FOOD HABBIT :

• First calculate your weight,then decide how much you want to lose because setting a goal is very important in losing weight.
• After the goal is set,now manage your time.Decide when what should be done,planning things make it easier for you to reach the goal.When you plan dedicate some time for your exercise.

• When it comes to losing weight the mantra is "take in fewer calories and burn more calories".So keep an watch on how much calorie you intake.
• Never forget your breakfast,its a fuel for you.
• Take home made healthy food with less oil and low salt.This is the healthiest way to lose weight,but don't forget to ban those unhealthy junk food and aerated drink.
• Add food,don't subtract ya you are hearing that correct.Just replace your food habbit ,add more fruits and vegetables in your food instead  of those unhealthy junk food.

1. 

• Drink more water half an hour before you start your meal,this make you feel full.
• Shrink your plates,serve food in a smaller plates,smaller bowls and spoons.This way you make your mind feel full first.Eat slowly so that your mind can register what you had and signals your body that it is full.
• Eat 5 to 6 smaller portion of meal instead of 3 large meals.This way your metabolism is on  always.
• Don't serve food in bowls or platters instead serve it in the plates.So once the plate is empty you are finished no going for second round.         
• Avoid white foods , they contain large amount of carbohydrates which leads to weight gain.
• Eat more spicy food  because the spicy ones turn up your digestive fire,causing your body to temporarily burn more calories.

• Eat fresh fruits instead of juice beacause whole fruit has fibre content and keeps you satisfied for a longer time.
• Eat more calories before noon, the more you eat in the morning the less you feel hungry in the evening . In the morning your calories burn off faster than in the evening  .
• Never eat in front of the TELEVISION  because you never know how much you had.Trying eating at the same time everyday and eat only when you feel hungry.

  EXERCISE    :

1. Food habbit is not the only thing that determine your weight loss,exercise is also an important factor.
2. Exercise helps you to burn your fat fast and slim down.
3. Going to gym can be very helpful but for those who can't walking is the best exercise.
4. Take brisk walking for 45mins to 1hour to lose the weight,if you have to maintain your weight then 30 mins walking would do good.
5. 
6. Take up the stairs every chance you get instead of the lift,this way you are burning more calories.
7. Put on the music and dance to it with your kids.This way you are burning your calories and spending time with your kids.
8. If possible get a pedometer,it helps to count your steps.On  average sedentary people take only 2000 to 3000 steps a day,so when you have a watch on it you can walk 2000 steps more which will help you to maintain your weight.
9. Cleaning your house,washing your clothes and washing your car can be the best exercise and it helps you to burn more calorie.Once in a week spend some time for all this work and burn out your calories.
