“When life gives you lemons, make orange juice out of it and leave the world wondering how you did it.” It is an inspirational quote by Mitch Griego, which suggests us to make the most out of any difficult situation that life throws at us. Some people may have taken to the literal meaning and resort to extreme fad diets such as juice fasting (only juices, no solid food) which can last up to a period of 3 weeks. On such diets, where only fruit and vegetable juices are allowed, contrary to the hype and belief, people do not manage to lose any significant weight, but they tend to lose their overall health in the process. Now, why does this happen? Aren’t fruits considered to be the powerhouse of nutrition? And experts do recommend to have around 5 portions of fruit per day. So, why does the scenario change when switching from fruits to fruit juices? There’s a lot of hype about how dramatic weight loss can be achieved by drinking copious amount of fruit juices through the day, most of them claiming to be detox cleanses and appetite suppressants. But the issue is when you replace whole meals with fruit juices and forget to count calories because fruits are considered to be healthy. With people divided on their opinions about cutting out large food groups, pinning all their weight loss hopes on certain “superfoods,” and of course vilifying carbs, many have placed a healthy halo on fruit juices and a good option to drop weight. But is this “juice formula” a good one? Most importantly, are fruit juices better than eating whole fruits to shed extra fat?

Why Fruits are Good For Weight Loss?

As we all know, veggies along with fruits are necessary elements of a balanced diet. Fruits like banana, pomegranate, blueberries, strawberries, oranges, watermelon, apple, grapefruit are rich in nutrients and antioxidants, and most of them are rich in fiber as well (which promotes overall weight loss). Fruits satisfy sugar cravings with their naturally-occurring fructose content. Also, the antioxidants, polyphenols found abundantly in most fruits neutralize the effect of free radicals and help reduce inflammation, and support cellular repair and rejuvenation. Fruits such as guava, kiwi, pineapple, etc., have minerals like copper that are absolutely needed in the fat-burning process. Strawberries, cranberries, pineapple are good sources of iodine that help the thyroid gland function smoothly, and boost metabolism. Banana, apple, and berries have vitamin B12 that boosts metabolism that in turn burns more calories. So, having a portion of fruit on a daily basis actually boosts the whole weight loss process.

Now, coming to the main question:

Should you eat fruits or drink fruit juices to lose weight? Breaking it up point by point:

Why A “Fruit Juice-Only” Diet is Not a Good Idea For Losing Weight?

1. Fruit Juices Cause a Sharp Spike in Insulin: Fruits have a naturally-occurring sugar called “fructose,” that raises blood sugar and spikes insulin release (which by the way is also a hormone that encourages fat storage). Also, do note that each fructose molecule has 4 calories per gram (the same as a gram of carb and protein). Some fruits like grapes, dates, pineapple, etc., have a higher glycemic index and when you juice them out (you lose the fiber content), which leads to a huge jump in blood sugar and subsequent insulin release, and all the extra calories would be converted into fat molecules. Also, most fruit juices are glorified sugar shots that manage to cause sharp spike in insulin, and giving a priority to fruit juices instead of whole fruits and solid food may actually place you in a pre-diabetic category, increasing the risk of insulin resistance which may lead to type 2 diabetes and obesity in future.

2. Fruits are undoubtedly packed with nutrients and are healthy, but when converted to juice, the liquid calories are difficult to count, and there’s a big chance you are consuming way too many calories without feeling full. Since fruits are full of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and other nutrients, they are considered “free food” that can be eaten in unlimited amounts and juicing them out seems to be more popular than eating them whole. Please remember, portion control is essential for the healthiest of foods out there.

3. Consuming only fruit juices day in and day out is not a sustainable formula, it can be continued only for a short period of time.

4. In juice form, fruits lack fiber and this will trigger digestive and gut issues. As we all know by now, a healthy gut is the secret roadmap to successful weight loss.

5. You will miss out on other essential nutrients (such as protein and healthy fats), needed to run the fat-burning process, when you switch to a fruit juice only diet.

6. Frequent Hunger Pangs: When you separate fructose from fiber (which is found in the meat of the fruit), the sugar is digested very quickly. The big jump and subsequent crash in blood sugar after drinking fruit juices will make you hungry again within a short span of time.

7. People who deal with diabetes or have insulin resistance should avoid fruit juices because these are rich in fructose and without fiber, it will raise up the blood sugar.

