5 Ways To Keep The weight Off

With the increasing association of fat accumulation in the body to various chronic diseases, there is absolute need to keep the excess weight off.

Tips To Keeping The Weight Off  

1. Choose foods high in fiber
Fiber is a dieter’s friend because it fills you up, boosts metabolism, and foods high in fiber taste great and are naturally low in calories. A study conducted by the United States Department of Agriculture’s Human Nutrition Research Center found that women who doubled their fiber intake cut their calorie absorption by 90 calories daily.

2. Combine fiber and protein at every meal
Fiber and protein are the two nutrients that take the longest to digest. It's this perfect combination that keeps your serum glucose levels steady, so you have sustained energy and no nagging sugar cravings.

3. Spice it up
Spices are a great alternative to salt and sugar, but there's another bonus: spicy foods increase heart rate and body temperature, both of which help burn more calories. Did you know that cayenne pepper acts to strengthen the heart, arteries, and capillaries, and lowers cholesterol levels? A study published in the journal Diabetes Care showed that consuming a tablespoon of cinnamon a day helped to lower cholesterol significantly.

More water
It’s easy to mistake dehydration for hunger, so be sure to quench your thirst before reaching for a snack. It’s always a good idea to take a bottle of water with you when you're out, and for variety, jazz it up with a powdered or liquid zero-calorie flavor enhancer.

Dress your salad well
Salads start out healthy enough, but the wrong dressing can turn it into a fat and calorie bomb. Avoid oil-based or creamy concoctions and opt instead for a splash of red wine vinegar and grated parmesan cheese. This combo is as tasty as vinaigrette but even with the cheese two tablespoons has only 55 calories. Lighter still, blend some good mustard with lemon juice or balsamic vinegar.
 
Follow this diet and experience a healthy living.
