Ditch food that have a high glycaemic index
Simply cutting down on your carb intake may not be sufficient. The moment you load up on high glycaemic index foods, your blood sugar levels spike up suddenly. This excess sugar would eventually be stored as fat, and result in a bigger belly. Low glycaemic foods do not cause sudden sugar spikes, they delay your digestion and are also rich in fibre. Therefore, eat natural fats like nuts, legumes and vegetables without starch and steer clear of potatoes, white rice, white bread and sugary canned juices as much as possible.
Switch to fibre-rich foods and wholegrains
You must include high fibre foods such as leafy vegetables and wholegrains in your diet. Wholegrains have a positive impact in maintaining satiety. Eat a lot of beans, brown or wholegrain rice, nuts and dry fruits to maximize on your fibre intake.
Cycling
If someone tells you that you can have great fun while exercising, it is hard to believe, isn’t it? However, cycling is actually known to be the best exercise for overall growth. In the jungle of fuelled automobiles, it is necessary to take out sometime for this fun exercise.
Gym workouts
There is nothing better than devoting at least one hour to the gym, doing vigorous workouts varying from different types and intensities under professional supervision. Also, eating habits are important, as diet and exercise always walk hand-in-hand.
Sleep tight
You need eight hours of good quality sleep daily. People might argue that it is not essential, but sleep deprivation not only damages you health, but also induces weight gain. Having a healthy sleep pattern will help you to be fit and to improve your mental strength and reduce the possiblity of depression.
