Natural Treatment for Weight Gain

Taking walks and eating salads might just not be enough to lose weight many a times; you need to focus on other important aspects too. Weight loss should be a gradual process involving the combination of diet and exercise both. Keep the following tips in mind for the same:

  • Don't think that you are on diet and punish yourself by just eating once or twice in a day.


    It is fine to eat at short intervals to avoid excess hunger which ultimately leads to binging at the dining table.
  • Before starting a meal (lunch or dinner) have a full bowl of salad, but remember not to add any fat dressings like mayonnaise or cream to it. The only dressing which you can use is lemon, salt, pepper, black salt or vinegar.


    Also don't replace only salads with your main meals which should have different foods from all food groups to make it balanced.
  • Eat slowly and chew each bite thoroughly before gulping it down. Take 20-25 minutes to finish your meal that gives our body time to tell us that it is full before we've eaten more than we need.
  • Avoid simple sugars and processed or refined foods, junk foods, fried or oily preparations, carbonated beverages, sweetened drinks, chocolates, bakery products, colas and sodas.
  • Exercise or physical activity you are already doing it. Make sure to speak less while walking and also your walks should be brisk enough. You can gradually increase the intensity and duration of the activity but make sure that it is continuous for at least 40-45 minutes for best results.
