To Maintain ‘ideal weight’, you must make some necessary lifestyle changes in your eating habits, exercising and regular habits. You don’t need to go to a gym, consult a dietician or go out of your way to bring about these changes. You can make some systemic changes to your life and achieve the ideal weight.
Incorporate exercise: Are you unable to make time for exercise? Then make your everyday routine an exercise! You can do this by replacing technologically-dependent chores with self-done chores. For example, you can walk to the grocery store, rather than buy groceries online. If you use an elevator to get to your office, use the stairs instead. Try simple walking within your home or indulge in activities such as cleaning your home, shifting furniture and decorative items, washing clothes manually or mopping your home.
Get rid of your gadgets: Our gadgets consume most of our time and attention, leaving hardly any time for interaction or activity. This addiction, over time, can lead to complexities such as poor physical health and mental health. Due to minimized physical activity, your body tends to bloat and causes a lot of uneasiness in performing everyday tasks.
Sleep Routine: How can sleep influence weight gain? Insufficient sleep can cause you to gain more weight. Here’s how! Your body produces a hormone called leptin which keeps you from excessive eating. Less sleep affects the production of leptin, resulting in craving for more food or feeling hungry more often. So, it is essential to get enough rest – a minimum of 7 hours.
Nutrients but Not Calories: The first thing that people think of when they want to lose weight is ‘dieting’. But that’s not the solution. Eat food but make sure it has low amounts of calories and a high nutrient content. Nutrient rich foods like vegetables, whole grains and lean meats keep you full for a longer time, cutting down on cravings that may lead you to eat high-calorie food. You may want to take a look at a calorie chart to see how many calories your favourite food contains.

Worst Diet for Weight loss: Some diets can have a profound impact on weight loss but they may result in some other health complications. Let’s take a look at some of the worst diets for weight loss.
Alkaline Diet: The goal of this type of a diet is to maintain the ideal pH levels in the body. It seeks to replace the consumption of acid-forming foods with alkaline forming foods. However, such a diet restricts dairy products, meat and eggs, which results in loss of proteins, calcium and nutrients.
Blood Type diet: The diet seeks to address people’s weight gain in accordance with their blood groups. However, the diet can conflict with any health conditions you might already have. For example, the diet may suggest certain foods based on your blood group but they may not be favourable for your health as they have been restricted based on your medical condition such as diabetes, blood pressure and more.
Cleanses & Detox Diet: Practitioners of the detox diet experience extreme fatigue on this diet, this is due to the low-calorie and carbohydrate intake. It also deprives people of essential nutrients, which may pose a risk to kidney, diabetic and heart patients.
Dukan Diet: The Dukan diet lasts over 4 phases – Attack, Cruise, Consolidation and Stabilization and is highly effective in achieving results over a period of 4-6 months. However, the diet requires more protein intake and a low amount of carbs. Excessive protein intake can lead to kidney damage and poor bone health.
Military Diet: The military diet is a highly restrictive one and lasts for only 3 days. While it does produce results, it can deprive an individual of essential fibers and nutrients. It puts the individual at the risk of binge eating/overeating, since the diet follows a 4-day routine of normal eating post the 3-day restriction.
