  • Foods that lower cortisol (stress hormone) levels help in reducing belly fat. Vitamin-C rich citrus fruits and pomegranate juice will lower cortisol levels. Foods rich in omega-3 like mackerel, salmon and walnuts not only lower cortisol, but also boost metabolism.
  • Don’t forget to include plenty of fibrous foods such as broccoli, peas, cabbage and oats in your diet as they are the best fat burners.
  • Make sure you get your hormone levels checked regularly. Eating flaxseed and chia seeds is a good way to keep your hormones balanced.
  • Eating smaller portions of food with at least a 20-minute gap is advisable. This way you will avoid over-eating but also not get hungry.
  • Avoiding oily food is always a good idea. If you must, try switching your regular cooking oil with coconut oil.

Nutritionists Naini Setalvad and Neha Chandna suggest starting your day with oats porridge or upma, fresh fruits, dates and nuts. Multigrain bread with eggs is also a healthy option. During iftar, break the fast with dates and follow with soups and salads. Try different cooking techniques such as steaming, boiling, grilling or roasting for chicken and fish. Also include plenty of green vegetables and curd in your diet. Read: Expert recommended diet plan for a healthy Ramadan
