For people of all ages, whether dieting or not, these tips are most essential and are very easy to recall, too!
Dieting is different from skipping meals and starving yourself, trust me on this. It will lead to bad repercussions later and leave you in regret. Set a schedule, and stick to it even if you're very busy.
You don't have to pig out on your eating every time you're hungry. Instead, try eating many times in a day (5-6 times) in small quantities. It'll keep your body sated well and will keep you happy, too.
If that dish is too spicy, chugging down a little water is okay. But chugging large gulps regularly between eating is going to be bad for you in the long run!
You're not a camel, you're human. Water is very essential for your body. So, always carry a bottle or two of water with you and replenish them when empty. And remember to drink what's in the bottle!
Cut down on rice, don't abandon it altogether. And to make up for the lessened rice, load up your plate with vegetables.
Don't eat the same food over and over again, in the same schedule. Instead, try changing your food pattern every fortnight and keep your diet balanced. Of course, the meal has to be the right kind of food.
Garlic is the best non-expensive, no-side-effect inducing remedy for gastric problems. Although your mouth will be smelly for a (longer) while..
While meat is good for your body, its bad in large quantities. Its advisable to have a portion of meat once in a day, and not more than that.
Too much of any food is bad, but two almonds a day is just right.
Junk food occasionally is fine, but its not okay when you have it regularly. Its as simple as that.
