Intermittent fasting is an eating pattern that cycles between periods of fasting and eating. It’s very easy and there are no set rules on how to do it. Different people approach intermittent fasting in different ways. According to the International Food Information Council’s 2020 Food & Health Survey intermittent fasting is currently the most popular diet.
ADD PLANT-BASED PROTEIN TO YOUR PLATE
Meat is considered as a source of protein but it can also be problematic after some time and one of those problems can be that it can lead to weight gain. Plants are also the major source of protein. Plant-based burgers, black beans, tofu, and cauliflower are some of the most popular options that offer a lot of versatility when it comes to recipes.
SMOOTHIES OR JUICES
You can add a lot of ingredients that are super nutritious in your smoothies or juices. You can rely on natural fruit sugars or adding sweetness with honey or maple syrup can keep your juices or smoothies healthier.
CREATE EXERCISE GOALS
Many people have a habit of not making exercise a habit and that can also be a reason for weight gain after weight loss. Instead of losing enthusiasm once the newness wears off, remind yourself of all of the health benefits that you’ll get if you don’t quit.
USE THE SCALE TO YOUR ADVANTAGE
It is true that being obsessive about a number on a scale isn’t good for your mental health but if you should also not miss a large weight gain that could have been prevented. Finding how often to use the scale is a personal thing and it’s best to find what works for you. Try not to be fixated on a certain number.
