Weight Loss: 5 Tips to Shed Those Extra Kilos You Gain During Festival Period


 

Diwali is all about lights, fireworks and mouth 

watering delicacies, and most of us end up with 

some weight gain after the period of festivities


1. Detox yourself




Detox yourself to flush out the toxins and 

harmful substances caused due to pollution, 

poor diet, alcohol, medications, illness and 

stress. Hence, it becomes necessary to reboot 

your body so that it can function optimally 

again. It also helps in weight loss.





2. Foods for speeding weight loss


Indian kitchens are rich in traditional herbs and 

spices like cinnamon, cumin and ajwain which 

can help in boosting the metabolism and 

stimulate weight loss without any side effects. 

Apart from these, you can also include kale, 

spinach, and collard greens in your diet to 

accelerate weight loss.


Probiotics like curd and yogurt will also help you 
to reduce bloating, improve immunity and 

prevent fluctuations in weight by promoting 

better absorption of nutrients. Legumes like 

beans, peas, chickpeas and lentils contain 

protein and fibre, all of which are beneficial for losing weight.


3. Reduce sugar intake


One of the most important facts that one must 

monitor post-Diwali is sugar intake. As you all 

have had enough of fried snacks and 

scrumptious desi sweets, it is advised to reduce 

sugar from the diet. You can consume natural 

sugar through fruits and veggies which also 

provide fibre. Refrain yourself from consuming 

processed and oily foods.


4. Diet to reduce weight


It becomes quite important to monitor your diet 

post-Diwali to cut down that extra weight. Your 

diet plays an important role in weight loss. 

Include healthy diets like oats, poha, buttermilk, 

soaked almonds, and smoothies in your 

breakfast. For lunch, you can take chapattis, dal, 

psyllium husk, Idli, and salad. Try including 

brown rice, chapattis, dry vegetables, steamed 

vegetables and moong dal in your dinner


5. Superfoods to satiate your hunger pangs


Including superfoods in your diet will not only 

satiate your hunger pangs but will also keep you 

filled. Rely on pumpkin seeds, millets like bajra 

and amaranth, chia seeds and dark chocolate to 

fill yourself with nutrients like proteins, 

manganese, zinc, iron, niacin, copper 

phosphorus, flavonols and antioxidants. This 

will also keep your energy levels up throughout the day.
