INCLUDE FLAX SEEDS IN YOUR DIET

Everyday we hear,read or see online that cinnamon is good, some say flax seed is essential , then another article will mention about chia seeds. The real question is how should we include these amazing super foods in our diet ? Today I am going to talk about flax seeds and how this amazing seed can be included in your diet.

“YES YOU CAN DRINK AND LOOSE WEIGHT”

Don’t get too happy reading my title 🙂 Lets be realistic, sometimes there’s nothing better at the end of a long day than a glass of wine. Alcohol unfortunately has a bad reputation for many people trying to loose weight or who are into fitness.But reality is that alcohol is just another source of calories in your diet like how we have protein,carbs and fat.It has empty calories and no nutrition, and for sure cannot fill you up. Off course your metabolic rate slows down to some extend every time we drink but the important thing is what we do the next day with our diet. In my weight loss journey I never stopped drinking on my weekends.I used to …

“VEGETARIANS DO NOT GET ENOUGH PROTEIN IS A MYTH”

People often ask me, “Neha I am a vegetarian, what should I eat to ensure my protein intake is substantial?” Trust me, if I had a penny for every time I have answered this question I would be a billionaire. So this definitely deserves a blog post and with the month of Shravan and Ganpati around the corner even the non vegetarians are stressed. I hope this helps you and gives you more than enough choices on veg protein. I feel most vegetarians are simply confused thanks to the western culture diets that are meat based, which leads them to believe that we do not get enough protein in plant based diets and even if we do, the choices are …

“PEOPLE WILL STARE .MAKE IT WORTH THEIR WHILE “- Harry Winston

Everywhere I go, I face the same questions… Neha, how do I lose weight? Could you suggest me a diet, please? How is your body so well-toned? You have a flat tummy, and it’s not even been too long since you had the baby. How? I put in the effort, so it does feel nice to hear words of appreciation. I wish the answers to people’s questions were this simple though… After having my daughter, I gained almost 17 kgs. I absolutely enjoyed my pregnancy. It was stress-free and I had a ball of a time. I had no worries about losing weight that I had gained because I had done it before, so how hard could it be? Let …

“BODY SHAMMING”

Body shaming has become very common. People will always blurt out things like “too fat”, “too thin”, “loose skin”, “jiggly arms”, “too muscular”, etc. LET PEOPLE KEEP TALKING, YOU JUST KEEP GETTING BETTER. Post pregnancy during my transformation journey , I attracted a lot of comments from people. Some said I was too thin, some said I was perfect, and some said I needed to be more toned. Initially, I was confused who I should be taking seriously. The answer is… no one. People’s opinion about my body really has nothing to do with me. Yes, at times it does hurt when people comment, but remember, it’s their perception which they build on their own experiences or body type they …

“DIET VS WORKOUT”

The real question is, What workout to do, what diet to follow and what fat loss program is there ? There are so many dietitians, gyms ,trainers and so many different forms of workout most of them are questionable, expensive and one doesn’t give results.

Only then it’s a lifestyle change otherwise you will be back to where u started. Once you have decided your target and goal, the next step is to incorporate healthy eating and exercises. The worst mistake you …

“YOUR BODY.YOUR TARGET.YOUR GOAL”

Excited to become healthy and fit 🙂 Before you start off your journey towards fitness, it’s very important for you to decide your goal or target. If you are trying to lose weight only for some occasion like someones wedding or birthday or for your wedding day , its good to have these goals but remember, weight lost in a hurry only comes back it in few months. Instead, set long-term goals. Try for bigger goals like getting a defined physique or being more athletic.These goals are based on stronger foundation and are more towards lifestyle change than just vanity. For me, I want to be fit ,strong and have energy so I can play and run behind my child …
