How to control obesity?
It requires a sincere approach in changing lifestyle. The main aspect of change in lifestyle is restricting of any intake of food. One is not to starve at all but manage proper eating habits of not eating more than 3 times. Three times food intake is ideal. One should only take breakfast, lunch and dinner. Avoid any other intake other than water to achieve weight loss effortlessly.
What are the key points to lose weight?
Eat less sugar.
Avoid taking any sugar-containing drinks like tea, coffee, soft drinks etc.
Avoid sugar-containing items either in breakfast, lunch or dinner.
One can take sugar-containing food two times, preferably in breakfast and lunch. Develop a habit to eat jaggery, honey as sugar-containing foods.
Avoid sugar-containing items in dinner. If one cannot avoid sugar-containing items in dinner, then at least avoid in lunch or breakfast.
At least keep 12 hours of no-eating space between dinner and breakfast. After dinner, till morning breakfast, there should be no consumption of any food except water.
One should drink water when thirsty, not often because drinking water naturally when thirsty keeps one's digestion on track. Drinking more water leads to stomach acid dilutions, which fails to give the signal to brain of empty stomach at proper time and also puts pressure on kidney.
Drinking less water is very harmful. Do not avoid thirst. Maintaining proper water intake is a must. Naturally body has inbuilt mechanisms of signalling when body is thirsty, hungry etc. One should be alert regarding the natural body signals. One should monitor his/her thirst, hunger, urination and emptying of bowels.
Monitor intake of fluid or water, depending on color of urine. Color of urine should be very light yellow. Yellow or dark yellow urine indicates water intake is less. If brownish urine, one needs to consult a doctor.
Constipation is the biggest obstacle for one to be healthy. Healthy person should have evacuation of bowels ideally once in 24 hours or maximum 2 time in 24 hours, i.e. one in the morning as soon as one gets up from bed and in the evening (if need be) 1 hour before dinner.
Constipation can be easily avoided by good eating habits. Take sugar-containing items in breakfast, rich protein-food and less carbohydrate in lunch, and little protein in dinner, some carbohydrates with salads. Dinner should be light food containing more fiber. Avoid fruits in the evening and nighttime.
Naturally, losing weight requires strict adherence to these rules:
No more than 3 times meals. It would be best if it is two times only. Lunch and dinner are best. Can allow breakfast, but avoid it if one can.
Duration of breakfast, lunch or dinner should be less than 55 minutes. This should be strictly followed.
No tea, coffee or sugar-containing drinks at all. If tea, coffee is unavoidable, take the drink without sugar (avoid any kind of sugar). Boil water and add a little tea or coffee without milk or sugar. One can add 1 teaspoon of sugar-free milk if necessary for 1 cup of tea or coffee.
Take high proteins in lunch, fewer carbohydrates so to avoid feeling lazy or needing a nap in afternoon.
Should not sleep just after taking lunch or dinner. There should be at least 2 hours of gap between sleep and meals for healthy digestive system.
Walk at least 1/2 an hour in the morning or evening to avoid constipation and build up of fat.
High intake of sugar causes fat. Avoid sugar. If one eats sugar, then exercise more to reduce extra calorie intake.
Some points of general understanding about healthy living:
Losing weight gradually and naturally is the best way rather than losing weight rapidly because one gains weight gradually, hence loss of weight should also be gradual not instantaneous. Light food at dinner helps good and sound sleep, early arousal and less acidity, No sleeping in day helps avoid acidity. Avoid stringent foods. Eat fruits in the daytime to be healthy while taking breakfast or at lunch. No fruits at dinner time. Do not drink water immediately after taking food. Half an hour to 1 hour gap for drinking water is recommended. So, the gist is, keep healthy by following above listed points.