Summing up, in the fruits vs fruit juice comparison, with fruit juices, it’s difficult to reach satiation, keep a tabs on the amount of calories, and most importantly, juices cause sharper spike in insulin (which is a fat-storage hormone as well). So, in the end, whole fruits in its natural form wins the battle. So, eat your bananas, apples, oranges, bananas, etc., instead of juicing them out. Fruit juices can be part of a whole diet, not as a single solution to lose weight. In fact, one can easily gain weight by having fruit juices. Contrary to what most people think, eating a wholesome diet that keeps you in calorie deficit would help burn fat, especially the Rati Beauty diet.

Navratri, Dusshera, Diwali – all our favourite Indian festivals are coming in quick succession and while Navratri is about fasting – Dusshera and Diwali are majorly about feasting (Diwali as we all know about sweets and mithai). Even the most iron-willed dieter would not be able to refuse those delicious motichoor ke ladoo. But what about all the kgs that you managed to drop with months of dieting and exercise – post Dusshera and Diwali celebrations, all the extra weight and more would come pile back on. Festivals bring so much joy, celebration, fun, laughter, and family and friends get together – food takes the center stage. Also, during Diwali, exchange of sweets and sweet boxes is a custom, and when you are in the midst of so many goodies, weight gain post Diwali is imminent, just as in the west, almost everyone gains weight after the Thanksgiving and holiday season. But if you are someone who is desperately trying to lose weight, you do not want to end the festivities on a bad note by gaining weight! It would be a nightmare right? So, how do you celebrate these amazing festivals without putting on extra fat or increasing the numbers on the weighing scale? Read about 4 clever tips to avoid weight gain during Dusshera and Diwali.

1. Make Diwali Sweets without Sugar: How can you even celebrate Diwali without sweets? If you want to indulge in a bit of Indian sweets without actually worrying about putting on a lot of weight, make the sweets without white sugar. You can make use of jaggery, honey or even dates (but do keep in mind that there’s no great difference between the number of calories), and if you want to go completely sugar free, use stevia or xylitol. Also, condensed milk is a strict no-no which is made by adding an insane amount of sugar to milk. Certain other low-cal sweet options are banana barfi halwa, coconut barfi, sugar-free dessert phirni, badam halwa, sweet and spicy nuts, non-fried gujiya (baked), or make the gujiya with whole wheat or oats flour and with filling of nuts, raisins, anjeer and even moong dal. Also, make these in olive oil or desi ghee.

2. Keep Active through the Day: Research has proven that fat-burning enzymes (such as lipoprotein lipase) shut down and become inactive with just 60 to 90 minutes of inactivity. Being on your feet as much as possible will keep these enzymes active and thus you get to burn more calories. If you cannot manage enough time to exercise amid the hustle and bustle of festivities, try to be as much physically active as possible to torch away calories.

3. Eat a Protein-Rich Snack before you attend Diwali Party: We all know that Diwali parties are all about feasting and indulging in treats and food. Before attending any Diwali party, eat a high-protein snack (grilled paneer, apple slices with peanut butter, a handful of nuts, etc. that would keep you full and prevent binging and overeating at Diwali parties. Protein will make you full and there would hardly be any room for everything that’s there on the table. By having something high in protein, you boost satiety hormones and keep the hunger hormones in check, which in turn means that you will be less likely to binge and eat extra calories.

4. Get your 7 Hours Mandatory Sleep: A good night’s sleep is must, festival or no festival to keep metabolism high and running. Without good sleep, all fat-burning hormones slump down and the metabolism also runs low. So, never ever compromise on sleeping hours to lose weight successfully, Diwali or no Diwali.

Summing up, even though it’s hard to stay away from sweets and treats, do avoid high-calorie sweets such as gulab jamun, rasgulla, and rasmalai, etc., that have high sugar content as well. Also, do practice portion control even during festivals. Do not go for second servings, eat from a small plate. Most importantly, do not forget to balance out stress levels. In addition to giving you sleepless nights, stress can play havoc with your fat-burning hormones, slow down the metabolism, and also encourage the body to store more fat – a complete nightmare when you are trying to prevent all those extra calories from feasting from accumulating at the wrong places. Also, if weight loss is on your mind, Rati Beauty diet can help you drop extra kgs as well as inches off the waist. Download the Rati Beauty app for more details. So, are you now excited about Dusshera and Diwali without worrying about weight gain?

