One of the best benefits of going on Keto is the limited intake of carbs in your diet. Once you stop following Keto, you are free to eat foods, which will also include all kinds of carbs. The one thing to be actually cautious about is slowly introducing 'good' carbs in your diet. One way to do so would be to limit the intake of processed foods, which are full of carbs and can quickly make you regain fat.

Do remember that if you have been following Keto for a while, your body might take time to get used to eating carbs again. Hence, slowly reintroduce foods to your diet so that you don't invite gastrointestinal trouble. If you are adding back carbs, start by going slow. Go for one serving a day, and slowly progress to two and more.

We reached out to some of Mumbais leading fitness trainers and nutritionists to learn how to improve our weight loss journey.

An essential lifestyle change is important in order to eat well-planned, clean meals. Making changes in snacking and shifting to water-based fruits and vegetables like watermelon and cucumber is a good way to start, says Wellness Expert Rakhee Mehta.

Give emphasis to healthy snacks that will keep you satiated so you won't overeat during your main meals. Choose healthy food combinations of protein and carbs, which will keep you full for long and give you the required energy, adds Nutritionist Neha Sahaya.

Eat less fat compared to protein and carbs. Fat has twice the number of calories. Yes it's healthy, but substitute it with more nutrient dense, low calorie fruits and vegetables, says Fitness Trainer Shivoham.

In the quest to eat healthy, people often over-consume calories, which hampers their fat loss journey. For example, suppose you have eaten clean during the day and have gotten all the nutrients you need in like carbs, proteins and fats. But you are hungry at night and you have two optionsan avocado toast or a Nutella toast. If you are trying to lose fat, what would you choose? 99% of the time, the answer I get is avocado toast. An avocado toast is roughly double the calories of a Nutella toast. At that time, youre not eating for nutrients, you are eating to satisfy a craving. Go for the lower calorie cost. Eat the Nutella toast. This may also mentally help you stay cleaner for the coming days, adds Avinash Mansukhani, Transformation Specialist and Founder of Fight The Sunrise.

Dont listen to any fad that tells you to cut carbs, because the truth is that you need all the macronutrients to optimise your body functioning. Rather than trying to cut carbohydrates, focus on the quality you choose. Brown rice, potato, barley, amaranth and millets are phenomenal choices to aid weight loss, states Neha Premjee, Weight Loss Coach.

Choose a workout you enjoy! If you like running, cycling or dancing, do more of that. Basically, you should enjoy your workout to get the most optimum results. When you enjoy the workout, your mind isnt burdened with the thought of losing weight and that's when it actually works wonders, says Kanchi Shah, Fitness Instructor.

A regular yoga practice is an excellent way to increase flexibility and stability to build muscle and tone the entire body. Practicing yoga also helps you detoxify the body, reduce stress and bring more awareness and mindfulness into your daily life, adds Yoga Expert, Samiksha Shetty.

Burn more calories than you consume. Here is where your workout becomes important. When the end goal is weight loss, a weight training program is a must. Increase your weights as you progress in your training. This will increase your intensity and help you burn more calories, states Fitness Trainer, Nyela Kapadia.

Find a workout that incorporates cardio and strength training together. While the overall calorie burn is essential to weight loss, so is replacing fat with muscle tone. If youre able to incorporate cardio and strength training together, youre being that much more efficient and will experience visible results faster, adds Mallika Tarkas Parekh, owner of Physique 57 India.

To lose weight one needs to focus not only on the food they eat, but also on other factors such as mental health, which has a direct effect on one's metabolism. You can eat all the broccoli in the world in a stressful state and put on weight. Alternately, you can eat an entire piece of cake in a happy atmosphere and yet not put on any weight, states Health Coach, Neha Ranglani.

Stress plays a major role in weight loss. It influences and increases the Cortisol in your body, which further affects Ghrelin, Leptin, and Prolactin, which interfere in weight loss. So learn to manage stress, by the way of yoga, meditation, and putting mind over matter in this case, adds Kamna Bhandari, Nutritionist and Life Coach.

Don't confuse thirst for hunger. When you're feeling hungry, first drink a glass of water, if hunger still persists, only then move towards food, as our body releases the same signal to our brain for each of these bodily needs.

