Health Diary: Dieting

Picture Source: dailymail.co.uk

A lot of girls worry about their figure these days and will go on crazy diets to lose weight. However to me, it is all about healthy eating, and it can be surprisingly easy.


I have read all sorts about the no carbs diet, and yes, for a while I considered doing it. However, one of my housemates has tried the diet and gave me the feedback that as soon as you stop the diet the weight will pile on, and no carbs means saying no to A LOT of food, such as noodles, pasta, bread, rice and other foods, and some of them contains a healthy amount of carbohydrates, and for your body, the right amount of carbohydrate can be very good for your body. (as long as you don't eat too much of them.)


For me its all about loads of vegetables, healthy whole grain food, meat with low fat content (fish is good, but chicken will be fine too if you are not fond of fish.) and fruit. It is good for your body to eat a small amount of dairy, even if you are lactose intolerant (it is good for people with lactose intolerance to eat a small amount of dairy). I know it is easy for a student to buy microwave meals as it can sound like a huge effort to try and cook, but trust me, I found the fun in cooking and keeps inventing new combinations! You will get the food and the fun without all the additives the microwave meals contain.


One major thing to cut out is chocolate, yes, it sounds hard but they are very unhealthy for your body since they contain a very high amount of calories. Also cutting out coffee helps, I know it is tempting to get that cup of coffee in the morning, but I will not get it unless I am struggling to keep myself awake!


The last tip I can give you will be to keep a healthy lifestyle, there are many exercises you can do at home to keep yourself toned and healthy. Also having a regular sleeping pattern helps and fat forms when you sleep.


Please share your tips for a healthy life style! I would love to hear more tips!


Stay tuned for more!
