Tips..

Some who are getting married may have problems with their weight. I did when my wedding was approaching. I desperately want to gain weight at least 3 kilos. I don’t want to look thin and pale. Definitely my hubby will not have mood looking at me… hahahahaha.. na.. I encounter an article on healthy eating tips. Here it is.. just to share some with you all.

- have breakfast within 30 minutes of waking up to stabilize blood sugar and reduce sugar cravings
- consume a mix of colourful vegetables every day
- use fats and oils sparingly. Olive, canola, and peanut oils, avocados, nuts and nuts butters and fish as well as vitamins and minerals.
- Don’t skip meals. Eating increases your metabolism, so eat four to five small meals every three to four hours
- Have low-fat, low-sugar snacks at hand to combat hunger and prevent over-eating.
- Increase eating of natural foods and reduce processed foods. Natural foods such as fruits and vegetables are, for the most part, already low in calories.
- Eat sweet sparingly and cut out white foods like sugar, flour and bread. They raise insulin levels, protecting your stored fat instead of burning it off.
- Drink at least 8 glasses of water. Water flushes out the system and eliminates armful toxins. It forces the body to work more efficiently, speeds up metabolism, and makes it easier to lose weight and burn fat.
- Eat slowly. Chew your food completely to decrease your appetite.
- Do not eat after 8 p.m. as this is the time your digestion starts to slow down. However, if you’re famished and absolutely must eat, take a small piece of fruit or a cup of herbal tea.
