Although post the lockdown amidst the COVID-19 outbreak, there has been some relaxation in the form of an unlocking procedure, there are a number of people who are still preferring to stay indoors. One of the major challenges while staying indoors has been managing the increasing weight at home as exercising options are fewer specially for those who used to visit the gym on a regular basis.
Nutritionist Avni Kaul says one can still manage weight with home-based exercises, good lifestyle habits, and healthy foods.
Food always has a crucial role when it comes to managing the body fat along with exercising. But do remember that there is no particular food that can help one reduce or gain fat.
In this blog, Nutritionist and Dietician Avni Kaul talks about the foods that will help you to get rid of fat while you are stuck at home.
Cinnamon
Cinnamon has a stabilizing impact on your blood sugar levels. This can curb your appetite, specifically in people with type 2 diabetes. Almost everyone can benefit by consuming cinnamon. Have some in your coffee, tea, or curds to add sweetness without adding calories.
Green Tea
Green tea can promote weight loss by stimulating your body to burn fat. Green tea contains catechins, a type of phytochemical that can briefly affect metabolism. To get the maximum benefit, you need to drink green tea 2 to 3 times a day. Try having your tea hot, because it takes longer to drink, giving a soothing, mindful experience.
Watermelon
Foods those are rich in water take up more place in your gut. This signals your body that you have had enough to eat and leaves less room for other foods. Several raw fruits and vegetables are full of water and nutrients and are low in calories. Watermelon is a top example. It is a good source of the antioxidant lycopene and provides you some vitamins A and C, too.
Apples and Pears
Apples and pears are also high in water content. Have them with the peels for additional fiber, which will keep you full longer. Opt for whole fruits instead of fruit juice. You will get more fiber. Chewing the fruits takes longer and you will burn a few calories chewing, as opposed to gulping down a juice or smoothie.
Berries
Similar to other fruits, berries are rich in water and fiber, that can keep you full longer. They are also sweet; satisfy your sweet tooth for a fraction of the calories you will get from cookies or brownies. Blueberries, raspberries, strawberries are a good example because most fruit sellers carry them and they are filled with antioxidants.
As stated above no particular food will help you reduce or gain fat. It is all a combination that needs to be done with consistent physical activity and daily exercise.
