All you need to do is eat a healthy diet, do exercise regularly and follow a healthy regime. Trust us; by making simple changes in your daily regime you will lose weight. #MyFit100Days team of experts has doled out some tips.
  • Eat a balanced diet: A diet is called balanced when you eat right combination of proteins, carbohydrates, dairy products, fruits and vegetables -- and even some healthy fats.

    Expert Suggestions - Make sure you include veggies, fruits, nuts, drinks (Coconut water, lemonade, water, fresh fruit juices) and whole grains in your diet daily.

    The Dietary Guidelines for Americans suggest that people should eat at least 2 cups of fruit and 2 1/2 cups of vegetables per day.
  • Eat the Right Breakfast: Your breakfast must include all the 'five pillars of nutrition,' if you want to lose weight. #MyFit100Days expert suggest your breakfast should include the following:

    - Carbohydrates: Poha/Upma/Oatmeal /Idli/Dosa/Wheatflakes.

    - Proteins: Sprouts Salad With Sesame Seeds/Milk/Curd/Egg White/Sausage/Moong dal cheela

    - Fat: Fish/Almonds/Avocado/Seeds/Nuts/Olive Oil are all good sources of good fats like mono and polyunsaturated fats

    - Vitamins and Minerals: These two are very important for a balanced breakfast. You can opt for any fruits and vegetables.
  • If you are stressed out, ditch the workout! When one is in a state of stress, body will release high level of cortisol, which breaks down muscle tissue and encourages body fat storage. So try to avoid stressful situations, if at all possible before heading for the gym. Additionally Stress and Worry will severely inhibit your ability to concentrate, quite possibly causing injury due to lack of focus on proper forms.

    You can however go out for a walk to stay active.

  • Never Go Gyming on an Empty Stomach: Your body needs energy to be able to engage in exercises in an efficient and effective manner. When your stomach is empty, the body will not have the proper fuel for any movement.

    Before you hit the gym take complex carbohydrates like fruits or a handful of nuts. Ideally you should aim to take anything an hour or 30 minutes before exercising.
  • No time to sweat for half-an-hour at the gym? Don't worry just include crunches to your routine. Crunches help improve your balance by strengthening your abdominal muscles. Bonus point for being user-friendly. The exercise can be modified to meet the needs of each individual.
  • Lose belly fat by including High Intensity Workout: What you need to do? Just include the following exercises to your routine - Spider push-ups for 20 seconds + Vertical Jumps for 20 seconds + Jump squats for 20 seconds + Mountain climber for 20 seconds + Jump Lunges for 20 seconds.
  • Taking rest is good for you, but too much can be bad - Rest in between each set is just as important as exercising. Remember this thumb rule - if you rest too long your workout will lose intensity and if you rest too little you will burn out too quickly.
  • Limit Portions, Lose Weight: Serve yourself 2 Tablespoons lesser than what you usually do. Go easy with portions! Portion control doesn't mean you have to eat tiny portions of everything.

    Quick tips on how you can control the portion size of your meal: Start your meal with a glass of water, this will help curb overeating as your belly will be filled with water.
  • Eat Regularly: Don't skip your meals, aim to eat something after every 2 hours. Opt for right snacking options like fruit, dry fruits, nuts, yoghurt, coconut water, buttermilk, fruit or veggie and smoothies.

    Follow the thumb rule - Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a pauper.