Also, sleeping for eight hours is the only way to assimilate what we have consumed and then process it, says Seema Jindal Jajodia, founder of Nourish Organics.

Water is necessary for all functions in your body. Muscles are very rich in water, and proper hydration is a must for excellent performance, muscle growth, and fat loss. When you are dehydrated, your metabolism slows down as well, concludes Maya Pereira Sawant, Personal Trainer and Founder of Lean Kitchen by Maya.

7 tips from Mumbais best fitness trainers and nutritionists on how to lose weight - GQ India

Before starting off, please remember that all of us are different, and our bodies react differently to weight loss efforts.

Comparing yours with others' isn't desirable.

Also, since weight loss is a marathon (and not a sprint), some small but permanent adjustments to your lifestyle like habits, daily routine, diet, etc. can help you shed a significant amount of weight.

Let's find out more.

Skipping meals to lose weight is never a good idea.

Staying hungry leads to more cravings, which you will eventually end up satisfying with high calories. Not to mention the sheer loss of energy due to this practice.

The best move for losing weight is to eat healthy and light every 3-4 hours.

This will keep your metabolism up and running.

The fact that you need to eat regularly for losing weight is not a pass to over eat, especially junk food.

This is your chance to make healthy food choices.

To avoid unhealthy cravings, add protein to all meals. Opt for healthy snacking options like fruits, almonds or other nuts, or a salad.

Watch out for unhealthy carbohydrates, especially while eating outside.

Fiber is overall fantastic for our body.

Not only are they good for your heart, your digestive system and more, but they can also keep you full for a longer period of time, and keep your weight in check.

Green vegetables often contain healthy fiber. Along with them, chia seeds, flax seeds, berries (raspberries, blueberries, blackberries), beans, etc. are all great sources of fiber.

Fluids are important for a functional body. Plus they help in flushing out toxins to aid in weight loss.

In fact, drinking warm water, infused with lemon juice in the morning, has shown great results for weight loss.

However, during a weight loss journey, avoid sugar-sweetened beverages, such as soda.

They are high in sugar, calories, and are bad for health in general.

If you love working out, then great!

Do remember to include cardio exercises to promote fat burn. Mix them up with strength training to boost your lean muscles, and keep your metabolism active.

If going to the gym is not your jam, an hour of cycling, running, swimming or any activity that pumps up your body is an awesome addition to your routine.

Weight loss tips: Try to include protein in most of your meals

There may never be just one single way which is right for losing weight. There are a few basics like not starving yourself, getting optimum nutrition, consuming all food groups and exercising regularly need to be followed on a daily basis. However, there are other basics like eating your meals at the same time every day and making realistic choices are weight loss tips that actually work. Nutritionist Rachel Paul, who goes by the name of the name of collegenutritionist on Instagram, talks about what actually works and what doesn't work, for weight loss.

If you are following fad diets or calorie restrictive diets that involve eating low-carbs or low fats may provide quick weight loss benefits. But they are not sustainable in nature and may result in side effects like cravings, headaches, irritability, fatigue, constipation, mood swings and overeating after a point of time.

According to Paul, the concept of eating small and frequent meals can actually work for people if they want to lose weight.

1. Set of schedule of eating every three to four hours. This way, there will be no long gaps between meals, you won't end up starving yourself and then overeating, and your digestion is also likely to be optimum.

2. Eat protein in most of your meals. Protein is the macronutrient that can help in building muscles and also reducing appetite. Protein-rich foods like eggs, chicken, lentils, legumes, etc are all filling in nature and can reduce your overall calorie intake.

3. Focus making realistic choices, suggests Paul. If you are someone who cannot do without staple foods like rice and roti, then do not force yourself to not eat them just for the sake of weight loss. These are carbs which are rich in fibre and will provide you with sufficient energy to follow your day-to-day functions.

4. Follow a diet and exercise regime that you can follow for life, says the nutritionist. Your diet should be one which is easy and sustainable to follow. It should include seasonal and cultural foods that have been eaten in your family for generations. Practice portion control in whatever you eat and avoid processed, packaged and junk food as much as you can.

