●      Eat 5 To 6 Times A Day

Although there's not enough research to back up this point she said, yet taking five to six small meals in a day is comparatively better than having fewer heavy meals. Breaking down larger meals into smaller ones not just helps many people to control bingeing but also losing a few extra inches when coupled with a calorie corrected diet.

●      Drink Plenty Of Water

Drinking a minimum of 8 to 10 glasses of water throughout the day not only keeps your body hydrated but also helps in the removal of toxins from the body and makes your stomach feel full. It also avoids false hunger (often, we feel hungry when we do not drink enough water). Top of all, drinking plenty of water keeps your skin looking radiant.

"People give a lot of importance to what they eat, but they often forget that the most important nutrient is water. No matter what protein or dietary supplement you're having, it is all inefficient if you're not taking enough water," added Shaikh.

●      Eat Healthy Snacks & Start With Baby Steps

What we eat when we are hungry between two meals is a major deciding factor of how fit we are. If you eat pakora, burgers or other junk foods as a snack when you are hungry between two meals, you will be far behind in the fitness index. Instead, eat boiled gram, dry fruits, sprouts, egg whites and nuts as snacks. Most importantly, you cannot bring these changes over the night. Instead, you should start with baby steps. ;

●      Include Vegetables In The Diet

If you want to stay fit, you should make friends with vegetables without delay. Most vegetables are low in fat and calories. Not only this, but vegetables are also a good source of nutrients like antioxidants, minerals and vitamins. A Diet rich in greens helps to solve chronic constipation and keeps your gut healthy.

●      Follow A Lean Protein And Complex Carbohydrate Diet

If you have the right balance of lean protein and complex carbohydrates in your diet, the process of fat conversion slows down. For those who want to lose weight or keep it under control, this combination proves to be excellent. It also balances the level of blood sugar which ensures regular supply of energy throughout the day and prevents muscle loss.

●      Eat Fresh Fruit - one fruit a day is mandatory.

Eat fresh fruits; they contain a good amount of vitamins, and fibre. In addition, eating fruits regularly keeps the immune system better. You can take good advantage of eating fruits by including seasonal fruits in your diet. Highlighting one habit of Indians, Anjum said, "most Indians buy fruits in large amounts, eat them in two to three days and then don't eat fruits for next three-four days. However, we should follow a pattern of atleast one fruit each day.

●      Include Fats In Meals

This common belief that eating fats is not healthy needs to be changed. Not all fats are harmful to health. The truth is that some fats are essential for weight loss and sharp mind. Omega-3s that you get from walnuts, flaxseeds, salmon fish are vital for your body to function correctly. Due to its consumption our heart and brain tissues are protected from age related degenerative diseases and hormonal imbalances.
