals throughout the day.

Tip 5: Go for wholesome fresh foods

Purchase fresh foods and avoid highly processed foods. Highly processed foods are the real culprit of obesity, not meat or carbohydrates. Highly processed foods and fast foods are often higher in sodium and fat content. Many people we spoke to are amazed that they can easily lose weight by packing a home-cooked lunch to work instead of eating out.
Tip 6: Don't be overly-restrictive
chocolate
Everyone has his or her favourite treats. Simply allow yourself a little indulgence, but watch out for the frequency and the quantity. Having a small treat once in a while can be rewarding to your weight loss experience. Cutting too much of your favourite treats usually lead to an early relapse.
Tip 7: Understand Food Claims and Labels
understanding food labelsA product labelled with a fat-free claim does not mean that it is low in calories. Similarly a product labelled as low-sugar or low-carbohydrates does not mean it is low in fat or calories. Always read the nutrition label on the packaging.
Tip 8: Watch for the sugary drinks

Juices, soda, cream & sugar in your coffee or tea all add up. Opt for drinking mostly water in a day. In addition to providing hydration to your body, it will also help you feel full.

food journalTip 9: Keep a food journal
Keeping a food journal helps you pin point your eating pattern and will enable you to easily modify it. 
Tip 10: Exercise, period
Most authorities recommend 30 - 60 minutes of physical activity a day to stay healthy. So in a week, it is recommended to exercise 150 minutes per week. There are many type of exercise that you can practise depending on your ability. This will help burn some of the unwanted calories.


Good Luck people :)
