New Delhi: Are you struggling to reduce weight but feel like it is sometimes impossible to shed those extra kgs on your body? Sometimes with constant and hard efforts you may feel like all the effort is zero and nothing for a change in the body is happening, you are not alone in this. Many people go through the frustrating cycle of dieting and rigorous workouts without seeing any real changes. It can be disheartening to put in all that effort, only to find that it doesn’t seem to make a difference in achieving their goals.
This common question of how to do it correctly leaves everyone in a dilemma about whether, after so many efforts, they will be able to reduce weight or not. This cycle of trying to lose weight without visible results can be draining, and even Indian celebrities have spoken about facing it. The challenge is often greater for women with PCOS, for whom losing weight can be especially difficult.
Recently, the anti-inflammatory diet has been getting a lot of attention for helping people manage their weight in a healthy way. Indian celebs like Vidya Balan and Samantha Ruth Prabhu have talked about their success with this diet. They say their amazing transformations didn’t come from hardcore workouts but from sticking to this diet plan, which brought them real and noticeable results.
What is an anti-inflammatory diet?
An anti-inflammatory diet is a way of eating food that is emphasised to reduce body weight by reducing the inflammation in the body, which may play a role in chronic conditions such as heart disease, arthritis, and autoimmune disorders. The diet includes unprocessed foods, rich in antioxidants and nutrients.
One must add to the diet fruits and vegetables like berries, leafy vegetables, and tomatoes. Lean proteins also are a good source of nutrients like fish, and plant-based proteins. You must also add in a diet of whole wheat, brown rice, turmeric, ginger, garlic, olive oil, avocados and cinnamon among many foods.
Benefits of an anti-inflammatory diet
- Reduce inflammation: This diet primarily focuses on helping the body combat inflammation, which reduces the risk of many chronic diseases.
- Weight Management: Whole, nutrient-dense foods can aid in weight loss or maintenance, as they promote satiety and reduce processed food consumption.
- Improved digestion: Fiber-rich foods help improve gut health which balances digestion and contributes to overall well-being.
- Enhanced Mental Health: Some studies suggest that reducing inflammation may positively impact mood and cognitive function.
Recently, Vidya Balan opened up about her weight loss journey and how she shifted her focus from working out to only dieting to reduce inflammation in the body which helped her reduce weight easily. Vidya shared that she hasn’t worked out at all this year, yet following the anti-inflammatory diet has brought her impressive results.
Similarly, Samantha Ruth Prabhu took to her Instagram stories and recently shared that her secret to weight loss was an ‘anti-inflammatory diet’. She emphasised that sometimes, weight loss has less to do with fat and carbs than inflammation in the body.
