While you concentrate on losing loads of weight, don t ignore toning. Only if your legs, thighs, butt, arms, back and abs are toned will you look lean and fit. So add exercises that help you tone better. Here s today s plan:
Morning If you laze around in the morning, you are going to feel lazy all day. So no matter what, don t hit the snooze button. Get up and go out for a walk with your loved one or pet. The fresh air and sunlight will automatically make you feel happy.
Breakfast Don t give up on carbohydrates completely. There is a reason eggs are paired with toast for breakfast. So when having eggs, try the boiled or poached variety instead of oily omelets and don t forget to accompany it with multigrain or whole wheat bread.
Lunch For a quick and delicious lunch, try this skinny tandoori chicken recipe by celebrity nutritionist Marika Johanson. The recipe uses yogurt and capsicum that make it very nutritious. Above all, it takes just 30 minutes to prepare it.
Snacks If you are at work and finding it difficult to avoid outside food during snack time, carry snacks along. You can keep a bottle of assorted nuts and dry fruits or some roasted chana in your locker. Here are 6 healthy snacks for office that you can try.
Dinner Instead of a traditional dinner of roti and sabzi, enjoy a soup and salad tonight. You can try the pumpkin apple soup and beetroot and spinach salad. The salad has a low glycemic index and is rich in iron. It will also boost your haemoglobin count.
