Getting in Shape is Now Easy..!!

Irrespective of whether you're a man or a woman, everyone is having an Innate desire to be desired. These suggestions may provide you with jump start effort to look great from this day onward.

Watch and cut back on portion sizes: 

• Eat 5-6 small, low-calorie meals a day, but ensure they are balanced nutritionally. Never take second helpings, and drink plenty of water.

Exercise (45-60 minutes every day) -- 

• just keep moving (Dance, skip, take the stairs, anything you feel makes you sweat.

Breakfast-

• Eat a good and light Breakfast every day and never skip a meal -- Carry a fruit and 6-8 nuts with freshly-cut veggies to chomp on. No cold coffees, fruit milk shakes and juices.

Lunches 

• must include small salads with no oil -- Have lemon juice dressings, low-fat yoghurt, dal and chapati or grilled meats at every meal. No spicy curries, heavy biryanis, restaurant soups, breads and definitely no desserts.

Try 

• bean salads, bhuna chana, raisins with a couple of almonds, lentil sprouts, a small cup of skimmed milk or fat-free yoghurt. No namkeens, cream biscuits, pakoras, samosas, kebabs etc

Ask your partner for help -- 

• Eat in rather than eating out. The chances of overeating or eating unhealthy, fatty foods are higher when you eat out. Go dancing after dinner and let those calories burn off, sweat out the fat and feel aglow with the flowing endorphins.

Avoid all alcohol, it's where those calories creep in -- 

• A rum and cola here and a 'lite' beer there add up fast, so drink water instead. It hydrates you without the additional calories. Alcohol adds an easy 100-150 calories per serving. Ditto for sodas, juices and cocktails. Add a slice of lemon to water if you crave some flavour.

Skip prepared desserts -- 

• Instead, enjoy ripe fruit dripping with juices, they make for a luscious dessert that you can share with your partner.

Get a good night's rest (mine favorite) -- 

• Your body rejuvenates itself when you sleep like a baby. Lack of sleep increases stress and decreases your ability to discriminate -- perfect scenarios for emotional overeating. Get adequate rest and if you find yourself in an emotional and stressful situation with your family or work (which you and I both know happen from time to time), get onto a phone and talk it over with friends, instead of turning to food for comfort.

Remind yourself, you are worth every calorie and every inch..!!!