For half of the Indian junta, a cup of coffee is inspiration, stimulus, motivation, all rolled into one and for the rest half, “ek pyaali chai” elicits the same emotions. No matter how aggressively foreign companies market their colas and fizzy drinks, we Indians still will hold tea/coffee in the first place as our favorite beverages. Both coffee and tea act as stimulants, flushing you with a boost of energy as and when needed. As we have mentioned earlier too, both coffee and tea when brewed black can boost metabolism and do not hamper weight loss. And you already know that adding milk, sugar, creamer, and having it with snacks and treats subtracts away all the associated benefits. We definitely know how not to have tea and coffee while on a weight loss diet, but then what’s the correct to sip your favorite beverage? We will tell you the timings to get the most out of tea/coffee:

1. Have the first cup between 9:30 to 11:30 am: A majority of us walk automatically towards the kitchen to make hot cup of coffee or chai, but experts say you should actually start your day with a warm glass of water and not coffee or tea. Every morning, your cortisol levels naturally rise and peak about 30 minutes after waking up. The stress hormone cortisol is at its highest between 8 to 9 am, so having coffee around 9:30 to 11:30 am so as to not increase the cortisol level (caffeine does manage to trigger cortisol secretion). So, you do not want to add to cortisol level. It makes complete sense when experts say not to have coffee/tea first thing in the morning – dehydration and increases acidity, acid reflux, heartburn. The aroma from a hot brewing cup of coffee is enough to wake you up. Also, since coffee and tea can cause dehydration, do not have it first thing in the morning, replenish the water content, wait a little and then sip on your favorite beverage.

2. Another time window to have coffee would be around 4 to 5:30 pm because 5:30 to 6:30 pm, the cortisol level has been found to be high.

3. Just before workout – fuels your workout, have it 30 minutes before workout. Gives energy to get maximum out of workouts. Improves muscle strength, helps fight fatigue. Energy boost.

4. Have coffee at least 5 to 6 hours before bedtime. If you go to sleep at 11 pm, have the last cup by 6 pm.

5. Do not drink tea along with meals because it may hamper with protein absorption. It’s better to have it one hour before or after the meal.
6. It has also been found that having coffee with the meal or after the meal can hamper with iron absorption. Wait until one hour before reaching for a cup of coffee.

Could Coffee Help you Lose Weight?

The caffeine content in coffee acts as a stimulant, appetite suppressant, and is also known for its metabolism boosting and fat-burning properties. Caffeine also has thermogenic properties which means it torches up extra calories in the body. Unknown to many, coffee is rich in antioxidants and minerals like potassium and magnesium as well. Coffee is also a popular pre-workout and post-workout beverage and helps to ease cramps and muscle pains. With so many benefits attached to coffee, it does make sense to grab a cup of coffee right now, but wait, having coffee the wrong way can cancel out all these benefits associated, and that’s why it’s important to have it the right way to get the maximum out of this most popular beverage world over. Also read: “How Not To Drink Coffee While Dieting.”

Could Tea Help with Weight Loss?

Tea leaves are rich in catechins, a type of flavonoids that fight free radicals and reduce oxidative stress on the body. Catechins also boost metabolism and help burn more calories in the body. The different types of teas – white, black, green come from the same leaves, obtained through different types of processing. All these varieties of tea have catechins, flavonoids, and caffeine in different percentages, and a combination of catechins and caffeine has been found to boost metabolism and help burn a few extra calories.

As we have always maintained, the best way to have have a cup of coffee or tea is to have it black or plain (in case of green tea, white tea, oolong tea, etc), without milk, sugar, cream or artificial sweeteners because they can turn these low-calorie drinks to high calorie ones and cancel out all the benefits. Do not add artificial sweeteners either because they have been found to alter gut microbiome (a healthy gut can accelerate your weight loss journey). Limit coffee/tea intake to just two or three cups in a day, more would lead to dehydration. So, yes, all you coffeeholics, we would like to tell you that there’s something called as ‘too much coffee” and please don’t hate us for revealing this truth. :p

So, you can start losing weight right from today. Download the Rati Beauty app for more details.

