  • On our journey of weight loss, sleep plays a very important role, so much so that inadequate sleep can induce weight gain. To explain, “sleeping for less than six to eight hours can cause dysregulation of ghrelin and leptin that may lead to increased appetite,” she said. Also, inadequate sleep can disturb meal digestion which is why sleep-deprived people often suffer from hormonal imbalances and crave for junk food rich in carbohydrates, which leads to weight gain. Since sleep regulates metabolism, lack of sleep equates to lower metabolism which will eventually lead to weight gain.
  • Exercising for weight loss is essential but overdoing it could be equally harmful. Give rest to the body and exercise only 5 to 6 days in a week, for 45 to 60 minutes, ensuring to include a mix of cardio and strength training. Over-exercising can increase appetite and you may see no weight loss. Excessive exercise can also lead to a high uric acid in blood which can cause joint pain. It is equally important to workout with an expert to avoid risk of injury.

They decreasie carbohydrates but increase protein intake which, in the long run, could increase uric acid and harm the kidney and liver. Whole carbohydrates induce a satiety value which is very important part of a balanced and sustainable diet.
  • Weight loss is a personal journey that is dependent on a lot of factors, including discipline, diet and fitness. Proper sleep and rest are important, too.
  • Experts say that when trying to lose a few kilos, one needs to be mindful of what they put on their plates, along with doing portion-control, which entails including many healthy food items in the diet, but consuming them in specific portions only.
  • Nutritionist Azra Khan took to Instagram to explain how weight loss/fat loss can happen with eating rice, roti, ghee. “It’s all about balance,” she wrote in the caption next to a video in which she explained what an ideal dinner plate should look like for those planning to lose weight.
  • Calling it a “healthy and nutritious plate”, Khan showed how it has a bit of rice, a little paneer, some dal and salad.

She said she recommended this plate to someone who likes to eat carbs at night, for it enables them to sleep better. She suggested that a little bit of carbs at night — in the form of rice — can be considered.
