Let us understand it with an example. Through Portion control, it means that if your lunch looks like 3 chapattis and 2 bowls of vegetables. Reduce 1 chapatti and some portion from each of the vegetables. Fill that portion with green leafy vegetables. Basically, it is reducing the quantity of food we eat and filling it with salad.

6. Sleep

Sleep is extremely crucial in weight loss. Make sure you get 7–8 hours of sleep every day. Sleeping helps you to fight against your cravings and make healthy choices for yourself. Also, it affects your appetite if you have poor sleep. Apart from this, sleeping can also make your skin glow and dark circles away. It will be wonderful to switch to healthy sleeping.

7. Try Intermittent Fasting

Intermittent fasting is a popular approach followed to reduced weight. In this fasting, one needs to follow the eating patterns accordingly. For instance, you have to eat from 12 noon to 6 p.m., keeping calories in mind. Low calory drinks are allowed before or after the timings like green tea, black coffee and water.

8. Eliminate Liquid calories

If calories are gained by consuming beverages, it is known as “empty calories”. It may sound stupid, but drinks like soft drinks, juice, tea, coffee, sweetened soda contain a lot of calories. These beverages provide extra energy without proving any sort of benefit to our health. If you intake a lot of drinks, try to substitute those with water, green tea or black coffee. Water is calorie-free whereas, green tea and black coffee contain a certain amount of caffeine which is not at all healthy.

Weight loss is a gradual process. One cannot be in shape within few hours. It requires dedication, patience, motivation and regularity. Hope that the above-mentioned ways work for you.
