portion control ; kick start your journey to weight loss

first of all, we need to understand that weight loss or shedding pounds is not an overnight process, it takes time, strong motivation, rock solid will power and persistence

basically, if a person wants to lose weight he or she needs to eat fewer calories and he needs to burn more which means one thing; portion control.

portion control is a very basic thing which is often neglected by the masses but it really kickstarts the journey towards the ultimate weight loss goal.
here are some of the ways to cut portions and lose fat;

Eat less of sugary and processed foods;

processed foods are staples of most households. a day doesn't start until one has consumed some form of processed food whether it is cereal, bagels or doughnuts. I am not saying that one should completely eliminate them from their diet. no! if you completely eliminate them you will soon fall back into the same old habits. instead  cut back on processed foods and try to eat more of whole grains, natural and organic foods.

Water ( zero calorie and fat-free drink )

Try to drink a big glass of water half an hour before you start your meal. filling yourself up with h2o will decrease the chances of overeating and will also prevent dehydrating. 

apart from this water is also good for healthy hairs, skin and overall wellbeing.

Never eat from the package 

never eat from the package because when you directly eat from the package there is a very high chance of overeating.always read the serving sizes and then divide the package into individual servings and then eat according to that.

Add more vegetables

filling up your plate with healthy vegetables is another way of cutting down on calories. vegetables are low on calories and easily fill you up without adding too much load on the body.
vegetables have high fiber content that fills you up. vegetables also have a number of important micronutrients important for normal functioning of the body.

my bumpy journey

hello ! this is my first blog post. in this first post, I would like to share my personal story and why I am starting this blog.

ok so from the beginning of times,  I was an unhealthy and obese kid. people used to make fun of me where ever I would go whether to school, to the supermarket or to the playground. my classmates never allowed me to play with them just because of my unhealthy physique. my eating habits were quite messed up, to be honest, but I never really cared. the usual taunts and comments of people drove me towards emotional eating. 

when I was in 10th standard my weight hit an extreme 200 pounds. my health started to decline. I was low on stamina and energy nearly all of the times. then one day something hit me and I decided to change myself for the better. I decided to adopt a healthier lifestyle. by adopting a few strategies and certain workouts I was able to shed 60 pounds in a period of 3 years or so. it took me quite some time but the results were fruitful with the grace of GOD 

In this blog, I would share some techniques, methods and ways and plus some nutrition advice which would surely help a lot of people.

I believe experience is a very effective teacher, what it taught me i would love to share the same with all of you

I hope you will find my blog useful and we will have a wonderful journey together, helping each other along the way