Obesity is an ongoing pandemic the world over and the main causes are excessive calorie intake and sedentary lifestyle. But salt has received a lot of flak with regards to increase in weight gain. This has led people into pinning all the blame on salt for building up of extra fat in their body and going dangerously low on this essential mineral, but we would say please “don’t blame salt for what sugar did.” Unchecked sugar consumption is the leading cause of obesity the world over, and not salt. In fact, sugar helped you gain weight at all the wrong places, salt had very little role! Here’s what you need to hear – salt not only adds flavour to our food, it is essential to maintain the electrolyte balance in the body and therefore necessary to run all important functions smoothly. The normal range of sodium in blood is 135 to 145 mEq/L and when sodium falls below that level – it can lead to dizziness, vomiting, shock, and even coma. However, having said that, salt should be taken in moderation because too much salt can increase the risk of hypertension, kidney stones, dehydration, and heart disease. Also, with too much salt, the body tends to retain more water, resulting in bloating and water retention, and the numbers on the weighing scale go up. When the salt intake is cut back, the body releases water and that’s how the numbers drop – that’s just drop in water weight and no real fat burning. We would elaborate on whether cutting down salt would you drop any significant weight or not. Read on:

Why Salt is Important?

Salt (chemical formula NaCl/sodium chloride) is essential to run a majority of functions in the body, including nerve and muscle function. It regulates the electrolytes that allow the brain to carry out electrical signals, conduct nerve impulses, and maintain mineral balance. Also, iodized salt, is a good source of trace mineral iodine, which is needed by the thyroid gland to produce thyroid hormones that regulate metabolism and other functions. But there’s only moderate amount of salt required to run all of these functions, and any excess would cause adverse reactions. The recommended intake of salt is 2300 mg or 1 tbsp per day, or 6 gm according to US Dietary guidelines, but we are eating way more than that – most of it through processed food.

Is There a Link Between Salt and Weight Loss?

As we have mentioned previously, too much of everything is bad, and that holds true for salt too. When you cut down salt, extra fluid held in the cells to balance out the sodium get released, and that’s how a few kgs drop down on the weighing scale. Also, you get relief from bloating by reducing salt.

One more important thing worth mentioning is that we often confuse thirst and hunger signals; and since salty food makes us thirsty – most of the times we take it as hunger signals and reach out for more food – opting for a packet of chips rather than a glass of water to quell those signals. Here’s an interesting study done on a group of astronauts – they reported an increase in appetite while on a high-salt diet and drank less water and ate more food. When the salt intake was decreased, their appetite was normal. Like sugar, salt makes food flavourful, and can lead to overeating.

But when it comes to real fat burning, eliminating “processed food,” which is a major source of sodium will be a huge game changer. Soy sauce, tomato sauce, processed meat, packaged soups, instant noodles, pizza, junk food, fast food, salad dressings, chicken stocks, papads, chips, salted olives, salted biscuits, and of course pickles (salt is used as a preservative here) has too much of sodium content to cause health problems including obesity when consumed on a regular basis (since they have high calorie count too).

The biggest advantage of decreasing sodium intake by cutting down on processed food is that you can get rid of added sugar, refined carbs, empty calories, preservatives as well in the process and make space for nutritious whole foods, which eventually would lead to significant weight loss.

Summing up, though eating less salt will not actually accelerate fat burning, it will help you get rid of water weight, bloating, and water retention and curb appetite and overeating. Too much salt in the diet can lead to high blood pressure, kidney disease, increases risk of stroke and kidney diseases. It does not really matter a great deal whether you are replacing table salt with Himalayan pink salt, rock salt, sea salt or black salt, always stay within the recommended dietary intake.

If weight loss is on your mind, maintain calorie deficit, eat high-volume and low-energy foods with high nutritional value, and eat enough to reach your ideal weight. All details about how to eat right to lose weight are on the Rati Beauty diet. Download the Rati Beauty app for more details.

To drink or not to drink coffee on a diet? That’s the question plaguing people who are planning to go on a diet but cannot think about functioning without a steaming cup of coffee to jumpstart the day, also another cup just before setting out to work, another one to clear head when neck down deep in work, one more cup to tide over the afternoon slump, and of course that mandatory cup in the evening with friends or family. For a lot of us, multiple cups of coffee help to motor through the day. So, are you ready to dump the coffee when trying to lose weight? The good news for coffee lovers is that the caffeine content actually has been found to boost weight loss, improve metabolism, and even in curbing appetite – only if you drink it the right way. The caffeine content in coffee acts as a stimulant, appetite suppressant, and is also known for its metabolism boosting and fat-burning properties.

