The Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee which had previously warned against the potential health hazards of eating egg yolk have withdrawn this recommendation based on decades of research on the effects of egg yolk. Research has proven that egg yolk has a very little impact on blood cholesterol. In fact, eating the full egg with the yolk has health benefits because it contains metabolism stimulating nutrients and essential fatty acids. In fact, it is very beneficial for the liver because it contains choline—a complex compound that interacts with our genetic structure and inhibits storing of fat around the liver.

Yes, you heard that right- small red plates. In different studies, it was found that if people use smaller plates they are likely to eat less. The same amount of food served on a small plate seems more and the brain gets accustomed to the quantity. Hence you feel full even with a smaller portion over time. Another interesting study revealed that the color red instructs our mind to stop eating! Simple but effective. So go out this weekend and buy yourself smaller sized red dinner plates.

As in everything, repetition gives you success. So even if you can’t find too many weight loss meals or snacks, don’t worry. Agreed that you are likely to get bored and may want something else, but remember that tried and tested weight loss meals will see you through in your weight loss efforts. If you digress from the tried and tested and go for something else, you run the risk of putting the weight back and having your efforts go to waste. Preset meals and preset workouts are a great combination.

OK. You knew it and now research has proven it. If you eat while watching TV, you are not mindful of the amount of food you are consuming because your brain is focused elsewhere. So while you are eating, focus on eating, chewing your food the recommended number of times, and not distracting your brain elsewhere. Try it, it really works. ! #food #fitness #health #weightloss #foodhealthandfitness

Now we have all heard of green tea and its benefits, so here’s a bit more conviction if you still needed it. Green Tea is loaded with compounds called catechins that do amazing things like increasing the metabolism, speeding up the release of fat from the fat cells in your body, and increasing the fat burning ability of the liver. Research was conducted to compare green tea drinkers (four to five cups a day) and non-drinkers. Both were asked to exercise about half an hour a day and the results showed that green tea drinkers actually lost 2 pounds or about 1 kg more than the others each week. And by the way, coffee, if consumed in the same proportion, doubled belly fat. #food #fitness #health #weightloss #foodhealthandfitness

We all know that eating fruits and vegetables will aid in weight loss. But if you find it difficult to access these over the unhealthy options, then it doesn’t help at all. So buy a fruit bowl and make sure you prepare a serving of cut fruits for yourself and keep it ready in the fridge for whenever you are hungry. Cut fruits and vegetable s should be easier to find than the other food in your fridge. Its simple but an very effective solution.#food #fitness #health #weightloss #foodhealthandfitness

We all struggle to keep our weight under control. But let me tell you a secret. That’s not going to work. You need to focus on keeping your urges under control. First, identify the one wrong food habit that you have and kick that one habit. Just one. It may be fried food, junk food, sweets, eating very late before bedtime, too much gap between meals or any other. Just one habit to identify and kick. Make a start and see the magic. You will start loving the weighing scale.
