Top 10 Diet and Nutrition Tips for a Lean and Fit Body
In order to keep a lean and fit body, the amount of calories that you take in must be equal to what your body needs for daily use. There is an imbalance, like if you take more than you need, you will develop body fat, and if you do eat less than you need it is also dangerous to your health.
Therefore the importance is to get balance in your nutrition so that you supplying your body enough nutrients to meet up with your daily needs. The top 10 diet tips to keep you lean and fit include;
1. Drink enough water: one of the reasons that people put on weight is that they do not drink enough water. Water helps to carry nutrients through the body, but it also helps to eliminate waste. It has been proven that drinking a glass of water before meals reduces the amount of food eaten which in turn keeps the calorie intake low.
2. Eat a balanced meal with all the major food groups represented in their right proportions. Make sure that you have a stock of fresh vegetables of all sorts for variety.
3. Keep high calorie and high fat snacks to a minimum. Have some fruits or nuts for snacks if you must have something.
4. Do not keep yourself hungry before you eat. Snack regularly on some healthy foods so that you are not kept hungry. That way you are less likely to over eat.
5. Keep the sugar low. Sugar is usually obtained from fizzy drinks and other foods high in sugar content like doughnuts and cakes must be kept to a minimum.
6. Make smart choices in the fat intake. As much as you need naturally occurring fats in appropriate quantities in meats and nuts, and naturally occurring vegetable oils, keeping away from saturated fats that is mostly found in processed foods is a healthy choice for keeping slim.
7. Every once in a while go on a fast to cleanse your body from wastes. You might choose to go on water only for a day, on fruit only for a day in order to get a total body cleansing.
8. Keep alcohol consumption low. Alcohol has a lot of calories, and it is better to plan a regulated intake so as not to overdo it. Some people have found it useful to only drink during the weekends, and to have just a glass or two.
9. One of the best ways to stay lean is to plan your meals well in advance. In this way you are less likely to depart from the plan.
10. It is always better to prepare your foods at home which enable you to have better control on the contents of your food.
However, though good nutrition can reduce body fat and keep a lean body, doing moderate exercises for about 15 to 20 minutes a day will keep you in optimum health.