Caffeine also has thermogenic properties which means it torches up extra calories in the body. Experts suggest to have your coffee black, avoiding milk, calorie-laden creamer, and also limiting daily coffee intake to just 2 or 3 cups. Most importantly, do not have it close to bedtime because research shows that caffeine content from a single cup of coffee can keep one awake for up to 6 hours because to  lose weight successfully, following a proper sleep hygiene is important and having 7 hours of uninterrupted sleep is part of that hygiene. With so many benefits attached to coffee, it does make sense to grab a cup of coffee right now, but wait, having coffee the wrong way can lead to weight gain, and that’s why it’s important to have it the right way to get the maximum out of this most popular beverage world over. While viral Instagram trends can and heart-shaped art work on latte and cappuccinos can tempt you to grab more of them, here’s how not to drink your coffee while dieting.

1. Bottled and Refrigerated Coffee Drinks From Supermarket Aisles: Though they may look tempting, these bottles have too many calories and considered one of unhealthiest drinks that you can buy from a grocery store. The problem is that these brands add too much sugar to appeal to the tastebuds of consumers, so it’s better to leave them untouched on the aisle.
2. From Fast-Food Joints: Coffee from fast-food chain and restaurants have been found to have heaps of sugar and heavy cream, with high calorie count. Having just one cup from these fast food chains will spike up blood sugar and trigger a sharp insulin release. It’s better not to get your daily dose of caffeine from these places, at least when you are trying to lose weight.
3. Proffee: Though influencers would like you to believe it’s a healthy option – combining coffee with protein powder (that’s what proffee stands for), adding flavoured syrups, creamers, will shoot up the calorie count and make it a calorie-rich drink. We would still say, drink your coffee black to get maximum benefits.
4. Dalgona Coffee: Raise your hand if you didn’t try your hands at whipping dalgona coffee during the lockdown period. Dalgona coffee became a worldwide viral trend on instagram, tik tok, and other social media platforms due to its visual appeal and easy-to-whip recipe. Just whip together instant coffee, sugar, and milk together! The ratio of sugar to coffee and other ingredients is 3:1, which means three tbsp of sugar is added to 1 tbsp of coffee! Having dalgona coffee is the easiest way to gain weight if you take a liking to this decadent and delicious drink.

Summing up, coffee is best when it’s black! If weight loss is on your mind, it’s by being on the right kind of diet that helps you get leaner, and Rati Beauty diet helps you to shed extra pounds as well as inches. Download the Rati Beauty app for more details.

Doing gruelling workout routine in the gym to melt away extra fat is not everyone’s cup of tea. And losing weight definitely does not have to be such a strenuous process, not to be considered as a punishment for your body either. It is neither about eating bland food all day long. Contrary to popular belief, weight loss can be made a less tedious and more enjoyable with effective and easy-to-employ strategies. No, we are not suggesting at gulping down copious amounts of detox teas (there’s no scientific data to support their claims), or to invest in gimmicky products like waist trainers and sauna belts. Losing weight need not be all these things, it’s easier and safer when these tips mentioned below are followed:

