You should not eat these foods in the morning

Like many, if you also believe that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, you need to reconsider it. Because some people are doing much better when they skip breakfast. It doesn’t mean you should skip too, but you need to watch the food you eat in the morning. Eating an unhealthy breakfast can do more harm than good. Our today heath tips series will provide you the best and worst foods to eat in the morning. 

Health tips of the day – An early morning diet that includes fibre, protein and healthy fat can give you the energy to stay active throughout the day and keep you full. On the contrary, eating an unhealthy breakfast can make you feel sluggish, make you gain weight and increase your risk of chronic disease.  Here are 3 foods you should avoid eating in the morning.

Fortified breakfast cereals

Cereal packages may claim about containing whole grains, or many nutrients like vitamin A and iron, but these are all marketing strategies to woo buyers. The fact is that most breakfast cereals contain mostly refined (not whole) grains and sugar. These cereals are highly processed, contain artificially added nutrients and are often loaded with sugar. And high sugar intake is known to raise the risk of obesity, type 2 diabetes, and heart disease

Pancakes and Waffles

These two items may be your favourite choices for weekend breakfasts, but not for your health. Both pancakes and waffles are very high in refined flour, which researchers say can contribute to insulin resistance and obesity. Pancake syrup also contain high-fructose corn syrup, which can lead to inflammation that drives insulin resistance, and cause prediabetes or type 2 diabetes.

Flavoured non-fat yogurts

A fat-free, sugar-sweetened fruit yogurt should not make into your breakfast menu. Many flavoured non-fat yogurts contain high amount of sugar that is not good for your health. Moreover, fat is not as bad as you think. Researchers say fat can help keep you full because it takes longer to digest than carbs. Instead opt for a bowl of plain, whole-milk Greek yogurt topped with berries for a healthy breakfast.

5 Common Mistakes That Stop You From Losing Weight

 Most of the people in the world want to shed weight, but the problem is how? There are so many diets, which aren't easy to follow or some of which are even harmful for health, as they ask you to go off carbs completely, which isn't good. Some stress on too much protein, which again is not good for the kidneys. To be honest, I was put on very strict diet, eating 2 slices of bread and little lentils for lunch, breakfast was fruits and salad, dinner same as lunch with some veges. I did lose weight, but ultimately got very sick and once I started taking rice and vegetables, I gained my weight. But, right now, I'm losing weight, by not omitting any food from my diet, including sweets, I've, but in small quantity. I walk most of the days for 25-30 minutes, though, I study, blog, crochet, keep getting up often from my chair. The main ingredient, which really helps to burn your stomach fat is 1" of cinnamon, which I simmer in 200 ml of water for 5-7 minutes, which I pour in a glass having 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric powder and 1" ginger finely chopped, mix it all well, let it seep without covering for 10 minutes. This is my morning tea most of the days. The best compliment I got was from our son, who said that my circumference has come down ! It also curbs your appetite and gives a feeling of fullness when I eat little. I eat lots of veges, less rice, in between fruits and nuts.

These are 5 common weight loss diet mistakes we need to stop making:

1. Overdoing the proteins: Merely loading up on all the protein that you can get your hands on, is not going to make you lose weight. You need to determine the right amount of protein your body needs, according to your fitness goals and give your body, just that much.

2. Not eating enough vegetables: Vegetables are low-calorie alternatives to other snacks. But somehow, we just end up ignoring them or not eating enough of them. They're nutritious and hence, are essential to ensure a healthy weight loss.

3. Expecting too much too soon: You are not going to become lighter after just a day of eating right. That is not going to happen even in seven days or maybe even two weeks. But weight loss will surely come, if you just stick to one expert-suggested diet regime. Try maintain losing anywhere between 1/2-1 kg. per week, you can reach your target with walking and following what I've written earlier.

4. Having a 'light' breakfast: Skipping breakfast or having just a glass of juice for breakfast is a cardinal sin when you're dieting. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so make sure you make it nutritious and filling. For e.g., have oats porridge, you can combine with ragi pdr., to give you more calcium and iron, Or have 2 idlis OR have cornflakes with fruits and nuts, then mid-morning have fruits or salad when hungry, as they're less in calories.

5. Bingeing after workouts: A lot many of use workouts as excuse to binge afterwards. But what we're actually doing is throwing all our hard work in the gym, down the drain. Deciding a cheat day and controlling the portion of your 'cheat meal' might be a better option, if you absolutely must indulge in your favourite greasy comfort foods.
