Diwali ke side effects...

Diwali was full of happiness but for losing weight it was a Diwala! (Oh it’s a Hindi word for bankruptcy)... and you know that it is, your weighing machine doesn’t lie.

It is understandable that you had to see your friends and families this Diwali and you couldn’t avoid to eat what they offered you and you were well over in calorie count, and you could not stick to your diet. So all that weight loss and hard work has gone in drains?

Here are a few ideas to remind you to get back to fitness path:

1. Don’t skip meals, and try not to go more than 4 or 5 hours without eating (post festival compensation doesn’t work that way!) Feeling empty at mealtime may hinder your ability to make healthy choices and trigger overeating.
2. Adjust your meals a little. Eat less in breakfast and at lunch and then have a larger dinner with guests…If they are still there.
3. Avoid coffee, tea and cold drinks if possible for November month. While they do give you a short energy burst, there is a drastic drop in energy after about half an hour which might make you even more tired and you tend to eat more everywhere you go. For stable energy levels, drink plenty of water.
4. Chose healthiest possible options and keep portion sizes small now. Try having nuts instead of sweets and bakery items. Diwali is over so should be the parties. Take a break now.
5. Use the stairs where possible and burn some calories, consider that as a workout.
6. Drink 1 glass of water every 1 hour so that you don’t get dehydrated and you will automatically be eating less.
7. Try to balance out those Diwali calorie bonanza fat tires in problem areas with a healthy, vegetable meal at home. Eat lighter for next 2 weeks.
8. Last but not the least, if you can’t lose that weight because it’s a right time to do so then we are back after a long Diwali break of 4 days and you can join us.

Diwali, we are sure was fun for you and now is the time to give some fun to your body. Be smart and eat right.