1. Eat Enough But Within Calorie Deficit: Consuming lesser calories and spending more will give access to stored body fat, but a lot of people, make wrong use of this formula, resulting in a famine situation in the body from which point losing weight becomes quite difficult. Get into a calorie deficit by eating enough food, not less. Experts say a calorie deficit of 500 calories enough for weight loss to happen. Follow the Rati Beauty diet to lose weight without starving or food deprivation. Also read: “15 Ways To Cut 100 Calories Without Even Noticing.”
2. Get Rid of That Sweet Tooth: Sugar in all its forms (both white and added sugar) can make you fat and keep you fat. Excess sugar is converted to fat and stored mostly around the belly area, under the skin (subcutaneous fat) and around the organs (visceral fat). This is exactly what leads to weight gain and that’s where the importance of cutting down sugar comes into play if you want to seriously lose weight. Cut down or eliminate white and added sugar to kickstart the fat-burning process.
3. Find Easy Ways To Cut Calories: As we have mentioned earlier, it is essential to maintain a calorie deficit in order to lose weight, which means you consume lesser calories than you can burn. Using less cooking oil, having whole fruits instead of juicing them out, cutting down frequency of junk food, avoiding cakes, pastries, sweet treats, baked goods, chips – you won’t believe how many calories you can cut just by leaving out these foods. Instead include these in your daily diet – fruits, vegetables, beans, nuts, seeds, legumes, whole grains, millets, eggs, chicken, seafood, etc.
4. Shop with a Grocery List: Your weekly trip to the grocery store can actually make or break your weight loss game. If you have made up your mind to lose weight, pay attention while grocery shopping. Grocery shopping is not an easy task, especially, when you are obsessed about losing weight the healthy way. It would be hard to leave out tempting food products (read chocolates, jam, jellies, chocolate spreads, chips, baked goodies, packaged juices) that are stacked in supermarket aisles and find out healthy stuff that would nourish your body. To make things easy for you, we have listed out 99 grocery items that any dietician would approve when you go out for grocery shopping.
5. Do Not Forget the Refrigerator: A well-stocked refrigerator that has loads of processed and packaged food can act as a roadblock and barrier if one is trying to lose weight because we tend to store leftovers, sugary delight, and junk food, all in the fridge. In fact, these are “24 Worst Foods in your Fridge that Prevent Weight Loss,” so get rid of them asap.

6. Increase Protein Intake: Experts recommend increasing the protein intake in order to lose weight. Protein increases the level of satiety hormone, curbs appetite, boosts metabolism, builds muscle, and triggers fat burning. Egg, tofu, chicken, paneer, black beans, chickpeas, lentils, Greek yogurt, nuts, chia seeds, etc. are all good sources of protein that can be included in daily diet.

7. Do indulge in Cheat Meals: If someone asks you to swear off your favorite food forever, then you are most probably following the wrong kind of diet plan. Cheat meals have been found to reset a sluggish metabolism, satisfy cravings, and importantly, can help one follow the diet plan better because deprivation can lead to intrusive thoughts of food that would make it hard to stick to your diet plan. To avoid such situations, cheat meal once a week becomes necessary for tricking the body and making it believe that food is available and it’s okay to continue burning fat.

8. Prioritise Sleep over Everything: There’s one reason why you aren’t losing any weight even with slashing calories and exercising every single day of the week. Our question is – are you getting enough sleep, at least 7 hours each night? Research says that sleeping for less than 5 hours even for a single night considerably increases your chances of gaining weight, particularly belly fat! Even though calorie-deficit diet and exercise are important factors that lead up to weight loss – sleep deprivation can completely ruin your efforts and do the exact opposite. In fact, if you are finding it extremely difficult to drop extra pounds and get lean in spite of diet and regular exercise, prioritize sleep over everything.

9. Easy Exercises That Can Be Done During Commercial Breaks: Recent studies and extensive research have shown that one does not need to workout every single day to burn fat – short bursts of exercise, as less as 3 to 7 minutes, for four or five days in a week is enough to boost your weight loss efforts. The best thing is that you don’t need any fancy gym equipment – you can do these highly dynamic exercises in the comfort of your home, while watching television or do them in between episodes of your favorite OTT shows. Jumping jacks, planks, burpees, mountain climbers – these are amazing fat-burning exercises. Try them yourself

Summing up, following a nutrient-dense diet, cutting out empty calories, processed food, sugar, and being active will sail you through to your goal weight.

There’s a huge misconception that losing weight is a tad bit difficult for vegetarians compared to non-vegetarians who have endless food sources to get their protein from. Now, as we all know by now, protein is the superstar macronutrient that motors up fat burning, and vegetarians usually feel there are only just a few options for them out there to choose from. Also, overindulgence in carb-rich food among vegetarians is another major concern. Nowadays, there’s also a steady rise in consumption of processed food both among vegetarians and non-vegetarians as well. Considering so many factors working against those on a plant-based and vegetarian diet, a lot of us might conclude that it might indeed be not that easy for herbivores. But make no mistake, what actually triggers fat burning is being in calorie deficit (consuming fewer calories than your body burns) and make sure to follow a nutrient-dense diet. So, here’s a detailed guide on how to lose weight as a vegetarian.

