Being physically active is very important if you want to stay fit. Eating healthy is just one part of the fitness plan. Sound sleep, less stress and more activity are the other parts and you have to make time for all these during the day. If you achieve this, you will definitely see the results.
Morning Find a nice corner of your house when you wake in the morning and sit there comfortably, preferably in padmasana. You need to practice meditation for just 10 minutes in the morning to stay calm and experience productivity at work.
Breakfast A breakfast rich in carbohydrates is ideal as it fuels you up during the day and gets enough time for digestion thus not interfering with your weightloss program. You can make this whole wheat egg pizza for breakfast today and serve it with a glass of warm turmeric latte to beat the winter chills.
Lunch Your lunch must be rich in fibre to prevent any junk food cravings. You can try this Italian recipe of healthy brown rice risotto which uses no oil and minimal cheese. It s a perfect treat even when you are on a weightloss regime and good for heart health too.
Snacks A healthy creamy sauce and nachos sound like the perfect evening snack even if you aren t very hungry. Munching in something light during the evening is important so that you can sustain till dinner time. You can make these healthy nachos from scratch and store them.
Dinner Since breakfast, lunch and snacks were rich in fibre and carbohydrates, stick to a protein-rich light dinner today. You can make this quick and easy stir fried vegetable tofu salad. It s a complete filling meal in itself.
Exercises
At home You don t need to always dedicate an hour or less for home exercises. If you can manage to stay active with daily chores and walk up to 10,000 steps daily, losing weight will be an easier task. You can use a pedometer or some fitness app to measure your daily steps and walk around as much as you can to achieve the number.
Yoga Just like your gym exercises, you can add some basic equipment to your yoga practice too to enhance it. Blocks are one such fitness equipment you can invest in. They provide support during various yoga asanas. For instance, during setubandhasana or the bridge pose you can place it behind your back for added support.
At the gym When performing ab exercises, add weights to make them more effective. You can use a medicinal ball or dumbbells while doing these ab exercises at the gym today to achieve toned abs.
Sleep well tip Set a sleep pattern for your body. Go to bed at the same time every day for a fortnight and you will automatically fall asleep at the same time after that. Do not cheat on your sleep time if and when possible.
