diet plans

1. Create easy meal plans. We have limited time in a day. Most of us cannot spend 2-3 hours in a kitchen. We can get an hour to prepare all 3-5 meals. Do not go for unknown plans. Cook meals which are easy and familiar.

2. Eat complete nutrition. Your meals must include protein, fats, carbs, dairy, vegetables, snacks, and fruits.

3. Drink Green Tea/Hot water/Lime Juice before breakfast.

4. Avoid artificial sweeteners, alcohol, soft drinks, commercially produced juices, fast food, fries, sugar, salt, and caffeine.

5. Create an excel plan and store all of your diet plans in the excel sheet. Put complete recipes along with their nutritional benefits. You can print this sheet and save it in your kitchen.

6. Crash dieting is safe but do not use them too often. Crash dieting is only recommended when you need it the most. Do not start rapid weight loss plans without the consent of your doctor.

7. Different programs are designed for different people. You might be familiar with dieting programs, medically supervised programs, self-help programs and fitness programs. These programs have the online and offline versions. You can use different apps and online tools to improve your health. Similarly, you can attend seminars and meetings to educate yourself on health topics.

8. Time is the key to weight loss. Losing weight is possible when you do the right things at the right time. Weight gain is common among people who eat their meals at the wrong time. Ideally, there should be a 5-hour difference between each meal. For example, you do the breakfast on 7 Am, eat the lunch at 1pm and eat the dinner at 7pm. You can have snacks and fruits between the meals.

9. No weight loss plan can be successful without an excellent exercise routine. Do whatever you can to keep moving. Do cycling, or run a mile to do the exercise. The best time to do exercise is in the morning.

10. If your diet plan contains same dishes, you will get bored very quickly. Create something versatile and delicious. Experiment with different recipes. Each goal requires devotion, focus, and determination.

These 10 weight loss tips will guide you about using diet plans. The important task is to be creative. Enjoy your foods. Best of luck.

6 Commonly Asked Questions About Working Out

We get asked a lot of times various questions related to health and fitness. Most common questions are; what are the best methods or ways to workout more efficiently, especially within time restraints.

So we decide to compiled a list of the top 6 questions we receive in hopes it can benefit some of you out there. 

workout

What is the best type of cardiovascular exercise to do?

Interval training has been proven to improve cardiovascular fitness and body composition quicker than any other method. It is also a lot more “fun” than running on a treadmill for an hour.

How should I engage in weight training?

The most efficient way is circuit training. You will get maximal growth hormone output and get a great cardio workout at the same time.

At my gym, I see people doing cardio first. Is this the best way?

I would advise you to do a 5-10 minute warm up on a cardio machine such as a treadmill or elliptical to prepare your body for the stress that you are about to put it through. As to whether to do your cardio training or resistance training first, I would say if you are a runner, do cardio first. If you are a bodybuilder, you should hit the weights first. You always get more out of the first part of your workout so you want to focus on that part of training. If you are a housewife, I would mix it up and see which one your body responds to better.

How important are aerobics and fitness classes for weight loss?

If you find that you are more of a social creature and need the motivation of a group, then fitness classes are the way to go. These classes are filled with like-minded people with the same goals: get fit and have fun. If going to fitness classes will get you to remain active and consistent, DO IT!

I don’t have time to workout. What can I do to get fit and lose weight?

If you are short on time, then you should do 3 sets of 50 heavy two-hand kettlebell swings with one minute rest periods. If you need a cardio workout, high intensity Tabata sprints are the way to go. This will only take 8 minutes.

When I work out, I get really sore the next day or so after. What can I do to ease the soreness?

Make sure you are performing a cool down after every workout. Drink 8 ounces of tart cherry juice after every intense workout. This will decrease soreness by decreasing the inflammation markers in your body. Some other things that may help are contrast baths, ice baths, deep tissue massages, foam rolling, and staying hydrated.
