The most sustainable mantra to reduce obesity: Include these special things in your diet, you will not feel hungry again and again

Increase nutrients instead of restricting food
According to Soha Ali Khan, filling the nutritional deficiencies in your diet should be the first priority. Instead of giving up your favorite foods completely, include things that provide essential nutrition to the body. She says that California almonds are a great option for this. Rich in 24 nutrients, almonds contain ‘monounsaturated fat’, which not only controls appetite but also prevents sudden rise in blood sugar after meals.

Choose the right options
It is difficult to distance yourself from your favorite foods and this may increase your desire to eat them more. The right solution to this is – ‘Healthy option’. Soha suggests that:

• Drink ‘infused water’ instead of sweet beverages.
• Choose home cooked food instead of outside fast food.
• If you crave for sweets, opt for fruits.

Smart snacking is very important
Feeling hungry between meals often pushes us towards unhealthy snacks. Soha says that for snacking, choose such options which make you feel full for a long time. Consuming fruits and California almonds helps in maintaining energy and staying active and focused throughout the day.

Importance of protein and active lifestyle
To effectively control weight, it is essential to include protein in every meal. Foods like eggs, cheese, gram, tofu and lean meat are helpful in keeping muscles healthy and speeding up metabolism. Soha emphasizes that along with diet, regular physical activity is also important. For better performance and recovery during exercise, consumption of nutrients like almonds, which contain elements like arginine and vitamin E, are very beneficial.