Speaking of your exercise regime, it must definitely be one which you can continue in the long run. Never pick up workouts that can't be done on packed day, or when you are travelling, etc. Make your workouts flexible. Save workouts that are of short duration and those that can be done without any equipment.

Weight Loss Tips: Nutritionist Tells What Actually Works For Losing Weight Effectively - NDTV

The world is obsessed with fad diets and weight loss, yet few of us know how a kilogram of fat actually vanishes off the scales.

Even the 150 doctors, dietitians and personal trainers we surveyed shared this surprising gap in their health literacy. The most common misconception by far, was that fat is converted to energy. The problem with this theory is that it violates the law of conservation of matter, which all chemical reactions obey.

Some respondents thought fat turns into muscle, which is impossible, and others assumed it escapes via the colon. Only three of our respondents gave the right answer, which means 98% of the health professionals in our survey could not explain how weight loss works.

So if not energy, muscles or the loo, where does fat go?

The enlightening facts about fat metabolism

The correct answer is that fat is converted to carbon dioxide and water. You exhale the carbon dioxide and the water mixes into your circulation until its lost as urine or sweat.

If you lose 10kg of fat, precisely 8.4kg comes out through your lungs and the remaining 1.6kg turns into water. In other words, nearly all the weight we lose is exhaled.

This surprises just about everyone, but actually, almost everything we eat comes back out via the lungs. Every carbohydrate you digest and nearly all the fats are converted to carbon dioxide and water. The same goes for alcohol.

Also read: How Much Can You Exercise in the Time of Coronavirus?

Protein shares the same fate, except for the small part that turns into urea and other solids, which you excrete as urine.

The only thing in food that makes it to your colon undigested and intact is dietary fibre (think corn). Everything else you swallow is absorbed into your bloodstream and organs and, after that, its not going anywhere until youve vaporised it.

Kilograms in versus kilograms out

We all learn that energy in equals energy out in high school. But energy is a notoriously confusing concept, even among health professionals and scientists who study obesity.

The reason we gain or lose weight is much less mysterious if we keep track of all the kilograms, too, not just those enigmatic kilojoules or calories.

According to the latest government figures, Australians consume 3.5kg of food and beverages every day. Of that, 415 grams is solid macronutrients, 23 grams is fibre and the remaining 3kg is water.

Whats not reported is that we inhale more than 600 grams worth of oxygen, too, and this figure is equally important for your waistline.

If you put 3.5kg of food and water into your body, plus 600 grams of oxygen, then 4.1kg of stuff needs to come back out, or youll gain weight. If youre hoping to shed some weight, more than 4.1kg will have to go. So how do you make this happen?

The 415 grams of carbohydrates, fats, protein and alcohol most Australians eat every day will produce exactly 740 grams of carbon dioxide plus 280 grams of water (about one cup) and about 35 grams of urea and other solids excreted as urine.

An average 75kg persons resting metabolic rate (the rate at which the body uses energy when the person isnt moving) produces about 590 grams of carbon dioxide per day. No pill or potion you can buy will increase that figure, despite the bold claims you might have heard.

The good news is that you exhale 200 grams of carbon dioxide while youre fast asleep every night, so youve already breathed out a quarter of your daily target before you even step out of bed.

Eat less, exhale more

So if fat turns into carbon dioxide, could simply breathing more make you lose weight? Unfortunately not. Huffing and puffing more than you need to is called hyperventilation and will only make you dizzy, or possibly faint. The only way you can consciously increase the amount of carbon dioxide your body is producing is by moving your muscles.

But heres some more good news. Simply standing up and getting dressed more than doubles your metabolic rate. In other words, if you simply tried on all your outfits for 24 hours, youd exhale more than 1,200 grams of carbon dioxide.

More realistically, going for a walk triples your metabolic rate, and so will cooking, vacuuming and sweeping.

Metabolising 100 grams of fat consumes 290 grams of oxygen and produces 280 grams of carbon dioxide plus 110 grams of water. The food you eat cant change these figures.

Therefore, to lose 100 grams of fat, you have to exhale 280 grams of carbon dioxide on top of what youll produce by vaporising all your food, no matter what it is.

