NUTRITION
To achieve quick results with your weight loss initiative, you will need to follow some a diet. Most people see dieting as negative because it tends to be associated either with anorexia or gives the impression that it needs people to skip meals. Neither is true. It is possible to lose weight even if you eat 3 to 8 times a day. The trick is in picking the right kind of foods, which is known as macro-nutrient control, and in timing food as per the body’s daily cycle, to ensure the right kind of foods are available at the right time. For instance, fruits are great for health, but, should ideally never be consumed after 6 pm (assuming a sleep time of 10-11pm). Eat a lot of fresh veggies, which will ensure a steady nutrient supply and will also result in weight loss.
If you are a non-vegetarian, judicious use of meats will help with weight loss. Eat meat for the last meal of the day if you can. Portion sizes for some types of foods are also important. You can’t lose much weight within a week if you stick to large amounts of rice/rice based items and wheat or other grain-based foods. Some cereals such as oats do fill up better resulting in the consumption of less quantity; but not if you have it with a lot of sugar or honey!
