If you are working hard on your way to a slimmer body, here are few things you must know, as healthy food too can lead to weight gain.
Eating right is not just the kind of food but also the amount of food. So here are key things to remember when you are trying to lose weight, as per LA Times.
1. Portion control
The importance of controlling your portions cannot be emphasized enough. “One of the biggest mistakes people make when trying to lose weight or improve their health is only focusing on what they eat and not how much," says Paulette Lambert, nutrition director at California Health & Longevity Institute.
2. Track 'how much' you are eating
Count calories, literally. Medically supervised weight-loss programs stress on journaling the anmount of calories you intake.
3. Buy a food scale
To reinforce the habit of eating the correct amount of food, buy a food scale.
4. Avoid healthy food binge eating
Yes that too is a thing. People tend to overeat fruits such as bananas and avocado.
5. Cut down calories, literally
Chop the nuts for your salad instead of adding whole of it. Instead of directly adding oil, vegetables etc into the vessel, use a spoon so you avoid adding too much.
6. Read labels
Check labels for all processed food.