Any diet that supplies less fuel than you burn will do the trick, but with so many misconceptions about how weight loss works, few of us know why.

When We Lose Weight, Where Does It Go? - The Wire Science

There is a base amount of calories we all burn in a day, which is referred to as resting metabolism. This number stays relatively stable depending on the amount of movement we do each day by walking inside the house, running errands. Intentional exercise adds to the total number of calories we burn. But it needs to be understood that weight is not a simple calorie equation. Adding more movement in your daily life can help in increasing the calorie burn and thus weight loss.

Working out regularly doesn't just help with weight loss but also helps manage the blood sugar levels. A study conducted in 2016 found that walking 10 minutes after each meal helps in lowering the blood sugar level in people suffering from type 2 diabetes. Walking 10 minutes after having a meal is more beneficial than walking for 30 minutes during any other time of the day.

Early bird gets the worm, right? Well, it's especially true for those who love to workout in the morning. According to a study published by the International Journal of Obesity, working out in the morning can result in significant weight loss compared to working out later in the day. The best part? That workout doesn't have to be massively intense. Simply getting your body moving can result in a change in your mindset, and even your eating patterns, for the rest of the day.

Here's why getting into the habit of working out is the key to weight loss, and for more healthy habits, check out our list of 21 Best Healthy Cooking Hacks of All Time.

In this study, the participants went through a 10-month supervised exercise program where they were encouraged to complete their exercises between either 7 a.m. and 11:59 a.m. or 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. The results showed that after those 10 months, the group of people that went during the earlier times to workout saw significantly more weight loss compared to the later group, which the researchers concluded that "timing of exercise may be important for body weight regulation."

Now the interesting thing about this study is that participants were asked primarily to do treadmill jogging or walking, with occasional alternate activities (like biking or walking outside). This means that it wasn't running, in particular, that had them lose weight, but simply moving their bodies on a regular basis. Showing up to do a workout and moving your body truly is enough to get yourself in the right physical and mental mindset to take control of your health.

If starting a morning workout routine sounds like something you want to do, it's best to first assess the type of workout you like. If you're not a runner, you don't have to start running. You should participate in the type of movement you enjoy for your body because it will make the entire experience a lot more fun and uplifting. Especially if that's the way you're starting your day. Some great workouts you can try in the morning include going for a walk, riding a bike, trying a new online fitness program with free weights, yoga, pilates, and other workouts along those lines. Just make sure to avoid these15 Exercise Mistakes That Are Ruining Your Workout.

It's also important to fuel your body after a workout, so you don't feel ravenous throughout the day. Brianna Bernard, Personal Trainer, Nutrition Coach, and Isopure Ambassador, says one of the best post-workout habits is to refuel with a nutrient-rich meal that includes lean protein, healthy fat, and complex carbohydrates. This means looking for all of these nutrients in your post-workout breakfast. A great example of this is enjoying a slice of sprouted toast with smashed avocado and a fried egg on top.

Fueling up on protein, in particular, is important for weight loss and for your muscles post-workout. Studies show that the body uses more calories to metabolize protein compared to fat and carbs, which means protein will help you to feel full for a longer period of time afterward. This means you won't snack as much as the day progresses!

Protein is also important to have within a 30-minute window of your workout because it fuels your muscles. Research shows protein helps with muscle repair and it also helps to build your muscle, which helps you to look lean. Your muscles need an abundant supply of amino acids to properly repair and build muscle.

While there are a lot of details that come into play through this weight loss study, actually living this out really doesn't have to be as complicated. If you want to go for a 30-minute walk in the morning, then dig into a plate of scrambled eggs with a cup of coffee, you've already achieved what you need to do. The combination of movement and protein will help your body to feel full and energized throughout the day, and get you started on the right track for a full day of healthy, nutritious eats. Or even make yourself one of these 19 High Protein Breakfasts That Keep You Full!

U.S. News has once again ranked all the diets, with the groundbreaking result that...they are all different ways to eat food. Amazing. Their website does provide a nice comparison of the various diets pros and cons, but the whole concept of declaring one diet better than another is broken to begin with.

