Nutritionist reveals how to eat for weight loss
Sharing her post Pranjal wrote in the caption, "First off, you need to acknowledge and accept the way you eat now isn't the way you want to be eating for the rest of your life. Because this needs to be a lifestyle change, not a diet." She added, “Diets end and all the weight comes back after it ends.”
"Second, know that this will take time. Trying to incorporate everything at once will tire you out and is not sustainable. So start small. Remember, it's a marathon not a sprint," says Pranjal.
Here are a few diet tips shared by the nutritionist for sustainable weight loss:
1. Incorporate more protein in your meals
Protein sources: Chicken, Fish, Prawns, Eggs, Soya chunks, Paneer, Tofu, Greek yogurt, and protein supplements like whey and plant-based options.
2. Start your meal with salad
Simple options like cucumber and carrots are easy to add.
3. Choose complex carbs
Fruits, vegetables, and whole grains are your best bet.
4. Drink plenty of water
Aim for 4 litres of water daily.
5. Focus on meal quality
Always have healthy options on hand. Include nuts and seeds for healthy fats and micronutrients.
6. Add, don't subtract, from your go-to meals
For example, try adding pan-fried paneer or chicken to your dal chawal, along with cucumbers and carrots.
7. Enjoy your journey
Remember, you can't hate yourself into health. Love and support yourself throughout the process.
Pranjal's go-to meals: Overnight oats, egg rolls with boiled or pan-seared chicken, and a veggie omelette.
