7. INCREASE YOUR FIBRE INTAKE.
Eat more foods rich in fibre. High fibre foods may
help with weight loss because they make you feel
fuller for longer, and more likely to eat less. High
fibre foods include wholegrain breakfast cereals,
wholewheat pasta, wholegrain bread and oats,
barley and rye—fruit such as berries, pears, melon
and oranges. Pea, beans and nuts are also high in
fibre.
A simple way to increase your fibre intake without
creating any hassle in your kitchen is by opting for
fruit smoothies. Just add any fruits you’d like, ice,
and fresh milk.
8. CHOOSE FOODS WITH A
LOW GLYCEMIC INDEX.
Low-glycemic foods are slower to raise
a person’s blood sugar levels than
foods with moderate or high scores
on the glycemic index. Low-glycemic
foods include rolled or steel-cut oats,
barley, sweet potatoes and non-starchy
vegetables.
9. AVOID SKIPPING MEALS.
Never stay hungry for too long. Skipping meals can
also cause your metabolism to slow down, which
can cause weight gain or make it harder to lose
weight. It may also lead you to eat too much and
may cause you an upset stomach.
Get yourself easy to prepare snacks, like oatmeal,
fruits and vegetables that you can eat anytime.
Avoid junk foods, sweets, and pastries which may
give you a full and satisfied feeling but are not good
for you.