As weve seen with the Dirty Dozen produce rankings, a ranking assumes that each thing is competing against the others, and that those at the top of the list are better than those at the bottom. With vegetables as with diets, there are a whole bunch that are just fine, and you dont need to pit them against each other any more than you need to choose which of your children is your favorite.

Then theres the question of what a diet really is, anyway; as a word of the English language, diet can mean many different things. If somebody is going on a diet, we understand that they are trying to create a calorie deficit to lose weight. If instead we read that the diet of wild lemurs varies among species, we understand the word to mean a description of the totality of things a lemur typically eats.

The 51 diets in the U.S. News database form a bizarre mix. Some are vague approaches to eating, like volumetrics; some are commercial products intended to help people lose weight, like Noom or Weight Watchers; still others are science-unsupported crash diets. Putting these disparate items into a lineup is not really helping anyone. U.S. News seemed to understand this on some level, since they only ranked the best 35, leaving a pool of particularly bad optionslike the Master Cleanse, which Im not sure fits any definition of a diet, to be honestoff the main list.

G/O Media may get a commission

I could puzzle over the rankings themselves for days. For example, Atkins and keto are listed as two separate things (theyre arguably not), and both rank below a raw food diet that the list describes as all but impossible to follow. Like the papers wildly popular college rankings, the diet rankings seem to exist to give us something new to worry and argue about, rather than to help people eat healthier or lose weight.

First, if youre looking to lose weight, recognize that all weight-loss diets work the same goddamn way: they give you a framework to eat fewer calories than you burn. The best diet to do that is whichever one you find easiest to stick with.

Some people feel great on a keto diet; some find intermittent fasting convenient; some would rather eat low-fat and vegan. It doesnt really matter, so long as the calorie deficit isnt too extreme and youre not depriving yourself of important nutrients like fiber, vitamins, or protein.

Whether youre trying to change your body weight or not, the basics of a healthy diet are pretty straightforward: lots of fruits and vegetables, enough protein, not too much sugar. If you have specific health concerns that youve discussed with a doctor, make sure to account for those. (For example, the DASH dietis a list of guidelines you can follow if you need to lower your blood pressure. It involves eating less sodium and more potassium, among other things.) If youre willing to pay for help, youre better off consulting a dietitian than buying into the latest expensive weight-loss product.

So are you looking to eat more healthy, lose weight, or both? Find an approach to eating that meets your goals and that you can stick with. If you want some structure, its fine to buy a book that gives you recipes and a fancy name for the diet. The top-ranked diet, the Mediterranean diet, is fine. But the #29-ranked paleo diet, despite its silly premise (that cavemen made lots of fake pizzas from almond flour and coconut oil, if I understand correctly), might do the job just as well.

Our unhealthy dietary choices are often considered responsible for weight gain. We know that the result of having too much fatty, junk and processed food is visible on our waistline. So, the first thing we generally do to maintain a healthy weight is to make tweaks in our food choices. But people can gain weight even when they are eating healthy. It is linked to underlying health conditions like hypothyroidism. But besides these two factors, there is one more thing that is believed to be linked with weight gain- Vitamin B12 deficiency. Importance of Vitamin B 12Vitamin B12 has a distinct role to play in our body and cannot be replaced by any other nutrient. It is a water-soluble vitamin that is involved in several body functions. It helps to create DNA, red blood cells and even aid in the proper functioning of your nervous system. All these factors make vitamin B12 an essential nutrient for the body.

How common is Vitamin B12 deficiency Even though it is a vital nutrient, a large number of people across the globe are deficient in vitamin B12. The problem is common in people following a vegetarian and vegan diet. That's because B12 is found in animal-based food products. Vegetarians have limited sources of vitamin B12 like dairy products and fortified foods. The RDA for vitamin B12 is 2.4 g/day.

Signs of vitamin B12 deficiency The daily requirement of vitamin B12 is little. When we consume extra vitamin B12 our body stores it in the liver. A small amount of vitamin B12 is lost through urine, stool and sweat. Our body uses the stored vitamin slowly. So, it takes almost a year of insufficient intake of vitamin B12 to cause any side effects. But when a person is vitamin B12 deficient, it can lead to fatigue, shortness of breath, heart palpitation, mood swings and loss of concentration. Another addition to this list is weight gain.
