Exercise and sufficient sleep: Both are very important to enhance your body’s digestion and nutrient assimilation. This keeps your system at harmony and helps you attain early satiety.
Take sufficient protein for breakfast: The digestion time of protein is longer in comparison to carbs. This results in slow release of calories and the body gets enough time to use them more judiciously.
Eat small but frequent meals: To allow sufficient and continuous supply of glucose to brain. If there is a lack of fresh glucose our brain tends to slow down and so does our metabolism.
Make it a habit to read the food labels before you buy any new food: This would help you calculate total calories per serving and hence to make a smart purchase.
Turn off the television and keep the mobiles and books away while eating: This would help you concentrate on the food and its flavor. Studies have shown that we attain satiety earlier when proper attention is paid to the food.
Start the meals with clear soups, buttermilk or even plain water followed by salads and veggies: Include whole grains and pulses to add more fiber to the food. Doing so will make you feel full with lesser food, translating to lesser calorie intake.
Fibre and Protien: Invited for a get together? Great, but do remember to eat some fiber or protein rich food before leaving home. This would suppress the hunger and save you from overeating. Consider taking a smaller plate and avoid successive helpings.
Stop stocking ready-to-eat foods at home: Easy availability of food results in tactless eating. Also, say goodbye to fast-food. You may even consider changing your route to office if it happens to have several fast-food joints.
Cut down on alcohol: It contains empty calories that provide no nourishment at all.