1. Get High-Quality Protein from These Plant-Based Sources: Now, People are often advised to amp up their protein content when trying to lose weight and that’s because protein keeps appetite in check, burns more calories, boosts metabolism, and above all, keeps you full for longer so that you can consume fewer calories through the day. Chicken, fish, eggs, etc. are considered amazing sources of protein, but they are all non-vegetarian sources. And the biggest concern of people who are vegetarians – “how do I get enough protein?” if I am trying to lose weight? Worry not, there are equally good plant-based protein sources that would help you trim the waistline and shed extra pounds. Paneer and yogurt have good protein content, but if you are particularly looking for plant-based protein sources, tofu, chickpeas, beans, lentils, peanut butter, green peas, pumpkin seeds, almonds, quinoa, chia seeds, and even oats are good sources.
2. Cut Down on the Quantity of Cooking Oil: It does not even matter whether you are vegetarian or a non vegetarian, keeping tabs on the amount of cooking oil you use to prepare each dish matters. Sunflower oil, vegetable oil, ghee, coconut oil, and even olive oil are calorie dense and not having a control over the quantity can lead to weight gain. And that means – no deeply-fried food stuff while trying to lose weight.
3. Fill Half Plate with Veggies: Most veggies are extremely low in calories but they are extremely filling. They nourish the body with vitamins, antioxidants, fiber, protein, minerals, necessary to synthesize essential hormones and enzymes that boost weight loss. Though healthy foods should be taken in limited amount, fresh vegetables are an exception, which you can eat as much as you can and rarely get into a calorie surplus! Diet experts recommend getting 2 to 3 servings of vegetables each day. You can have any vegetable of your choice, but green leafy vegetables are extremely low in calories but nutrient dense at the same time.
4. Meat Substitutes for Vegetarians and Vegans: So, you just turned vegetarian/vegan for ethical, religious, health, and environmental reasons, but then miss the texture and flavour of meat?! No problem! Tofu, lentils, mushrooms, black beans, chickpeas, paneer, jackfruit, and cauliflower can be cooked in different ways to taste like meat. What’s best, most of them have high protein content!
5. Boost Metabolism With These Vegetarian Sources: If there is one way to lose weight at a faster pace, it’s by boosting one’s metabolism. With wrong dietary choices, sedentary lifestyle, increased stress, lack of sleep, metabolism tends to drop down considerably and the body loses its ability to burn extra calories at a steady rate. Metabolism is the pace at which the body torches up calories. A robust metabolism will accelerate the process of weight loss and help reach our goal weight sooner. However, for strict vegetarians, some metabolism-boosting foods such as meat and eggs are not options at all. However, they have these amazing choices – almond, apple, green tea, cayenne pepper, carrots, celery, cabbage, garlic, lemon, oats, green chillies, spinach, pineapple, green leafy vegetables, coffee, ginger, etc.
6. Practice Portion Control: No matter what diet you are on, it’s important to practice portion control and eat mindfully. It’s essential to portion control food to get into calorie deficit and to lose weight. Portion control also involves being aware of the correct amount of food and serving sizes so that you do not fall out of calorie deficit.

7. Cut Down on Sugar: Eliminating sugar in all forms (white and added ones) will get rid of empty calories and also bring down inflammation in the body – all leading up to weight loss.
8. Combine Carb Source with Protein: Here’s the trick – include a protein source at every meal when you are eating carbs. Protein balances out the release of sugar from carbs, does not cause a sharp jump in insulin. Apart from regulating blood sugar, insulin has another rule, it promotes fat storage. Research has shown that a reduction in insulin switches on the fat-burning mode. Protein regulates the release of insulin and is a great option to pair along with carbs. Also, the body uses up more calories to break down protein, and you would be torching more calories that way.
9. Switch To Whole Carbs Instead of Refined Carbs: White bread, packaged cereals, maida-based food, pasta, sweets, etc. have low nutritional and fiber value, are high in calories, and making that important switch from refined carbs to complex carbs like whole grains, oats, quinoa, millets, beans, lentils, etc., will help your weight loss journey a great deal.
10. Get Physically More Active: Hitting the gym is not a prerequisite to lose weight, but being physically active is! When you are up on the feet for most part of the day, you get to burn a lot of calories. Bonus – doing so also revs up metabolism.

Summing up, as we have mentioned earlier, being in a calorie deficit is what matters the most, vegetarian or non vegetarian has little impact.
