EAT YOUR WAY TO A LEAN BODY

EAT YOUR WAY TO A LEAN BODY

Yes, the hours you spend in the gym are important: they're directly proportionate to the inches on your waist. But on their own, they're not enough to get you that washboard stomach. You also need to change your diet.
If you're worried about a life sentence of bland 'health' foods, panic not. We've picked out five foods that contain low calories and actually do your dirty (fat burning) work for you.  You don’t have to skip meals to lose weight; you just have to eat right. Here is a list of ninja foods that will help your body inch its way to an ideal shape.

Honey:
The sweet stuff is widely known as an antioxidant, which detoxifies and energizes you. But the less known is that honey also mobilizes the extra fat deposits in the body. Eating two teaspoons of fructose rich honey before bedtime is the right dose to kick start your metabolism while you are sleeping.

Asparagus:  
Asparagus belongs to the negative calorie food group. It also has high quantities of Folate and vitamin K, which ensure you have a healthy heart and a healthy body. If that's not enough to convince you about the benefits of asparagus, might we add that it’s also an aphrodisiac?

Olive oil:
When it comes to fat, there are three types: the good, the bad and the ones that will give you a heart attack. Olive oil is the good guy in the equation. With a high content of mono-unsaturated fat, olive oil is on your side - there's a reason the French and Italians swear by it. 

Green tea:
Going green this year will do you more good that you might think. Having a cuppa or two or this brew will get you vitalized and ready to take on your cardio routine. A study conducted in Birmingham, UK showed that green tea increased fat oxidation by 17% and it's also believed to help reduce cholesterol. Grabbing a swig of green tea in the mornings will also help you maintain good oral hygiene.

Grape fruit:
Talk about bittersweet. The very same thing that gives grapefruit that bitter tinge, Naringin, helps you burn flab. You don’t have to follow the grapefruit diet, or survive only on grapefruit (please don’t), just remember to grab a bowl of grapefruit whenever you can and imagine the fat disappearing with every bite you take.

How To Lose Weight?

How To Lose Weight?



 


Nutri Health Systems is a pioneer is weight management industry. The team provide solutions to fast and effective weight loss that is permanent. Fad dieting, crash diets, yo-yo dieting and heat machines are concepts of the past. None of these means are encouraged at Nutri Health Systems.

Weight Loss is considered as a multi-faceted process. It is not about just eating less. It is actually about doing lots more.

Inorder to lose weight effectively, firstly find a dietician compatible with your temperament. Many prefer an expert who is aggressive and strict whereas some of us rather approach a counsellor who is understanding and kind. At Nutri Health Systems the diet experts are selected with recommendable scholastic aptitude and refined etiquettes.

Talk to your diet expert about every factor that disturbs you about your weight and all that concerns that you have about your weight loss. A good weight loss strategy is a two way communication process between both dietician and the dieter. We encourage a healthy conversation at Nutri Health Systems between the expert and patient.

Secondly, understand your body constitution. At Nutri Health Systems, each individual is considered as a body type. Nutri Genetics is given high importance and so blood group and ayurvedic constitution analysis is a must before diet plans are made.

Thirdly, diets are planned which are based on lifestyle, age, blood group and Ayurveda science.

After, plans are ready. Weekly follow ups begin and you will start seeing weight loss results. An ideal way to lose weight is ½ to 1 kg per week. You will notice that 3-4 kgs of weight drops quickly in the beginning; this is water loss. Actual weight drops after the first 3-4 kgs. Slow and steady weight loss is the best. The faster you lose, the quicker it all comes back.

A good weight loss diet ensures that you don't lose muscle mass. If you lose muscle, your chances of weight rebound are greater and you will find it difficult to bulge the weight later.

A good dietician accepts that your body is not a machine or a challenge. She will respect your response to the plans. And, a good dieter needs to understand that weight loss diets are not magic pills. Initially with compatibilty assessment the dietician understands your body and moves forward accordingly.

Nutri Health Systems; weight management plan has received accolade for its scientific, well researched program which is a unique combination of latest nutrition updates and ayurvedic diets. The team is empathetic, considerate and will be willing enough to reassure you at each step on how to lose weight effectively and ensure no weight rebound.
