Best diet for weight loss!

Best diet for weight loss! Drinking 3L of water everyday. Avoiding processed foods as much as possible. (My way of cutting down my daily calorie intake). Eating fruits instead! Balance diet. More vegetables, more protein, less carbs (because I used to love white rice that much). Cook your own food!!!! — “Correct food proportions” Cut down your intake of alcohol, sodas, artificially flavored juices, energy drinks, anything that is not organic. Your body don’t need it. If you are hungry, grab some nuts (almonds for example) and drink water!!! you might be thirsty only. The more you eat healthy foods on a regular basis, the more you will crave for them.

According to Dr. Rangan Chatterjee, there are 4 pillars of a healthy lifestyle. 1. Nutrition(And it is not called Diet. Diet is what you follow for a few days.

What is a healthy lifestyle?

What is a healthy lifestyle? A healthy lifestyle means being healthy in various aspects of our life - Physical health - Diet  - Our diet is basically anything that we eat on a regular basis. A healthy diet is whole foods, less processed foods, and having balanced meals.

Having good amounts of vegetables, fruits, leafy greens, whole grains like rice, lentils, healthy fats like pure oils, avocado/nuts, proteins like lean meat, eggs, soy. This also includes avoiding foods that cause you allergies or indigestion. For me, dairy causes indigestion as I am lactose intolerant and I stay away from it as much as possible. Some people are gluten intolerant and should try to avoid grains. This also includes understanding what you’re lacking and supplementing it; or to get to a healthy weight maybe you need less or more of some element. Knowing this and working...
