Day by day our life is becoming too demanding and hectic and we have to spend more time in offices, have to leave early and get back late at night & late night shifts are affecting our eating pattern a lot.

Because of hectic working pattern more processed foods, instant food items are in fashion these days as they are easy to carry & can be eaten anywhere.

People don’t want to carry tiffin from home and relish office foods and always eat their food in hurry not knowing that they are gulping food without chewing and this give rise to stomach issues leading to a slower metabolism.

Even late-night eating when the metabolism of the body is at its slowest pace gives rise to weight gain & fat accumulation in the body.

Choose whole pulses like white & black chana, cowpea, kidney bean, sprouts and have them in at least two meals.

3. Vegetables & fruits: These are excellent sources of fiber and are very less in calories and require much energy for breakdown and some fibers don’t digest in human bodies need to be excreted out and absorbs fat from the body thereby reducing fat and cutting down total calorie intake.

4. Healthy Fats: Healthy fats can be eaten through nuts, fish & seeds to improve omega 3 fatty acid which is anti-inflammatory and helps in controlling visceral fat accumulation. Cut down your intake of all types of visible fats like butter, ghee, oils and avoid refined oils, and use soybean oil, sesame oil, mustard & groundnut oil as ( 1 tsp of oil = 45 calories)

5. Water: Water increases the metabolism of the body by removing the toxins & cleans the liver & it is having 0 calories. Have at least 2-3 liters of water in a day.
