We all want to look fit, have old clothes fit again and keep our body active. But when it comes to losing weight, the moment we hear the names of ‘dieting’ and ‘gym’ we start sweating. The truth is that it is difficult to lose weight by starving yourself or doing very heavy exercises and often we give up midway. But what if you are told that you can feel the change in your body in the next 15 days, that too without punishing yourself? Yes, there is no magic wand required for this, just a little improvement in your daily habits is required. Let us know those easy ways which will make you feel lighter in 15 days. Will get it done. 1. If the beginning is good, then all is good (protein breakfast) Often people skip breakfast while trying to lose weight, which is the biggest mistake. Start the day like a king, but with the right food. Be sure to include protein in your breakfast. Eggs, oats, moong dal cheela or curd are excellent options. Eating protein keeps your stomach full for a long time and you do not feel like eating junk food again and again. 2. Make water your best friend: The cheapest and easiest way to speed up metabolism (digestion power) is water. Make a habit of drinking at least 8 to 10 glasses of water throughout the day. It not only detoxes your body but also helps in burning fat. Drinking water half an hour before meals also keeps your appetite under control. 3. What to eat and what to leave? Say ‘no’ to sugar, sweets and things fried in oil for the next 15 days. Instead, include colorful fruits, green vegetables and whole grains in your plate. Whenever you feel hungry in between (snacking), eat a handful of nuts (almonds, walnuts), fruits or nuts instead of biscuits or snacks. 4. You will have to work a little hard (cardio and walk). It is impossible to lose weight without moving your hands and legs. For this there is no need to go to the gym and lift heavy weights. Walk for 30-40 minutes daily, go swimming, cycling or do a little dance at home. If you want quick results, then do ‘cardio’ for 15 days continuously, it produces sweat and burns calories faster. 5. Dinner: ‘The lighter, the better’ Our digestive system slows down after the sun sets. Therefore, try to eat dinner at least 2-3 hours before sleeping. Have soup, salad or thin khichdi/porridge for dinner. Eating heavy food late at night directly increases obesity. 6. Sleep and stress: You may not believe it, but good sleep is as important for weight loss as exercise. Get 7-8 hours of deep sleep. Also, reduce stress because excessive stress increases cortisol hormone in the body which increases weight. Do some yoga or meditation, if the mind remains calm then the body will also support you. These 15 days are just a beginning. If you make these habits a part of your lifestyle, it will become very easy for you to stay fit.
